How is DedAnt responding to the Coronavirus Crisis?

The work of building and pest inspection requires a certain amount of physical proximity. Inspectors must enter a property to conduct the wide range of services they offer.

However, Dedant has taken on several measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus and protect our staff as well as the community at large.

Any staff who feel sick must stay home. Social distancing is maintained in the office and on the job.

Inspectors must wear protective masks and gloves to limit the risk of transmission by cough or touch.

Equipment is cleaned constantly. Hand sanitizer is used before, during and after every inspection.

Keeping Our Staff and the Community Safe

Businesses can help fight the coronavirus with professionalism and good hygiene. Dedant has always followed these habits which are now more important now than ever.

However, in the event a client is sick, we will refrain from entering the property out of concern for the health of our inspectors and the general public.
