There are several major advantages that come with using metal as a building material for varying structures, and one of these is protection from various elements and risks. One such risk that many building owners care about is pests - and this is definitely a key area where metal buildings hold major advantages over many other types.
At Redi, we're happy to assist with metal building construction and numerous other industrial construction services for clients around Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming. Here are some of the basics on how metal structures resist pest infestations, and why they're considered some of the best options if this is a top priority for any client.
When it comes to larger pests, such as rodents, squirrels, birds, raccoons and so on, the strength of metal makes it a formidable barrier. Metal is much tougher to chew through, making it harder for larger pests to find a way into the building. Additionally, as an extra layer of defense, metal buildings are also often used with appropriate door seals that prevent even more of these large animals from entering.
For these kinds of pests, this means their primary method of entering is blocked, thus reducing the risk of an infestation.
Metal isn't just effective against bigger pests but smaller ones as well, such as insects and spiders. For these, metal works in a slightly different way - rather than being too strong for them to penetrate, it instead acts as a seal that stops them from getting in. This is because metal structures can be sealed tightly, which means even the tiniest of pests won't find a way inside.

One of the top pests some people naturally worry about in their property is termites. These can cause a lot of damage and are notoriously difficult to get rid of if they do manage to invade a building. The good news is, metal buildings provide excellent protection against these pests too - due to their inability to penetrate the steel, termite infestations aren't generally an issue with this type of structure.
For instance, our team at Redi constructs buildings with steel that's rust-proof, rot-proof and termite-proof - giving clients total peace of mind when it comes to pest control.
One common source of pest infestations is leaky buildings, as this can provide a source of food and water that draws them in. Metal buildings are much less prone to these issues arising, which makes them an even better solution for pest prevention - especially when you factor in the additional seals used to prevent larger entry points from opening up.
Compared to other materials, metal buildings are far more resistant to leaks and provide a much better solution for pest control.
Down related lines, metal buildings also provide extra advantages when it comes to sealing up windows and doors - as there's much less risk of warping or shrinking over time. This makes them a great option for clients who want an additional layer of protection against pests, as adding seals to the doorways is an easy process and will ensure that no unwanted visitors can get in.
While metal structures themselves offer more than most materials when it comes to pest prevention, this doesn't mean building owners or occupants have no role to play. Here are some additional tips for maintaining pest prevention within any metal building:
