Restaurant pest control

When we conduct restaurant pest control and eateries it is to protect the fantastic ingredients, the costly equipment, the wonderful furniture and all staff or customers who will be frequenting the business. If not addressed properly a pest infestation can cause huge problems for a restaurant that if severe enough can even lead to the business being shut down and licences becoming revoked. By ensuring that any pest problem is dealt with swiftly and promptly it prevents their being an ongoing issue that becomes worse, stops the chances of infection or food contamination and assures people that you put the care and attention to detail in that customers expect of your fantastic business.

Unfortunately, as most restaurants are typically quite large buildings, this offers many places for pests to be able to get in and then work on establishing themselves within the premises. It also means that there will be many areas that are concealed where pests can easily build nests and begin to breed until you have a veritable armada of pests on your hands. Other reasons for why animals will be drawn to a restaurant are the factors for what makes a restaurant an enticing and alluring place for customers. Restaurants will always be kept at a temperature that is hospitable and accommodating to the guests. Therefore, in summer they may well be drawn in by the opportunity to get out of the red-hot summer sun, whereas in winter they have an ideal location for feeding and sleeping comfortably. Of course, the main attraction for these animals is the massive quantities of food that is available to them once they have entered the property. Keep your guests bellies full and the pests outside where they belong with our fabulous restaurant solutions.

The short term issues if your business is infested with pests

Much like the age-old adage of a “fly in the soup”, no-one wants to find either a pest or evidence of a pest anywhere near to them while they are in a restaurant environment. This leads to them having a bad dining experience, complaints lodged to management and an unnecessary disruption to you providing them with top quality care and service. If pests are found to be present in the building, then it will not take them long before they are causing damage to things. This could be scratches on the walls, bite marks out of the tables and chairs or broken equipment that has had its wires chewed through. in the worst case you may even find swarms of pests near to any exposed food such as wasps or flies.

As the person responsible for this wonderful eatery, you want to always have your focus on the customers and not have to be resorting to buying new furniture or replacing what was once perfectly good equipment.

Any pests that have made their way into the premises will have a homing beacon calling out to them, the food! Many products in restaurants are dry store products which can be kept in basements or other similar storage areas. This is exactly the kind of place where you could expect to find pests anyway, without the mountains of food for them to devour. It could be very easy for them to be snacking away on your precious stock and also possibly contaminating it for a while without you realising it.

The long term issues if your business is infested with pests

The long-term effects of a pest infestation can be extremely serious and is why it is so especially important to always be aware of the inner workings of your restaurant and any problems, pest related or otherwise that could occur. Pests are so resourceful and even concerted efforts to lock down your stock and ingredients could well be beaten by them when they are feeing ravenous. As such, any steps that can be taken to put drive a wedge between them and your food must be taken. Not only does it lead to having to through out any stock that they have come into contact with, but they may also infect the food with illness that they may be carrying. If, by chance, some of the infected foods were to be served to a customer this could lead to them becoming gravely ill. Such instances of this happening do not usually end well for the restaurateur as any mention of it serves to damage the business reputation. Once a restaurant’s reputation has been damaged it can be an exceedingly difficult thing to repair as many people don’t want to risk their health and spend money on something that they can’t be sure is safe. In an industry that is ruled by recommendations this is something to certainly take seriously. If the food standards agency became involved, then this could lead to the closing of the business and revoking of any licences that were held. Obviously, this is not something that anyone would want to happen and could be easily avoided with us and our restaurant pest solutions.

Dealing with Restaurant Pests yourself

When looking to mitigate a pest problem that has arisen in your restaurant it is important that you do not attempt to handle it yourself or with over-the-counter remedies. The one thing that you know, and know well, is how to run a successful business and make amazing food that people love, the one thing that we know is everything to do with pests, how to handle them, and how to get rid of them too, which is why you should always go with the best. Although we may not be Michelin star chefs, we do recognise the importance of safety and potential contaminations to the food or equipment. Due to this we always take the utmost care that nothing that we do, or the pests themselves, are capable of contaminating anything more than when we arrived. Therefore, you can rest easy knowing that your food supplies are safe and protected and you are not having to throw it all out. Similarly, if the pests are found within the buildings structure, then it can be highly dangerous for anyone who isn’t trained in providing pest solutions to handle and they can harm themselves and cause potential costly repairs to the building too. Do not let the pests run rampant, scurrying between tables and driving customers out the door. Not when you could have it easily rectified from a team of highly trained and knowledgeable pest experts who know just what to do to get them out the door and running for the hills.
