2-Step Plan to Keeping Pests Out of Your Restaurant

Remember Remy from Disney’s Ratatouille? The smart and lovable provincial rat with a wonderful sense of smell, who loves cooking, hates garbage and longs to be a great chef.

Wouldn’t it be nice if all rats turn out to be exactly like Remy? But it’s only wishful thinking as these things only happen in movies. In real life, rats are nefarious creatures that can wreak havoc on your property and bring about viruses and disease-causing bacteria.

Keeping them out of your restaurant is crucial not only for the continued success of your business, but also for the health and safety of your customers and workers.

To prevent rat infestation or other pest problems in your restaurant or food catering business, follow this 2-step plan:

Step # 1: Call in a Reliable Pest Control Specialist

Restaurants or food catering businesses attract pests like magnets attract metal. Pests can easily enter the premises as the doors are always open and large quantities of food are always available in various areas. One way to control, manage or eliminate rats, flies, bugs and cockroaches in your establishment is to seek help from a reputable pest control specialist. Most pest control companies like Pioneer Pest Control can design comprehensive programs and management solutions to eliminate the problems associated with pest infestation.

Step #2: Start with a Simple Pest Control Solution

A simple solution to avoid pest infestation is to keep every nook and cranny of your restaurant squeaky clean all the time. At the end of a service, make sure to do the following:

•    Place all the ingredients (e.g., sugar, flour, fruits and spices) in sealed containers. Don’t forget to label them correctly.
•    Take out leftovers and clean the dinnerware and kitchen equipment.
•    Inspect the counters, shelves, tables and chairs, and ensure that they’ve been properly cleaned.
•    Get rid of all the rubbish in your garbage bins.
•    Keep the trash bins, toilets, screens and windows closed.
•    Blot spills and remove crumbs of food that the customers have dropped on the floor.
•    Seal all crevices, cracks and holes.
Bottom Line
Rats, mice, fruit flies, cockroaches and other pests can jeopardise the health and safety of your customers and workers. Hence, it’s important to follow this 2-step plan to control, manage or eradicate these hazardous pests.
