3 Restaurant Pests
There are certain pests that are attracted to different environments. Not every restaurant has certain types of pests either, but most restaurants have pests, and for that reason, the FDA requires restaurants to have preventative and reactionary pest control in place.
For the best restaurant pest control, look to the experts at Done Right Pest Solutions.
A few pests that are attracted to restaurants are: flies, cockroaches, mice, rats, and fruit flies.
Flies can come in from the outside, from shipments, from one fly laying eggs in some old food or drains, etc. Flies are a disruption and have negative perception (and rightly so) because they carry and spread illness and disease causing pathogens everywhere they go.
Cockroaches can come in from produce shipments or supply shipments. They can hide out in wall voids, breed, and wreak havoc on restaurants. Cockroaches always have food available and they can be very difficult to get rid of for that reason.
Mice and rats are similar in nuisance. Rodents can squeeze in openings from the outside (one-fourth of an inch for mice and one-half of an inch for rats). Rats can also come up from the sewers in old cities, like Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
Mice and rats hide out in wall voids or basements of restaurants and can be a nuisance to get rid of. These rodents also carry illness and disease causing pathogens everywhere they go.
Commercial Pest Control Options
Done Right Pest Solutions offers a unique approach to Commercial Pest Control. We offer regular custom services that take a proactive approach to your specific pest control needs. So, if your business has trouble with mice, we gear our approach to eliminate and prevent mice from entering your restaurant. If your restaurant has trouble with cockroaches, we gear our approach to eliminate and prevent cockroaches from breeding and living within the walls of your restaurant.
If your business has fly or fruit fly trouble, we have options that will fit your needs. Fruit flies often breed in drains and sinks. We have a proactive solution that is safe for drains that eliminate any fruit fly breeding grounds. When applied routinely, it eliminates the possibility that fruit flies can multiply within your restaurant.
We have a similar approach for fly control. We utilize monitoring devices and insect light traps to attract any live flies to those sources, which kill the flies. Then, we take a targeted approach to any and all breeding grounds, like with fruit flies. Eliminating live flies and breeding grounds for flies is the most powerful proactive fly control approach a restaurant can take.
When it comes to fly control, Pest Control Technology recommends eliminating or managing compost areas, fertilizer storage areas, and ultimately the food source, taking down as much of the population with cleaning as possible, then treating the harborage areas, and leaving a residual product for any future invaders.
Flies often lay their eggs in or right next to a food source so as soon as the eggs hatch they eat and grow before you even know you have a problem.
Flies are carriers of over 100 different diseases: typhoid, dysentery, cholera, tapeworms, giardia, and more. For this reason it is also important for pest management professionals to use products that have cleaning agents in them like bacticides (kills bacteria) or viricides (kills viruses).
Done Right Pest Solutions offers integrated approaches to fly treatments including these sanitary measures. Make sure your fly control plan has sanitary measures.
For any and all of your restaurant pest control needs, contact Done Right Pest Solutions. We have Weekly Service, Monthly Service, and Quarterly Service options available to fit the needs and budget of your restaurant.
