Restaurants with bug problems can face regulatory reprimands from health agencies, and if left unchecked, a lack of restaurant pest control can ultimately lead to the closure of the business.

Why Bugs Like Restaurants

The answer is essentially “the same reason you do.” There are abundant food sources and, as the kitchen staff scurries about during the busiest eating hours, containers filled with food may be left out for the sake of saving time. It takes a surprisingly short time span for a bug to locate an open food container and dig right in.

Insects, such as cockroaches, are notorious for carrying disease-causing germs wherever they go, and an incident can quickly become an infestation; and, an infestation can quickly result in a business closure.

Why an Exterminator is the Best Solution

The most efficient, cost-effective, successful and logical solution to the problem of restaurant pest control is hiring a professional exterminator.
Professional exterminators are trained to recognize signs of an infestation that may not be visible to the untrained eye. They are also knowledgeable about the habits and biological makeup of many pests including:

• Cockroaches
• Silverfish
• Spiders
• Ants
• Pantry beetles
• Flies
• Gnats
• Earwigs
• Centipedes

Upon treating and eradicating existing pests, the exterminator will return to the site at pre-determined intervals for preventative treatments. The amount of time between treatments and the types of treatments used will be determined based on the recommendations of the exterminator and the needs of restaurant management.

How Pest Control Feeds Restaurant Success

Restaurants that partner with professional exterminators also enjoy an additional benefit. By choosing a company that has experience in the unique needs of restaurant pest control, restaurant managers may also receive training for themselves and their employees in procedures to follow to help avoid pest invasion.

Exterminators who are experienced in working in the environment of a restaurant also understand the need for discretion in treating the site subtly when customers may be present. They also understand the regulatory requirements for pest control and can provide all of the documentation necessary for state and other inspectors to assure compliance with regulatory authorities.

Engaging the services of a professional extermination company for restaurant pest control may seem excessive to some, but for those who wish to succeed in their business, it is crucial.
