Restaurant Pest Control in London

Mice in restaurants - One of the most common pests infesting restaurants and commercial kitchens are mice and rats. Rodents can cause property damage and additional pest infestations - fleas, ticks, and mites. They can also spread diseases such as Salmonellosis, which can contaminate food items and equipment. Due to their nesting, burrowing, and gnawing habits, mice are a significant concern for the restaurant industry as they can damage fixtures and electrical equipment. Furthermore, they can also cause a loss of stock by eating food items and damaging packaging and containers. Rodent control in your restaurant requires an effective pest management program. Preventative measures include eliminating harbourage areas in and around buildings and storing food in airtight containers. Regular inspections and maintenance of your restaurant building are also effective ways of controlling access points.

Cockroaches in restaurants - Cockroaches are the most common type of crawling insects that infests restaurants. They’re able to hide in small spaces, reproduce quickly, and can carry diseases. As nocturnal animals, cockroaches spend the day hiding from predators before emerging at night to look for food. The critters may crawl on cutlery, dishes, grills, etc., making them unsanitary to use. Cockroaches can be a huge concern for restaurants. A cockroach infestation can spread quickly as they hitchhike into restaurants aboard shipments and deliveries and hide in dark voids within buildings. Clean up spills and properly dispose of waste to prevent cockroach infestations in restaurants.

Flies in restaurants - These little pests can ruin a restaurant's or bar's reputation. Fly species such as fruit flies, drain flies, and house flies are attracted to food odours generated by commercial kitchens. Flies' feeding and breeding habits make them a huge food safety risk for restaurants. In a restaurant kitchen, sanitation is crucial to preventing flies. When there's plenty of food and warm conditions, flies multiply quickly. A high level of hygiene is essential for controlling flies in your restaurant by reducing the number of food sources and breeding sites. Flies must be kept out of your restaurant. Ensure your fly screens are in good condition in kitchen areas, and keep your doors and entryways closed when not in use.
