GUIDE / 01

Areas where pests are likely to occur

Pests are more likely to occur where there are food scraps, grease, moisture, gaps, drains, or storage areas. We check cleaning areas and entry routes together and plan steps to make recurrence less likely.

  • Services cover grease traps, drains, and kitchen floors.
  • Food storage areas, under fixtures, and along walls can also be included.
  • Entry points and gaps can also be documented in the post-service report.

GUIDE / 02

Addressing recurrence prevention

Pests may recur if they are only exterminated after an outbreak. We combine cleaning, organization, pest control, and store inspections to establish ongoing management without placing an excessive burden on store staff.

  • We arrange pest control and cleaning as separate steps.
  • We review day-to-day operations through 5S and store inspections.
  • If you have head-office reporting standards, we will align the report format.

QUESTIONS / FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Restaurant Pest Prevention and Recurrence Prevention

Where should restaurants start when reviewing pest prevention?

Check the source, entry routes, drains, kitchen floors, food storage areas, under fixtures, and along walls. Preventing recurrence involves reviewing cleaning frequency and organization as well as extermination.

Can I request pest extermination and cleaning together?

You can request pest management together with cleaning of grease traps, drains, kitchen floors, and other areas. If the source of an infestation is related to dirt or residue, considering cleaning and pest control together can make it easier to prevent recurrence. Send us the number of stores, work locations, and preferred work times to request an estimate.

What should head office check in pest control reports?

Keeping records of where issues occur at each store, the work performed, photo reports, and areas to check next time makes it easier for head office to track conditions. Reviewing trends by business type and area can also inform decisions about cleaning frequency and areas for improvement.

What’s the difference between pest extermination and sanitation cleaning?

Pest extermination addresses pests that are already present, while sanitation cleaning helps create conditions that are less conducive to pests. Looking at drains, floors, grease traps, food storage, and back-of-house areas together can make it easier to take steps to prevent recurrence.
