Flies, roaches, and rodents are three of the dirtiest restaurant pests you should be concerned about. All three can spread diseases and are absolutely not what you want as a part of your diners’ experience.
Whether you have an infestation or not, one pest sighting can spell disaster for your restaurant rating. Therefore, it’s essential to take the necessary steps to prevent them from entering your restaurant! At B & D Pest Solutions LLC, we promise you one thing: to create a commercial pest management program that will quickly and effectively take care of your problem.
Prevent Flies from Taking Over
There are few things more irritating than trying to eat a nice meal with flies buzzing on and around your food. Although they are small, flies are among the filthiest pests. They can carry diseases like cholera, typhoid, and salmonella. Flies spend much of their time in unsanitary areas such as garbage cans, carcasses, food waste, and feces. When they make a quick stop on your food, they potentially deposit thousands of bacteria in a matter of seconds. This transmission can result in diarrhea, food poisoning, and bloodstream infections.
Most diners are not aware of all possible threats flies can cause. However, they are very likely to associate any resulting illness with the food they ate at your restaurant. Therefore, you must take a proactive approach in your treatment and maintenance of flies.
Stop Cockroaches Before They Get In
Cockroaches are highly resilient and adaptive pests. Unfortunately, they are often resistant to over-the-counter types of pest control treatments. With more than 70 different types of roaches in the U.S., it is quite likely that you will encounter them in your restaurant at some point. After all, the restaurant environment provides everything roaches need to thrive: food, water, and shelter.
Cockroaches are also excellent at hiding in dark cracks and crevices. If you see one scurrying across the floor, it could be a sign that there are many more. Roaches can contaminate food, spread disease, and threaten your restaurant’s reputation. Keeping these pests out before they get in is an absolute must!
Rodents Can Spell Disaster
The presence of mice or rats in your restaurant is disastrous. It can be a sign of unsanitary conditions and can lead to a large host of problems such as food contamination, serious reputation damage, and poor food safety audit scores. Rodents are known for carrying deadly neurological and respiratory diseases like lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. Also, fleas, ticks, and mites often feed on infected rodents and transmit diseases to humans. This puts your patrons and employees at serious risk.
Rodents can squeeze into the tiniest of spaces. Mice can get through a hole the size of a dime, so it’s not difficult for them to make their way into your restaurant, and they have no reason to leave because of the abundance of food, water, and shelter.
