An active pest infestation is a health code violation.

PEST CONTROL FOR SYDNEY RESTAURANTS: KEEPING YOUR RESTAURANT PEST-FREE

As an experienced pest control company PNP Pest Control Sydney implements an integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which targets both external and internal areas of your restaurant.

Our aim is to protect your current pest problems, but also to prevent future pest problems and investigate the reason the pest problem exists.

PNP Pest Control Sydney will eliminate the things pests need to live and survive, food, water & shelter

In all successful pest free businesses in Sydney, pest controllers work hand in hand with the owner of the restaurant to ensure each party is doing their part to prevent pest infestations by:

ELIMINATING ENTRY POINTS

Pests can enter buildings through doors, windows and gaps or holes within wall cavities. Ensure there are no openings on the outside of the building that would invite pests inside.  Entry points can come from issues in the foundations to something as simply as having a door to the kitchen that does not seal correctly.  Doors to your restaurant should be fitted with door sweeps and be self – closing.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING SHOULD BE BACK FROM THE BUILDING

Correct placing of external lights could play in an important role in keeping pests away from your restaurant. Ensure that lights are not set directly above the entrance way, rather set them back away from the building but direct the light towards to entrance.

Using Yellow light bulbs can assist in reducing the attraction of flying pests.

CLEAN OUTSIDE YOUR RESTAURANT

Often over looked in Sydney restaurants is the cleaning of the external areas that surround your establishment.  Property cleaning and hygiene of these areas would reduce the keeping pests out of your building. Dispose of any discarded rubbish that may be laying around, such as packaging or food waste. Take out the rubbish on a regular basis and place in sealed bins externally.

Take Out the Garbage!

The external areas around your restaurant should be free of litter, trash, foliage and still water sources. If your garden beds are covered with mulch , it would be recommended to remove as rats & mice find mulch a good source of nesting material.

Wash out all garbage containers when not in use and keep them covered.

Plumbing Issues?

All pests need water to survive, leaking taps, recurring puddles of water or water that has collected in empty containers externally can be an open invitation for pests.

If any of these issues are taking place in your Sydney Restaurant call a plumber and have this resolved as soon as possible.

PNP Pest Control also recommends removing any junk piles accumulating in the back such as old kitchen appliances, equipment, pallets etc

CLEAN  YOUR RESTAURANT

This goes without saying, but you may just be surprised how many restaurants do close up for the night without cleaning!

Do not leave food out overnight, keep all floor areas clean of food scraps. Any spills should be cleaned up immediately .

This is one area that no Sydney Restaurant should be relaxed about as these areas can attract pests such as cockroaches, ants, spiders, flies, rats & even termites.

All cracks and crevices in the wall or floor areas should be sealed.

TRAIN EMPLOYEES ON RESTAURANT PEST CONTROL

Your staff should understand the importance of pest control in your restaurant, and they should all be aware of what they can do to prevent pests and what they need to do if a pest issue is found.

Many companies use a document called a pest sighting registrar where staff can make a note of what pest was seen, where and when it was seen. Managers and owners should take heed to any employee that reports a pest issue.

The longer a pest issue is left untreated the longer time pests continue to breed and spread out.

An employee who is complacent about sanitation whilst handling food, may ignore a piece of food that drops out of the trash.

With an understanding of how exposed waste in bin areas can attract pests, that employee may be more careful.
