If restaurants have regular Pest Control Treatments they will not have a pest problem! The usual Pest Control Treatment recommendation, for restaurants and the food industry, is to have quarterly treatments. However, if there is a bad infestation to begin with, then more regular pest treatments would be necessary (for example: monthly). Until the problem is under control and you can go on a maintenance program. Also if the pest are not under control with quarterly treatments that is also when the treatments would have to be done more regularly.
In commercial kitchens, it is highly recommended, to get a pest problem under control quickly. Then, you go onto a maintenance program, so you never have to deal with an infestation again. Also, don't run the risk of possible closure, if an Inspector finds your place infested with pests, it will be closed down. The NSW Food Authority who regularly inspect cafés, restaurants and retail food outlets are there to verify that you comply with the Food Standards Code. Customers want a restaurant that is clean, serves wonderful food and has great service.
In conclusion: the Pest Control Technicians needs to implement a Winning Pest Management Program for your restaurant, so you can achieve a Pest Free Restaurant. Also, YOU the restaurant owner/manager have to have good hygiene practises established in YOUR restaurant. Then there will be no unwanted pests at your restaurant. They will dine elsewhere.
