The production of food for customers, in school kitchens, factory canteens, prison refectories, military establishments, as well as in commercial restaurants, inns, pubs and cafes, demands high levels of hygiene and pest control, as well as nourishment and a satisfying taste.

Amongst the demands placed on a commercial kitchen, pest control can frequently be overlooked until the visit of the Environmental Health Officer from the local council raises problems. Concerns about food poisonings, the poor publicity generated by the local papers in the event of court proceedings, as well as the legal costs and fines, all come to the notice of customers if the kitchen is not properly serviced.

Complaints about smell, rodents, birds, as well as litter and waste all impose on the restaurateur.

Pest Control in Kitchens

Good food, well presented and served in an attractive ambience is the recipe to attract customers and provide commercial success.

However, this can all be put at hazard if:

• Rodent Control is not put in place.
• Insects annoy customers and foul both in the
• preparation kitchen and dining areas.
• Waste food can cause hazards in the rear yard.
• Waste cooking oil can be left to be removed (but the local
• binmen wonąt take it).
• The drains may be blocked by congealed grease.
• The structure of the kitchen may be defective with broken
• tiles or damaged refrigeration.
• Cleaning may not be done regularly enough.
• Extractor systems may be blocked or poorly serviced.
• Flycontrol systems are not audited.
