How to protect your restaurant against pest infestation

1 Mar 2017 | By Bug Busters

How can we Help?

When pests invade your commercial kitchen, it’s not just your food that’s at stake. If a customer or food safety inspector picks up on an insect infestation in your Perth restaurant, this can impact both your business and your reputation – and whilst a pest problem may pass, a bad review can stick around for a long time! With the help of Perth’s commercial pest control experts, you can protect your  restaurant against pest infestation and ensure you meet your food safety requirements when it comes to inspection time.

Ensure your restaurant’s protection with Bug Busters’ expert termite treatment in Perth, eliminating the risk of further termite damage. We also provide detailed termite inspections in Perth, helping restaurant owners identify early signs of infestation.

Common restaurant pests

Food hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance for Perth’s restaurants and commercial kitchens. Whilst unwanted insects can keep customers away, pest infestations also pose major food safety problems. Unfortunately for Perth’s restaurant owners, commercial kitchens house all the ingredients pests need for survival (food, warmth and water), so it’s important to regularly protect your restaurant against common pests.

  • Cockroaches – These common pests spell out disaster for anyone working in the commercial food industry. Whilst the best solution for cockroach control is to organise commercial pest management with your local pest experts, you should also ensure that any leftover food is sealed in air-tight containers to fend off any insects searching for snacks.
  • Flies – Flies are another prime suspect when it comes to invading commercial kitchens. The common bugs will often transfer any dirt they’ve picked up onto food, meaning they can pose a serious threat to your restaurant’s hygiene. Whilst generally off-putting for customers, contaminated food is a key concern when it comes to inspections, and can ultimately impact your restaurant’s reputation.
  • Ants – Ants are experts when it comes to seeking out leftover food scraps. Unfortunately for Perth restaurant owners, these common creepy crawlies always work in numbers, so what initially seems like a small problem (literally) can soon get out of hand. Since greasy and sugary foods are a fan favourite with ants, it’s important to clean up any leftover food and spillages as soon as they occur to avoid unwanted infestations.

What our Clients say

We had an appointment scheduled very quickly and easily with Bug Busters. Aaron was on time and a true professional. He was knowledgable, open, and explained the whole process easily and clearly. Gave us a guarantee that our problems would be solved and if there were any future issues he would attend to them himself with the utmost expedience. Aaron was a real pleasure to work with and i feel significantly more comfortable after working with him. Would recommend their services to anyone who needed them.

Chey Bowers

I found the young man named Deryn who came to deal with our rodent problem to be extremely polite, personable and knowledgeable. He was on time and friendly and knew a lot about the behaviours of the rat species. I would highly recommend Bug busters and will definately them for future pest problems when they arise.

Sarah Garrett

Bugbusters installed termite traps around my house and shed many years ago. Every 3 months the traps are inspected for any termite activity. At intervals the house, ceiling and shed are are checked for termites. They have also dealt with wasp infestations and put rat baits in the ceiling.. Their operatives have always been helpful and friendly. I would recommend Bugbusters to anyone.

I have used Bug Busters on a number of occassions over the last 15 years. The last time only a few days ago.. Derryn was absolutely client focussed; professional; neat and cleaned up impeccably my jarrah floors that had just been re varnished. I have no hesitation to recommend this company.. Five stars from me. Paul Vic Park.
