Common pests in bars and restaurants

Certain pests are more likely to threaten foodservice environments, particularly in high-traffic areas like kitchens, storage spaces, and refuse zones. A targeted restaurant pest control service will focus on identifying and managing these frequent offenders:

  • Mice and rats can contaminate surfaces and food areas, and can breed rapidly once inside. Rodent-proofing and monitoring help to mitigate risks.
  • Food and moisture are common triggers for a cockroach infestation.
  • Flies, such as drain flies and fruit flies, are a sanitation issue. 
  • Stored product pests, like beetles and moths, can harm dry goods and ingredients. This is especially true if stock rotation and sealing rules are ignored.

A professional pest inspection can help uncover these risks before they lead to larger issues. Partnering with Ehrlich means your pest control plan has preventive strategies like pest exclusion to lower risk.

Food safety and regulatory compliance

Food safety is critical in the bar and foodservice industry, and pests pose serious risks to both hygiene and compliance. Our tailored restaurant pest control service can help your foodservice operation meet local health codes. It also keeps you in line with food safety standards, like HACCP principles.

We focus on keeping service and food preparation areas safe. Our services include kitchen pest control, regular monitoring, and thorough documentation.
