As a restaurant owner, no one has to explain to you how devastating a pest infestation can be to your business. In order to avoid the consequences that come with having an infestation in your restaurant, you need to have it treated regularly for pests. The frequency with which you need to have it treated depends on a number of factors. The first step to determining how often you should have your restaurant treated for pests is to talk to a pest control professional. The pros at San Joaquin Pest Control will give you a free inspection, evaluation, and custom plan recommendation so you can get your restaurant set up on an effective treatment schedule.
Inspection
Before you can get a custom plan created you need to have a pest inspection completed for your restaurant. During the inspection, the pest pro will look for signs of pest activity. If droppings are present the inspector will be able to identify which type of pest left them. In addition, he will know how to spot signs of damage that large pests like rodents can cause. He will also look for the areas in your restaurant that are allowing pests inside.
Evaluation
After the inspection of your restaurant, the pest pro will provide you with an evaluation of your current situation. You will learn about any current pest problems in your restaurant as well as potential threats. The inspector will point out the cracks, holes, and tears that are allowing pests inside. The evaluation is designed to help you understand the current condition of your restaurant. Once you understand the infestation status of your restaurant it will allow you to make an informed decision about treatment options.
Custom plan
There is no one-size-fits-all option for protecting your restaurant from pests because every restaurant is unique. After your inspection and evaluation you will receive a custom treatment plan recommendation. It will include plans for exclusion (preventing pests from getting inside) and eradication (getting rid of pests that are already in your restaurant). The plan will let you know what needs to happen to ensure your restaurant is pest-free and how often you should have it treated for pests going forward.
Regular pest control treatment is not a luxury or an option for restaurants – it is a necessity. If you do not currently have a pest control plan for your restaurant it is imperative that you set up an inspection right away. Allowing pests to infest and remain in your restaurant is a threat to the health of your customers and the reputation of your business. The pros at San Joaquin Pest Control have been working with businesses in the food service industry for over forty years and would love the opportunity to help you keep your restaurant pest free.
