If you are in the restaurant business you already understand the importance of running an operation that is clean and sanitary. Business owners across the county rely on the holiday season and increased sales to boost their profit margin. Good location, skilled and highly trained staff that provide excellent customer service and diverse and expertly prepared menu items are some of the things that keep customers coming back time and again. But what happens if you develop a pest problem? Cockroaches for example can send your customers running, not to mention the negative publicity you could receive through less than stellar online reviews and social media posts. The unfortunate reality is that your reputation could become tainted which affects your business and ultimately your bottom line. According to the knowledgeable experts at A-Tex Pest Management there are three basic steps to preventing cockroaches from taking up residence in your restaurant.
Sanitation Measures to Keep Roaches Away
The first step to preventing cockroaches is to maintain the interior of your restaurant with the correct sanitation practices. Create a schedule for your staff to ensure that simple tasks such as cleaning trash receptacles, floors, and kitchen equipment are cleaned daily in addition to the deep clean that should be completed after your restaurants closes each night.
Pest Inspection Restaurant for Cockroaches
The second step to preventing cockroaches in your restaurant is to ensure that you are inspecting your establishment on a regular basis. During your inspection, you should be checking for signs of cockroach activity such as droppings or egg casings etc. Pay special attention to floor drains, trash cans, sinks, and kitchen equipment particularly equipment that has multiple parts where pests could hide out. If you suspect that you have a cockroach issue or any other pests including rodents, contact the knowledgeable experts at A-Tex Pest Management to schedule a comprehensive inspection.
Seal Cracks Around Exterior of Restaurant to Keep Roaches Out
