In a restaurant kitchen the problem is almost always German cockroaches, plus drain flies and rodents at the back door. We treat after closing so the kitchen is dry and clean before prep starts. We come once a month, and check rodent traps every week. Each visit ends with a written record you can show an inspector.
Cockroach treatment in a kitchen
- Residual spray along wall bases, under equipment plinths, around floor gullies and the grease trap, where cockroaches travel.
- Gel bait inside hinge recesses, motor housings, the gaps behind splashbacks and other cracks, not on food surfaces.
- Granular bait in closed boxes in drains and basements where American cockroaches come up.
- Proofing notes: the gaps, drains and seals that keep bringing cockroaches back, written up for your maintenance team.
Treatment happens after closing. The kitchen is cleaned before service according to the instructions we leave.
Flies and rodents
- Drain flies and fruit flies: drain treatment and misting of bin and waste areas. Insect light traps are proposed after a survey if flying insects reach the kitchen.
- Rodents: traps inside the kitchen and stores. Locked bait stations only outside, at the back door and bin area.
Inspections and delivery platforms
Food safety inspections and delivery platforms both ask for evidence: a current service agreement, visit reports and product documents. See HACCP pest control records for restaurants. If you are opening a new place, start with the opening checklist.
Cost
Starting prices are on the price list. A restaurant quote depends on floor area, the number of kitchens and how established the cockroach population is, so we quote after a free survey.
Common questions
Do we need to close for a day?
No. Treatment is done after closing time.
How often?
Once a month for the kitchen, with weekly rodent checks. If a customer has just seen a cockroach, we can add a visit between rounds.
