Why You Can’t Ignore Your Pest Problem
Pest problems in bars and restaurants will only worsen if left unaddressed, and allowing issues to spiral out of control leads to severe consequences. Initial sightings could soon become full-blown infestations that disrupt operations and endanger public health.
Contamination can also cause serious illness among staff and patrons. Hefty lawsuits could follow publicised cases. Facilities also face harsh penalties, citations and closure orders from local health agencies if violations are discovered during inspections. Fines often reach thousands of pounds.
Permanent reputational damage occurs if pests or droppings are spotted by customers, who share experiences on social media and review sites. Revenue drops as diners stay away. Expensive deep-cleaning and facility repairs are needed if pests damage interior structures while nesting and burrowing. Loss of inventory follows from discarded contaminated food and supplies that pests have infiltrated.

Common Bar & Restaurant Pests We Tackle
Cockroaches
A major health code violator if spotted in kitchens, cockroach infestations spread germs rapidly through food contamination and can force temporary closure. Just one sighting of a cockroach is enough to devastate a business’s reputation.
Ants
Even a few ants crawling on counters or getting into pantries can end up in guests’ food. Ants spotted in dining areas will elicit hygiene concerts, as they’re drawn to food crumbs and spills.
Flies
Flies can quickly become a nuisance, and when circling in dining areas will annoy customers and make your restaurant or bar seem unclean. Flies landing in food or drink can cause guests to get sick.
Stored product insects (SPIs)
Moths, beetles, and weevils infest dry kitchen food, causing contamination with larvae, droppings, and webbing. This results in costly disposal and replacement, with some species emitting foul pheromones.
