Integrated pest management for restaurants

The most effective, long-term way to manage pests in restaurants is by using a combination of different methods that work together to ensure the pests do not return. Below are the four primary tactical approaches that can be deployed. Depending on the particular pest problem, we’ll deliver a combination of these methods to solve the issue.

Biological controls

Biological control is the use of the pests’ ‘natural enemies’ to eliminate them in a human safe way. This might include natural heat treatments to destroy fleas, cockroaches, beetles or moths. Biological pest controls can often provide a more effective and safer alternative to chemical methods.

Cultural controls

Cultural control is about understanding what operational procedures are contributing to the pest’s ability to thrive and making some modifications to the way things are done. For example, for rodent issues, through our free assessment, you’ll learn how the pest gains access to food and water. We will recommend better practices to limit this access. For carpet moths, you might consider replacing wool carpets with synthetic materials, as the moth larvae won’t eat synthetic carpets.

Physical controls

Mechanical or physical controls can either kill a pest directly, block pests from entering, or make the environment uninhabitable for them. Examples of physical control include traps used for rodents, or UV fly traps to catch flies in the kitchen. It also involves identifying how pests enter the premises, and aims to block entry where feasible.



Chemical controls

Chemical control is the use of pesticides. We only use chemicals if they are the most effective method, and they are always used in combination with other approaches as part of a long-term solution. We know that most of our customers ask for non-toxic pest control, which is why, for most pest types, we have higher-impact, non-chemical methods available. Where chemicals are needed we use them in a highly controlled and safe way.
