Restaurants in Perth can be tough to run, and pests only complicate things. Pests can damage not just your food and equipment, but also your reputation. Any restaurant, even the cleanest ones, can end up with an infestation. So restaurant owners and staff must recognise the signs of pests and act fast. There are four primary signs that you may have a pest problem, which you can keep an eye out for.

1. Contaminated Food

One of the warning signs of bugs at your restaurant is food that’s been infested with pests. Torn sacks of flour, grain on the floor or webbing and larvae near stored products indicate that pests may be present. Insects are often present in grains, dried fruit, confectionery, cheese and meat. Frequent checks and commercial restaurant pest control treatments can help you avoid infestations getting out of control.

2. Pest Excrement

Droppings are another obvious warning. Rats and mice leave small brown or black pellets, while cockroaches deposit droppings that look like coffee grounds or black pepper. Cockroaches are among the most challenging pests because they’re nocturnal their droppings often are more easily seen than the pests themselves. Frequent pest control services can prevent pests from taking up residence in your Perth restaurant and restrict their activity.

3. Signs of Nests

Pests like to ‘nest’ when inside your restaurant. These nests are typically tucked in a dark corner, beneath furniture or inside of storage spaces. Search for shredded cardboard, wood or cotton as evidence of a nest. Small mounds of dirt could be a sign of ants. Spotting nests early is crucial. By reaching out to a professional and enlisting the help of a restaurant pest control checklist, you can equip your staff to head off problems before they get worse.

4. Structural Damage

Some pests, such as rodents, are able to get inside walls and ceilings and can cause substantial structural damage. They also gnaw through wires, furniture and food packaging. If the restaurant is quiet, you can listen for rustling or skittering sounds that can help you catch them early. Ignoring structural damage or water in your home can also bring more pests, exacerbating the issue. The help of professional treatment is needed to break the cycle.
