When it comes to pests like bed bugs, cockroaches, rodents, or ants, hotels and restaurants require more monitoring. Because these types of infestations can be detrimental to the reputations of these industries, it’s important to hire extermination professionals to create a pest management plan to treat and prevent further issues.
NYC hotels and restaurants also have state and municipal sanitation and health codes to follow. Business owners can expect regular inspections by their local health department. This means it is important that pest management companies also help their clients stay up to code.
Types of Pests Found in Hotels and Restaurants
It is true that hotels and restaurants have many of the same pests, but some additional nuisance animals can cause issues at places that offer lodging. Squirrels and carpet beetles are not typically a problem for the restaurant industry. This difference is critical to choosing the right exterminator for your pest control needs so that you don’t have angry customers calling the front desk.
Typical infestation issues found at hotels include:
- Mice
- Birds
- Flying insects
- Bedbugs
- Cockroaches
- Carpet beetles
- Ants
- Drain flies
- Squirrels
Restaurants in NYC also have similarities and differences in the types of problem animals that can create unsanitary situations in the kitchen and outdoor grounds. Raccoons are a frequent annoyance for many food-related businesses because of their scavenging trash and making a mess while doing so. This type of activity can cause a county, state, or federal health official to find a business out of compliance with the health code due to the unsanitary conditions produced by these animals.
A well-trained exterminator helps to eliminate this headache and create an effective management plan to control common restaurant pests like:
- Drain flies
- Fruit Flies
- Ants
- Grain beetles
- Cockroaches
- Mice and rats
- Pigeons
- Raccoons
- Opossums
- Skunks
Pest Prevention and Treatment
There are many methods not just to eliminate annoying creatures in your hotel or restaurant, but prevent them from reoccurring. These approaches are very similar in nature but differ in practice depending on the animal or insect causing issues.
Hire a pest control professional to create an effective pest management plan. Hotels and restaurant owners do not have the time to dedicate themselves to tracking down and removing nuisance animals. They have businesses to run! An experienced exterminator can lift this burden off an owner’s shoulders and provide an effective solution.
Flying insect extermination utilizes a few different steps. The use of lighting attractants and bait traps are very effective in conjunction with using a residual insecticide. It is important to also thoroughly clean and treat your drains to help stave off reproduction of these pathogen-carrying creatures.
Rodent control requires methods that are safe to humans and the environment. Typically exterminators use bait stations and mechanical traps along with an analysis of your building’s state of repair, cleaning habits, and food storage practices.
Crawling insect treatment can vary greatly depending on the offending insect. Because pests like cockroaches and bedbugs damage and contaminate everything they touch, it’s important we monitor this activity regularly. Baits and residual insecticides are used in these situations to eliminate and pest issue we find.
Locating entry points into your business. Knowing how these creatures get into your NYC facility is critical to future infestation prevention. Good pest control technicians should always be looking for these vulnerable areas and make you aware.
