Common Food Prep and Distribution Pests

Problem pests vary by business. Depending on whether you prepare food onsite or simply store and distribute it, your pest concerns may be different. For food preparation and distribution companies, common problem pests include, but are not limited to:

  • Cockroaches. These bugs have no place anywhere near people’s food. They carry bacteria and contaminate food stores. They’re drawn to food spills and improperly stored food, so clean up spills and keep stored food sealed up tight. Roaches are also hardy; it can be very hard to get rid of them once they’ve established themselves in your building. Act fast to have the best chances.
  • Rodents. Any restaurant owner’s worst nightmare, rats and mice indicate poor sanitation. They contaminate food and spread disease. Worse, they can squeeze in through the tiniest of openings, so it can be hard to keep them out without professional help.
  • Ants. These insects show up when food isn’t properly contained. Spills, large or small, can attract ants. Clean up promptly to keep them at bay, and call a professional to help prevent future infestations.
  • Flies. Flies are attracted to garbage and rotting food. Their larvae, commonly known as maggots, are often found in the trash. They can even appear in dirty drains! Keep a tight lid on your business’s trash bins to deter flies, and consider drain cleaning services to control this potential vector.
  • Mealworms. These are the larvae of the mealworm beetle, and as their name suggests, they feed on grains. Storing grain properly is a good way to prevent these pests. You might find adult beetles in your food stores, but the larvae are the main damage source.

For these and any other pest control problems, give us a call to set up an inspection.
