Hospitality - Pubs, Bars, Restaurants and Cafes

Any evidence of pest activity on your premises, be it a pub, bar, cafe, restaurant, takeaway or any other type of hospitality could seriously jeopardise your business reputation, as hospitality businesses need to provide a safe environment for customer, staff and any other visitors. Pests such as mice, rats, flies, cockroaches and nusiance birds pose a particular threat to hygiene standards in food preparation and storage areas because of their disease risk. By reducing the threat of pests and potential damage and contamination to food and stocks, our specialist expertise can help to protect your business, brand and reputation. A professional pest control service can help protect your premises and ensure you continue to deliver high quality food and hospitality to your customers. It will also enable you to maintain the highest level of pest hygiene throughout your business to remain audit compliant.

Hotel Pest Control FAQ's

As part of a pest control contract with you, we complete actionable recommendations to mitigate against pest activity, helping to reduce the risk of pest infestations before they occur. A contract will also provide you with our vigilance, giving you an earlier warning of potential pest issues, so a small problem can be quickly controlled, before it has a chance to esculate, saving you time, money and potentially your reputation. There are also legal requirements that hotel businesses must adhere to such as the Food Safety Act (which makes provision for the supply of food fit for consumption) & the Food Hygeine  both require proof of due diligence from businesses.

An encounter with pests can ruin your guest’s stay and negatively affect your business. Reputation is everything when it comes to hotel and accommodation businesses, especially in today’s internet age where negative online reviews and social media posts can damage a hotels painstakingly built position of trust with guests. Therefore guarding against an infestation before it occurs is more cost effective (to ensure your food and beverage areas remain open and your rooms are always available) than reacting after the pests have established themselves and caused damage. Proactively mitigating the risk of a pest infestation with a preventative pest management programme is a sound investment.

Your housekeeping staff are the first line of defence when it comes to spotting telltale signs of a pest infestation early, before they have a chance to spread. So, no matter how big or small your house team they need to be provided with adequate pest awareness training so they can recognise the first signs of pest activity. Make sure cleaning procedures include checking rooms for pests such as bed bugs and fleas – as these are often brought in by unsuspecting guests on clothing and in cases. Other pests such as clothes moths, carpet beetles, silverfish, wasps and mice can also infest hotel rooms. Ensure housekeeping staff have a pest logbook so they can record potential pest issues and any complaints received from guests, so they can be feedback directly to management for actioning. Pest-Off pest awareness training via our myLearning interactive online portal, offers easy access to quality training information to help staff minimise the risks of a pest infestation, by teaching what signs of pests to look for and why it’s important to be vigilant.
