Inspection, Evaluation, Protection

Pest inspection in a restaurant, grocer, or anywhere commercial where food is present involves a thorough examination of the facility to identify any signs of pest activity, prevent infestations, and maintain health and safety standards. We can help you today.

Want to do a precheck yourself? Get to your space BEFORE anyone else. Walk in with lights OFF. Get a very bright flashlight. Turn it on, and point it towards areas where the wall meets the floor. If you have bugs, they will move fast. When DIY turns into DIP (Do It Professionally) call us asap.

Here’s what it typically entails:

1) Initial Assessment

The inspector reviews the building layout, storage areas, and any previous pest control records to understand potential risk areas.

2) Inspections: Exterior & Interior

These Inspections are critical to the success of Integrated Pest Management program launches.

Exterior

Foundation: Checks for cracks, gaps, or signs of termite or insect entry points.
Roof and Gutters: Looks for nests, clogged gutters, or other signs of pest presence.
Doors and Windows: Examines seals, weather stripping, and frames where pests can enter.
Landscaping: Observe any overhanging trees, woodpiles, or dense vegetation close to the home, which can be a haven for pests.
Waste Disposal areas, as they often attract pests, rodents, and vermin

Interior

Storage Areas: Inspectors examine stored products for signs of infestation (like gnaw marks, droppings, or nesting).
Walls, Floors, and Ceilings: They look for cracks, gaps, or moisture buildup, as these can harbor pests and allow easy entryway.
Waste Disposal and Drainage: Areas where waste is stored or where water or food-type drainage occurs are checked for buildup or leaks that may attract pests. Common areas: grease traps & linen bins.
Break Rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, offices; These areas are prone to pest activity due to the presence of food, water, and warmth.
Any racking, low rotation or long term storage areas with cardboard boxes, tools, etc. are prime spots for pests.

3) Pest Monitoring tools

The inspector may set up monitoring devices like traps or pheromone boards to capture and track pest activity. - Regular checks of these monitoring devices help in early detection and identifying high-activity zones.

Glue traps, controlled bait, wi-fi enabled or traditional traps & other tools deployed to verify a pest or rodent presence.
Rodents: Search for droppings, gnaw marks, or nesting materials.
Insects (Ants, Cockroaches, Bed Bugs): Inspect for trails, eggs, droppings, or dead insects.
Mold and Moisture Issues: Although not a pest, moisture issues can attract pests, so these areas may be checked.
Termites: Look for mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), damaged wood, or hollow sounds in wood. Does your business have a shed nearby? Let's check that out thoroughly.

4) Inspection of Lighting and Ventilation

Bright lights can attract pests, so the inspector will check if lights near entrances have shields or are positioned to minimize pest attraction. Proper ventilation is essential to reduce moisture that might attract pests.

5) Identifying Signs of Pests

The inspector will look for specific signs such as droppings, nests, damage to products or packaging, grease marks (from rodents), and any insect exoskeletons or shed skin.

We have seen a thing or two. Experience counts.

6) Documentation and Reporting

A detailed report is generated, documenting findings, types of pests (if any), and areas of concern. Keeping files for your records, auditors, and others helps in your compliance, regulatory, and overall success.

5) Follow up; Preventive Recommendations and Treatment Options

The inspector might recommend sealing cracks, repairing water damage, or implementing other measures to prevent future infestations. If pests are found, treatment options, including chemical, non-chemical, or integrated pest management methods, may be provided.
