Restaurant Pest Control in Columbus 

Which Pest is Bugging Your Restaurant?

Restaurants provide the perfect environment for pests, offering easy access to food, moisture, and shelter. Knowing which pests to watch for is the first step in protecting your business. 

The most common pests found in restaurants include:

• Rodents - Mice and rats are drawn to food sources and waste areas. Once inside, they can contaminate food, chew through packaging, damage equipment, and spread diseases. 
• Cockroaches - These pests thrive in dark, warm areas such as kitchens, drains, and storage rooms. They are known carriers of bacteria, making them a major health hazard in any food establishment. 
• Fruit Flies and houseflies - Flies are a common nuisance in restaurants, especially near food prep areas, garbage bins, and drains. They pose health risks as they carry bacteria and pathogens that easily transfer to food and surfaces. 
• Ants - Small but persistent ants often invade restaurants to hunt for sugary or greasy food. They can quickly overrun breakrooms, pantries, and kitchens. 
• Stored product pests - Grain weevils, flour beetles, and other pantry pests can infest stored ingredients, leading to wasted inventory and potential contamination.
