The Problems Roaches Can Cause In Your Boise Restaurant

Cockroaches are well-known as highly unhygienic pests, and they can bring several problems with them into your Boise restaurant. The areas that cockroaches move through, such as sewers and dumpsters, enable them to pick up pathogens that they then track through the surfaces of your restaurant and into food storage areas. These pathogens risk picking up serious illnesses, including cholera, dysentery, gastroenteritis, and salmonellosis.

Additionally, sightings of cockroaches around your restaurant can be a major hit to your business’s reputation. Once lost, your reputation is hard to gain back, so it is a much better idea to prevent cockroach infestations. 

Six Tips To Keeping Your Restaurant Pest Free

To help you control and prevent cockroaches or other pest invasions in your Boise restaurant, you can follow our six expert tips below to safeguard your business:

• Reduce cockroaches in your restaurant by keeping exterior doors and windows closed tight when possible. Consider using weather stripping to further protect against this pest.
• Seal up cracks around the windows, doors, and foundation of the building to stop easy entry through these areas.
• Dispose of trash and food waste promptly in tightly sealed bags and use trash cans with lids whenever possible, stopping cockroaches from being drawn to trash areas around your restaurant by the aroma.
• Ensure that leftover food is sealed correctly, and consider using airtight containers whenever possible to deter roaches from food storage areas.
• Address moisture issues in your restaurant, especially in food prep or kitchen areas. A reduction in excess moisture will make the area less appealing to roaches.
• Declutter restaurant areas and keep things clean. Don’t leave food, food waste, or trash in kitchen areas, as this will only attract roaches looking to feed and hide. Adhere to all cleanliness protocols. 

The old saying 'the cleaner the better' and these practical tips will help deter cockroaches from infesting your restaurant. Partnering with Owyhee Environmental is the best protection against these invaders.
