Restaurant pest control in Palm Beach County is about prevention and records. Florida food service inspections look for evidence of pests and for effective measures to keep them out. We set up a scheduled program for your kitchen, storage, dumpster and exterior areas, focused on cockroaches, rodents, flies and ants, and leave a written service report after every visit you can keep on file.
Florida’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants (DBPR) inspects restaurants, and its rules require food service establishments to take effective measures against pests getting in and breeding. One roach in front of a guest, or a rodent in dry storage before an inspection, is the kind of problem nobody wants. A consistent program and good records help you stay ahead of both.
What our restaurant program covers
- German cockroaches: targeted baits and growth regulators in kitchens, bars, dish areas and equipment voids.
- Rodents: exterior bait stations, interior trapping where needed, and entry point recommendations.
- Flies and drain pests: identifying breeding sources like drains and dumpster pads.
- Ants: ghost ants and other species that trail to sugar, syrup and prep areas.
- Palmetto bugs: exterior and entry point work so large roaches stay outside.
How service works
Complimentary site inspection
We walk the kitchen, storage, bar, dining room, dumpster area and exterior with you or your manager, and recommend a service schedule.
Scheduled, discreet visits
Visits are scheduled ahead of time, at least 24 hours in advance, Monday to Friday, around your prep and service times.
Written service reports
Every visit ends with a written service report: what we found, what we applied and where, and any sanitation or structural items to fix. Keep them on file for your records and inspections.
Callbacks when you need them
If staff see activity between visits, call us and we’ll schedule a follow-up.
Help your staff prevent pests
- Clean under and behind equipment on a schedule, not just the visible surfaces.
- Keep dumpster lids closed and the pad clean.
- Rotate stock, keep dry goods off the floor and break down cardboard quickly.
- Fix leaks and keep floor drains clean.
- Report sightings to the manager right away so we can respond.
