Pest Control for Restaurants and Food Handling Businesses
When it comes to dealing with pest infestation, the most vulnerable of all public places are the food outlets and food processing businesses. Pests are always in search of easy access to food and water, and what could be a better place than a restaurant to find food. Most business owners believe that pest infestation is due to not keeping the property clean. But unknown to most people, even if you maintain utmost cleanliness, it is not enough to keep the pests out completely once they have found a source of food in a restaurant.
Ants, cockroaches, and mice are some of the commonly found pests associated with food handling businesses. It is extremely important to ensure preventative measures are in place to completely get rid of them. Meaning, if the infestation has already occurred, then, exterminating them is rather easy for licensed pest control technicians such as Maximum Pest Control Services. But to have a safe, hygienic and disease-free environment, you must focus on prevention so that the problem doesn’t happen again.
Your job as a business owner is to serve your valued customers food that is safe and delicious. Our job is to make sure that occurs without pests interfering with your business.

Pest Control for Warehouses
Warehouses and other storage spaces which are often quite during the night are an ideal environment for pests to nest and breed. With minimal disturbance and at times new products packages coming in consistently can mean regular food sources for pests.
Some species of pests are also known to damage packages such as cardboard boxes or plastic wrapping to access the food. Rodents and cockroaches are the most common pests that invade warehouses, but others such as birds, beetles and flies as well as wildlife animals such as Raccoons. Contact our wildlife removal experts for removing Raccoons from your Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington, Milton, Scarborough, Hamilton property.
Rodents and cockroaches may often carry diseases which can be very serious to human health. Pests can spread diseases through damaging product packaging and eating away food sources, especially when the warehouse stores food items for prolonged periods which is then consumed by certain pests (Rats). No warehouse owner/manager would want to deliver live insects, bugs, or pests along with deliveries, nor you would want to damage your business’s reputation. Talk to us if you own and operate a warehouse (including cold storage) business in Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga and other locations nearby.
As soon as you realize that pests have made a residence at your warehouse, do not delay contacting a licensed pest control company.
