May 01, 20253 min read

Hey there! Providing your customers with top-notch customer service doesn’t only stop with the welcome they get or the quality of the food that you provide them; it’s also in keeping your area clean, safe, and healthy for everyone who enters your establishment.

Yo, even though I deal with pests like cockroaches which are kind of a nightmare for restaurants like us, especially here in Perth. They’re not simply a nuisance  they can be damaging to our sacred reputation and cause our amazing customers reconsider coming back.

That’s why it’s vital that all food premises in Perth have effective pest control |programs in place. We want to make sure those annoying pests are gone for good and never come back.

Steps to Keep Those Cockroaches at Bay


Our customers might be scared off by a cockroach sighting, and tarnish the reputation we’ve so diligently built. Pretend you see a roach crawling across the table oh no! And, if a health inspector sees one, it can mean having to shut down temporarily. All of this so we don’t get added to a name-and-shame list!

We have to keep our premises roach-free. Keep working hand in hand with the pest control professionals and maintain high standards in our kitchen, it makes all the difference.

Keeping the Kitchen Spotless

The kitchen is an ideal environment for cockroaches because they thrive in warm environments. Since this is where we keep and prepare our food, it’s often right where the trouble begins. Here’s how we maintain tip-top shape of our kitchen:


  • Clean every nook and cranny.

  • Store food in airtight containers, no exceptions!

  • Never leave food out on counters.

  • Wash dishes promptly and keep those counters wiped down throughout the day.

  • Deal with spills immediately, sweep up crumbs, and mop the floor regularly.

  • Empty and wash out trash bins to leave no crumbs behind for unwanted guests.

Sparkling Clean Everywhere Else


A clean restaurant is your first line of defence against pests. 

Make sure the dining area is always tidy and welcoming.

  • Keep tables, chairs, and counters clean.

  • Regularly sweep, mop, or vacuum the floors.

  • And don’t forget the bathrooms keep them pristine!

Seal Off Entry Points

Roaches can also get in through incredibly tiny places door cracks, foundation gaps, or even around pipes and AC unit. Walk the perimeter around and inside your restaurant and look for entry points. Sealing these can significantly lower the likelihood of pests settling in your space.

Effective Pest Management

Every restaurant should regularly inspect their premises and implement a detailed pest management plan. This wards off not just cockroaches, but rats, flies, ants and other pests as well.

Talk to your pest control service, they probably have some MMS approaches together. They will design a plan for your establishment that works best for you, and guarantee that your restaurant remains free of pests so that your customers can return for the experience you provide.

Stay clean, stay alert, and here’s to keeping our restaurant a happy and healthy place for all!
