How do you prevent cockroaches in hospitality businesses?
Preventing cockroaches is much easier than getting rid of them. These habits significantly reduce the risk.
Check deliveries
Cockroaches often enter in boxes and crates. Check deliveries and do not unpack them in the kitchen.
Keep it dry and clean
Repair leaks, clean behind appliances and do not leave dirty dishes or waste overnight.
Seal gaps
Gaps around pipes, skirting boards and equipment are ideal hiding places. Seal them.
Monitor
Monitoring points help you spot a problem early, before it becomes an infestation.
Sources and further information
General information, not a diagnosis for your location. Have the species identified if in doubt. Consult a healthcare professional about health symptoms and do not use pesticides without appropriate instructions.
