Pest control for hospitality.

In hospitality, one mouse in the establishment is one too many. We keep kitchens, bars and terraces free of pests — discreetly, according to HACCP and with a digital logbook that passes every inspection.

We work exclusively for businesses.

The business risks

What pests mean for your organisation:

Reputational and revenue damage after a visible incident
NVWA measures when pests are found in the kitchen
Contamination of stock and preparations

Pest problems in hospitality

Hospitality businesses are attractive to pests: there is food, warmth and water, and the flow of goods is continuous. Mice and rats enter through gaps and loading docks, cockroaches travel along with deliveries, fruit flies arise around the bar and the washing area, and flies and wasps threaten terrace and kitchen in summer.

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) enforces food safety strictly; pests in the kitchen can lead to measures and reputational damage that goes beyond the kitchen itself.

The business risks

A guest who sees a mouse or cockroach spreads the word — on Google, on social media, to friends. The damage to your name is often greater than the cost of control. In addition, the NVWA can impose measures when pests are found, up to closure.

In hospitality, prevention is therefore not a cost item but insurance for your turnover and reputation.

Our approach for hospitality

We work according to IPM: first prevent, then monitor, and only control where necessary. That means proofing entry points, fixed measuring points in kitchen, storage and bar, periodic checks outside peak hours and immediate deployment in case of an incident.

We record everything in a digital logbook with inspection reports, floor plan and action list — exactly the documents you need to show during an NVWA inspection or HACCP audit.

Prevention in your sector

  • Proofing of gaps, doors and loading docks
  • Measuring points in kitchen, storage and bar with periodic checks
  • Hygiene and storage advice for staff
  • Rapid incident response, discreet and outside peak hours

Frequently asked questions

Is pest management mandatory in hospitality?

HACCP rules require you to control food safety, and pest management is part of that. A professional contract with a logbook is the practical way to secure and prove that.

Can you work without guests noticing?

Yes. We schedule checks outside peak hours and our resources are placed discreetly. In case of an incident we come quickly and unobtrusively.

What if the NVWA visits?

With our digital logbook you directly show the risk assessment, checks and measures. That is exactly what an inspector wants to see.
