They can contaminate food or kitchen surfaces and cause serious food poisoning among customers. Commissioning in regular pest control can help keep your food safe and customers happy.
Here are some reasons why pest control management in the food industry is a must.

- Online Shame
Saves Money
It Saves Money in the Long RunPests can damage your business's stock, equipment, and even building. Prevention and early action to control pest activity are always cheaper than fixing a full-blown infestation.

Call in the Experts
DIY pest control looks easy and cheap in the short run.
However, such methods in commercial food processing plants or restaurants are risky. They can harm staff or end up costing more than hiring proper pest control services.
You may cause more problems for your business in the long run. A licensed pest control expert knows the right methods to keep your establishment safe and compliant.

Our F&B Pest Control Process
At Pest Free, we deliver certified pest control results for restaurants, cafés, and central kitchens. Our three-step treatment process includes:
Inspection
We first perform an inspection of your establishment to identify pest hotspots. Our NEA-certified technician will also check your kitchen, storage, trash zones, ceilings and plumbing areas for possible entry points of pests.
Customised Pest Management Plan
Based on the inspection report, we recommend a suitable pest control program for your specific food industry. We use a combination of mechanical, exclusion, baiting, or spraying methods to remove pests.
Execution
The next step in our process is using NEA-approved chemicals with targeted traps, baits, and insect light traps. We use non-toxic and food-safe treatment options for all F&B establishments to comply with government regulations.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Finally, we schedule regular visits to monitor and update pest activity. Our team can recommend the number of visits required monthly or quarterly, as required. We also provide guidance to prevent future infestations.
