Why Umhlanga Restaurants Need Regular Pest Control

Umhlanga has one of the busiest restaurant scenes in Durban, and restaurant kitchens offer pests everything they need.

  • Malls and centres Kitchens in Gateway and the Ridge centres share drains and refuse areas with their neighbours.
  • Heat and moisture Kitchens stay warm and damp around the clock.
  • Deliveries Stock can carry cockroaches in.

Day-to-Day Habits That Keep Umhlanga Kitchens Pest-Free

Environmental health practitioners inspect food premises against the R638 hygiene regulations. Regular treatment helps, but daily habits in the kitchen matter just as much.

  • Clean under and behind equipment Fryers, fridges and stoves collect grease and food where cockroaches breed. Pull them out on a regular schedule.
  • Check deliveries Look over stock and packaging as it comes in, and get cardboard out of the kitchen quickly.
  • Keep drains clean Floor drains and grease traps attract American cockroaches and flies. Clean and flush them regularly.
  • Close up after service Keep back doors shut, fit door brushes and keep bin lids closed overnight.
  • Keep records on site Store your pest control reports where you can show an inspector quickly.

Staff who know what to look for spot a problem long before a customer does.
