Multi-Pest Risks in Commercial Kitchens (Hazlemere HP15)
Rats, cockroaches and stored-product pests thrive where there’s warmth, food and water. If you run a restaurant, café, pub or takeaway in Hazlemere (HP15), here’s how we keep your kitchen compliant—and open.
Why Kitchens Attract Multiple Pests
- Food & water: prep scraps, drip trays, leaky pipework and mop sinks.
- Harbourage: voids behind kickboards, under units and in cable/pipe chases.
- Night-time quiet: pests explore routes when staff leave.
- Shared waste: bin stores and drains bring in pests from outside.
Red Flags EHOs Notice
- Droppings, smear marks and gnawing on kickboards or packaging
- Live/dead roaches, egg cases, pepper-like specks under equipment
- Unlidded bins, food debris under line equipment, poor sealing to walls/floors
- No bait map, missing service records, ad-hoc DIY treatments
Our Commercial Plan (Fast, Discreet, Documented)
- Audit: activity map, harbourage list, hygiene/structural faults.
- Knock-down: targeted trapping and/or tamper-resistant placements; roach gels/monitors where appropriate.
- Proofing: seal pipe chases and kickboard gaps, fit rodent-proof vent guards and door thresholds.
- Drain protection: trace/CCTV and install stainless rat blockers to stop sewer ingress.
- Sanitation: HEPA vacuuming, biocidal treatment, odour neutralisation.
- HACCP docs: site plan, bait map, COSHH, visit reports—ready for EHO.

FAQs
Can you attend after closing?
Yes—most commercial work is out-of-hours to avoid disruption and protect your reputation.
Is baiting safe around food areas?
We use tamper-resistant stations and non-repellent roach gels; where bait isn’t suitable, we use traps and proofing.
How do you prevent sewer rats?
We trace the line and install a stainless non-return valve (rat blocker) to stop re-entry via drains.
Will I get HACCP/EHO documentation?
Yes—site plan, bait map, COSHH and visit reports are kept in your file and updated each visit.
Do you offer contracts?
Yes—flexible monthly plans with monitoring, trend analysis and scheduled proofing checks.
