How Often Should a Restaurant Have Pest Control?
Short answer
Many restaurants do well with a regular schedule set after the first inspection, often monthly, with extra visits after any sighting and quarterly reviews of the program. Higher risk kitchens may need more frequent service.
What sets the schedule
- Size and type of the kitchen
- Age and condition of the building
- Neighbors and alley conditions
- History of problems and past inspections
What each visit covers
Inspection of kitchen, dry storage, drains and dumpsters, device checks and written findings.
What this means in Omaha
Restaurants in the Old Market, Blackstone, Benson and Dundee, and in shared buildings elsewhere, need closer attention because pests move between neighbors.
