Fly Control in a Professional Kitchen

• Keep Flies Out of Your Customers Food!

Flies Everywhere

• It seems no matter where you go these days, flies
  tend to follow. Youll find them everywhere, even
  in restaurants and other commercial kitchen
  facilities.
• Unfortunately, this is the absolute worst place
  for flies to appear.

3
Spreading Disease

• While flies themselves are essentially harmless
  creatures, they do have the ability to spread
  disease.
• Put that in a setting where food prep for many is
  the norm, and you have a potential disaster
  waiting to happen.

The Best Tip

• Perhaps the single best way to keep flies out of
  your kitchen is to keep it clean. The cleaner
  your commercial kitchen, the less likely flies
  are to come in initially. This includes offering
  everything a solid cleaning after each service.
• Appliances and counters need to be raised to
  provide for easy cleaning both under and behind
  them. Make certain the dining room is just as
  clean as the kitchen, too.

From the Outside In

• Youll also want to be careful about bringing
  flies in. Given that most of your population will
  likely come in as your customers do, when you
  bring deliveries through the door, or when
  employees come in and out.
• Make certain you have screens to prevent them
  from coming in, and that theyre in good repair.
  You may also want to install two sets of doors,
  offering an added boundary for them to cross.
• You can also set up specialized fans to help blow
  them out the door before they ever come in.

Beware the Patio

• If you have a patio seating area for your guests,
  you could have added trouble. Make certain your
  servers clear any used tables immediately, and if
  you have trash cans on the patio, youll want to
  ensure they have tight fitting lids to keep the
  flies out.

Trash, Trash, Glorious Trash

• Any commercial kitchen has a solid amount of
  trash, and even if the dumpster is located
  several feet from your back door, its likely
  attracting quite a fly population.
• Your best bet is to consult a pest control
  professional to help you deal with the dumpster
  problem.

Ongoing Help

• If your preventative methods dont work for you
  the first time, what do you do next? If you
  choose a pest control professional instead, you
  can bet that any leftover problems you happen to
  have will be covered immediately.
