Downtown Seattle Restaurant Battling Rat Infestation
Seattle chef spots a rat:
A high end restaurant in downtown Seattle was closing up late at night. The
top chef noticed something run by like a bat out of hell. The chef was in a
hurry to leave and left one of the cooks in charge of cleaning the kitchen.
Oh and informed the cook something was in the room. The cook got so
stressed because of what might be a rat that the manager was notified
immediately. One of the other cooks saw a second sighting and this time
definitely identified the pest as a rat. The restaurant manager took
immediate action and called a pest control exterminator. Rat infestation at
the restaurant could do so much damage.
Who to call for professional pest rat eliminators:
Just a few days earlier a friend recommended a pest control business for
possible monthly prevention services. The colleague, a nearby business
owner, just got rid of rats by AMPM Exterminators. A Greater Seattle area
business that provides professional and thorough services and so the call
was made. Early the next morning the technician arrived and begun the first
step of a perimeter check of the restaurant. Looking for holes, cracks and
crevices where the rodents could be getting into the premises. Rats can
access all openings the size of a quarter. The nasty pests are diehards
and will keep searching to find a way into the building. Rats are most
definitely food magnets.
AMPM Exterminators pest control eliminator found the entry points:
A rat invasion can be due to many things. But the main reasons for rats to
work so hard to get inside is for an opening to get to food and water. The
rats job is year round looking for a safe haven. The downtown Seattle
restaurant’s perimeter check told the whole story. The restaurant became
infested with the nasty rats due to the holes found during the perimeter
check by AMPM Exterminators technician. The priority was to seal up all
openings to prevent the rats and other pests from accessing the restaurant.
Once the rats got indoors many inviting areas were there to explore:
The AMPM Exterminators rat infestation specialist found many reasons
conducive to a rat infestation. Nameky, uncovered food was left out on
counters. Dirty stoves, produce bins left on the floor and cardboard boxes
with leftover fresh produce. When the pest eliminator arrived he saw the
back door was propped open for ventilation. A huge invitation for the rats
to scurry in unnoticed from the alley. Also there were overflowing open
garbage bins in the alley. Far too many food service violations could be a
result of this rat infestation. The owner could lose in so many ways.
Unfortunately the employees were not practicing proper and required
sanitation habits. Also the maintenance crew were not doing perimeter
checks of the structure.
Is prevention services for rat control really helpful:
This downtown restaurant’s success would dependent on following prevention
measures once the rest infestation service was done. Keeping customers
happy with excellent service and delicious food is the goal. But more
importantly keeping a pest free establishment is equally a must. Signing up
for professional continuous services is very important to consider. The
professional eliminator explained the contents of all types of maintenance
programs offered by AMPM Exterminators. An annual check will be for any
signs of infestations during each of the four seasons. All during the year
the rats are always seeking shelter, food, and water. It is highly
recommended to schedule monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly services. A
prevention program of pest control services will be beneficial to prevent
the loss of income for the restaurant.
How can the restaurant owner keep rats away:
AMPM Exterminator got rid of the rat infestation successfully. The owner
agreed to monthly maintenance inspections, updating sanitation practices
and using tailor made recurring treatments. Checking bait traps often is a
necessity. The Pest Control Eliminator emphasized the fact that the owner
and manager follow the highly recommended prevention system for taking
stringent precautions to prevent serious rodent problems. The employees
had to be instructed on the prevention measures and held accountable for
check off lists of daily cleaning practices. Rats carry disease, mites,
created airborne germs, leave behind urine and feces. Can cause damage to
a building. Without the bottom dollar there is no restaurant.
