How to Get Rid of Rats in a Restaurant
Rats in a restaurant
Rats in a restaurant is a problem for many reasons, mostly related to the sanitation of the area, health of employees and diners, and don't forget about passing health inspection! If you think you are sharing your restaurant
with these disease-ridden rodents you need to go into offensive mode immediately. The longer a rat remains in your kitchen or dining area, the more feces and urine deposits will be left behind by the rodent. Most communicable
diseases from rats come from their droppings. To eliminate rats, block off the entry holes into the home. You do not want any more rats entering the building during or after the trapping process. Sealing in the current rats won’t cause any issues and will make them easier to trap. After the rats are confined to the home, look for the areas where they seem to spend most of their time. This type of location will have gnaw marks, droppings, marks from their body grease, or urine marks. Rats use this type of messy marking system to indicate where it is safe to travel and to lure in new rats from the outside. When all the rats have been trapped, the next step in the process will be to clean up the area of the home that has been affected. Because of the pheromones and attractants in rat waste and on the bodies themselves, prompt cleaning is a must.
The power supply behind the restaurant stoves is the most common entry place. Seal this shut with a metal plate. Then you still have to solve the problem of
rats getting into the restaurant building.
How to kill rat in a restaurant
A lone rat in a restaurant is a precursor for bigger problems. If the rodent has just wandered in, see if you can chase it from the home and out the door. A rat that has not yet established a territory will not have any secret openings to rush into. No matter what the reason or the length of time spent within the home, seeing a rat means that one managed to get inside through the exterior of the building. Before you can kill a rat in the house, you need to find the holes and plug them. Plugging a rat holes does not mean shoving a rag or piece of foam into the opening. Rats will easily chew through and remove such instable barriers. Once the exterior breaches are fixed, you can work towards trapping and removing any rats inside the home. To kill a rat in the house, use a snap trap. Trapping is best done in areas where the rodent has been seen or where evidence of its passing is noted. Rats will leave droppings and urine puddles along their routes of travel. Look for places that have been so marked and set up the snap traps there.
