The Most Common Pest Problems in Café

The potential risks and hazards of pests in your café are endless. If a customer spots a cockroach crawling around and posts about it on social media, you risk losing potential customers. No diner will want to spend time in a café with rodent droppings or buzzing flies. And while a bad reputation can lead to significant revenue losses, it is far from the worst risks of pests in a café.

The common housefly directly transmits over 60 diseases, including typhoid, dysentery, leprosy, tuberculosis, and cholera. Experts agree that housefly-borne diseases are responsible for more deaths than all wars combined. These nasty pests prefer to feed on rotting organic waste, rubbish bins, and feces, where they collect many harmful bacteria and pathogens.

Because they don’t have teeth, flies don’t eat food like other insects. Instead, they regurgitate digestive juices on your food to break down the solids. They then suck up the like liquid-like meal using their proboscis. In addition, flies taste food using their dirty feet, meaning the risk of cross-contamination from the previous food source is very high.

Ants are mostly considered annoying invaders. However, this little crawlies can wreak havoc in your café when left to run amok. Albeit small, ants can pose serious health threats that can lead to your café being shut down. Ants carry and spread harmful bacteria like salmonella streptococcus and staphylococcus. Some ant species, like carpenter ants, can also cause severe structural damage to your café by excavating tunnels in wood to make nests.

Rats and mice can be very distressing when they infest your café. These awkwardly cute invaders carry and transmit over 35 deadly diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For instance, they can spread hantavirus, salmonella, and meningitis, which cause serious complications, especially in pregnant women.

Rodents can also cause severe property damage by constantly gnawing and chewing electrical wiring and other appliances. You can’t simply ignore the possibility of a rodent infestation in your café.
