Finding rats in your restaurant can quickly turn your reputation to ruins. Just one rodent sighting can trigger health code violations, customer complaints, and permanently tarnish your brand.

Rats Can Shut Your Restaurant Down
Rats in your restaurant jeopardise your reputation and the well-being of your business. Just one rat sighting can trigger health code violations and inspection failure. Rats also carry dangerous pathogens that can contaminate surfaces and spread to dining areas.
If customers spot evidence of rats, they will likely share the negative experience online and with friends, causing your popularity and sales to plummet rapidly. Beyond reputation risks, rats also inflict immense structural damage by gnawing and nesting. Their strong teeth allow them to chew through walls, wires, and critical infrastructure, requiring expensive repairs.

Signs of Rats in Your Restaurant
Catching evidence early is key to effective restaurant rat control. Don’t dismiss minor signs or assume it’s a one-time issue.
If you suspect rats may have infested your restaurant, look for these common signs of activity:
Droppings
Clumped, rice-sized dark droppings are the most obvious indicator. Check secluded areas like storage rooms.
Gnaw marks
Rats leave teeth marks by chewing on wood, drywall, wiring, trash cans, etc. Look along walls and in closets.
Rub marks
Rats leave greasy rub marks from brushing along frequently travelled routes. Inspect walls near floor level.
Burrows
External holes or excavated dirt areas may indicate underground burrow nesting areas near your building.
Tracks
Footprints in dust may reveal paths rats use to move around your restaurant.
Strange sounds
Listen for scurrying in walls, squeaks, or rustling at night when rats are most active.
Damaged food packages
Watch for ripped bags, boxes, or food containers accessed by rats. Inspect deliveries carefully.
Rats spotted
Seeing live rats is a clear infestation sign. Note where in your facility they were visible.
