Pest Control Solutions for Twin Cities Restaurants: What You Need to Know
Running a restaurant in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is no small feat. With strict health codes, tight margins, and demanding customers, there’s no room for pests. One rodent sighting or a cockroach in the kitchen can damage your reputation and put your license at risk.
At Be There Pest Control, we specialize in discreet, effective solutions tailored for food service environments. Here’s what Twin Cities restaurant owners and managers need to know.
Why Restaurants Are High-Risk for Pest Problems
Abundant food and water sources
Warmth and shelter year-round
Frequent deliveries that can introduce pests
Hard-to-reach hiding spots behind equipment
Even the cleanest restaurant can have pest issues if preventive steps aren’t taken.
Common Pests in Twin Cities Restaurants
Cockroaches: Thrive in kitchens, under sinks, and near hot equipment
Rodents: Enter through small gaps, especially in winter
Flies: Attracted to grease traps, drains, and produce
Ants: Often invade bars, prep areas, and dishwashing stations
Stored product pests: Infest grains, flour, and dry goods
What a Pest Control Plan Should Include
1. Regular Inspections
Monthly or bi-monthly inspections help detect issues early before they reach customers or health inspectors.
2. Targeted, Food-Safe Treatments
We use only products approved for use in commercial kitchens, applied with extreme care to protect staff, food, and surfaces.
3. Documentation for Compliance
We provide clear reports and documentation to support health department visits and inspections.
4. Exclusion & Sanitation Guidance
We’ll help you identify structural or sanitation gaps that attract pests—from leaky pipes to uncovered floor drains.
Don’t Wait Until There’s a Violation
Proactive pest control is easier, safer, and more affordable than trying to fix an infestation after it’s visible. With Be There Pest Control, you get reliable service, quick response times, and a partner that understands your industry.
