Running a restaurant, cafe, or food processing facility in Malaysia means more than just serving good food – it also means maintaining top hygiene standards. Pests like cockroaches, rats, and flies are a constant threat in the F&B industry, and an infestation can quickly ruin your business reputation. That’s why effective pest control is not just important – it’s absolutely essential.
Common Pests in F&B Premises
In the food and beverage sector, the most common pests include:
Cockroaches: Attracted to leftover food, water sources, and dark hiding spots.
Rats and Mice: These rodents chew through packaging and spread diseases.
Flies: Especially common near trash bins and food preparation areas.
Ants: Small but persistent, especially when sugary items are present.
Stored Product Pests: Such as weevils or beetles that contaminate dry goods.
Pests aren’t just annoying – they can lead to serious consequences, including:
Health Hazards: Pests can carry harmful bacteria and viruses that contaminate food.
Failed Health Inspections: A single infestation can result in poor grades or closure.
Damage to Reputation: Bad reviews and social media posts spread fast.
Financial Loss: Business interruptions, penalties, and product waste can be costly.
