Protect Your Restaurant's Reputation

Philadelphia's restaurant scene spans from the legendary cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches of South Philly to the James Beard-nominated fine dining of Rittenhouse Square and the innovative BYOBs of East Passyunk. With more than 3,000 restaurants citywide, the competition for customers is fierce — and a single pest sighting can undo years of reputation building.

German cockroaches are the #1 threat to Philadelphia restaurants. They breed rapidly in the warm, moist conditions of commercial kitchens and can contaminate food preparation surfaces with bacteria including Salmonella and E. coli. Norway rats exploit the dense alley system and dumpster access that characterize Philadelphia's commercial corridors, particularly along Frankford Avenue in Fishtown, the Avenue of the Arts in Center City, and the restaurant rows of East Passyunk.

Our restaurant IPM program is built around the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's inspection standards. We know what inspectors look for — evidence of rodent activity, live cockroaches, flying insects near food prep areas, and gaps in building envelopes — and our program proactively addresses each category. Monthly service visits are scheduled before opening or after closing to ensure zero disruption to your operations.
