Our inspectors will be able to make recommendations based on your property’s needs once they do a comprehensive inspection of the building. Pest control specialists are highly trained in how to inspect and monitor for a variety of common pests. Our teams seek to locate pest infestations as quickly as possible, and develop a treatment strategy to mitigate any sign of infestation.

The strategies that may be recommended for multi-family homes or apartment complexes, include:

  • Exclusion (preventing pests from entering through vents or visible holes)
  • Trapping
  • Baiting
  • Dusting
  • Vacuuming
  • Heating
  • Sanitizing

The frequency of pest control inspections can depend on the history of the apartment complex, surrounding area pest pressures, and ongoing treatments. That said, when you see pests, it’s best to have an inspection to ensure proper treatment is taken.

This depends on the property. Start by speaking with your landlord or manager if you believe there’s a problem. Not only will they want to know of any infestation, but they may want to do a broader audit and inspection based on the size of your building and the perceived severity of the problem. Property managers may already have ongoing programs with an inspection company to monitor for issues.

Start by speaking with your landlord or property manager before calling a pest control company to treat your apartment. It’s possible that they’re aware of a situation and may be willing to cover it as part of your lease. They may also have contracts with a pest control company that can quickly address the situation.

This truly depends on the situation, but apartments are required to be habitable, and some pest infestations can quickly make apartments unliveable. If you see a pest infestation in your apartment building, please speak with your landlord or property manager.

Thorn pricing for pest control varies by the type of pest issue, but we’d be happy to help scope costs for you over the phone or through a proactive inspection. Contact us for an estimate today.

Pest management in the food industry is paramount. Thorn’s proactive pest control services include sanitation, trapping, eliminating harborages, monitoring, vacuuming, baiting, and possibly crack-and-crevice treatments, though pesticides are never applied while food is in production.

There are pesticide products that are not labeled for use in food areas, and the pest control experts at Thorn will be able to help you determine which treatment solutions are explicitly safe to be used in your facility.

Our experts are always happy to answer questions and provide humane, non-toxic recommendations for pest management in a food processing facility.

Pest control is an integral part of food safety. An infestation of cockroaches, mice, or flies can contaminate food and put your business at risk of being shut down. Pests must not be tolerated in a restaurant, and a well designed pest control program is imperative to monitoring the possibility of an infestation.

Restaurants can control pests through a variety of methods, including:

  • Exclusion: This means preventing them from entering through vents or open doorways
  • Sanitization:Restaurants can avoid pests by properly sanitizing both indoors and out to discourage pests from coming closer to the building
  • Monitoring:By proactively monitoring storage areas, restaurants can prevent an infestation of certain pests.

If, despite your best efforts, you’re dealing with an infestation, then reaching out to an experienced pest control company is your best bet. Thorn provides rodent and stored product pest control for businesses in Utah. We understand the importance of keeping your store both safe and sanitary, which is why we don’t actively use pesticides in restaurants.

Instead, we prefer to work closely with every business to manage and prevent infestations. Contact us for fast service today.

The frequency with which you should hire pest control services in restaurants depends on the overall risk. Restaurants with heavy pest pressure may need pest services more frequently than those with rare or occasional situations. Thorn recommends monthly inspections for many commercial establishments, but weekly or every other week is ideal for venues that serve food.

Restaurant pest control almost always requires hiring the pros. An experienced pest control company like Thorn will provide an assessment and the offer the following rodent control solutions to mitigate the problem:

  • Take steps for exclusion
  • Offer sanitation solutions
  • Make recommendations for trapping in the right spots,
  • Create pre-baiting traps
  • Remove harborages

To keep pests out of restaurants, avoid attracting them with easy food access or offering easy opportunities to access your establishment. Employees must be coached on best practices to aid in preventative measures and understand the impact of having pests in a restaurant.

It’s best if you install well sealed doors and keep them shut (not propped open). Keep your dumpster area clean, employ good sanitation practices indoors and out, clean drains, and encourage staff to report any pest issues so pests can be managed quickly, efficiently, and discreetly.

We create effective programs that include:

  • Detailed inspections
  • Clear and detailed reporting
  • Proactive vs reactive approach
  • Focus on non-chemical control methods
