Prevention guide

Practical kitchen hygiene and food storage

Kitchens concentrate everything pests need. A few reliable habits remove most of what sustains activity in domestic and commercial kitchens alike.

Store food so nothing is available

Transfer opened dry goods into sealed containers rather than leaving them in packets. Wipe up crumbs and spills promptly, including inside cupboards, behind appliances and under sinks.

Deal with waste daily

Waste is a standing invitation. Use bins with lids, empty them at the end of the day, and keep the waste area outside away from walls and doors where possible.

Keep the space dry

Fix dripping taps and leaks, and dry out areas under sinks and behind equipment. Moisture is the single condition most often left unaddressed.
