For a New York restaurant, a pest sighting isn't just unpleasant — it's a Department of Health violation, a lost letter grade, and a reputation hit that shows up in reviews. Roaches, drain flies and rodents are the usual culprits, and they thrive on the food, moisture and warmth a busy kitchen provides.
We run discreet, scheduled programmes designed around DOH expectations: monitoring, exclusion, drain and harbourage treatment, and documentation of every visit so you have the records an inspector wants to see. Service is timed around your hours — customers never know we were there.
Whether you're prepping for an inspection, recovering from a violation, or want to stay ahead year-round, we build the programme around your kitchen and your risk.
Signs you have a restaurant pest control problem
- Any roach, fly or rodent sighting in a prep or service area
- A recent or upcoming DOH inspection
- Drain flies around floor drains or under equipment
- A previous provider who never fully resolved the problem
Why Upper East Side sees this
NYC restaurants live and die by their DOH letter grade — drain flies and roach evidence are among the most common violations, and we treat them at the source.
We coordinate multi-tenant buildings so pests can't migrate from a neighbouring unit into your kitchen.
