Pest activity in a restaurant, café, pub or commercial kitchen needs to be dealt with quickly and professionally.
KO Pest Control provides restaurant pest control in Taunton and across Somerset, helping food businesses control pests, identify potential entry points and maintain effective pest management systems.
We provide both one-off pest treatments and ongoing commercial pest control contracts, depending on the needs of your business.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens can provide pests with everything they need: food, warmth, water and shelter.
Even well-managed premises can experience pest problems. Rodents may enter through drainage systems, structural gaps or service penetrations, while flying and crawling insects can enter through deliveries, doors, windows or contaminated products.
We provide pest control for:
Restaurants
Pubs and bars

Our aim is not simply to treat visible activity, but to investigate why the pest problem has developed and where possible, quickly resolve it .
Rats can gain access to food premises through surprisingly small structural defects, damaged drainage systems, service ducts and external areas.
Where rat activity is identified, we investigate the premises, carry out appropriate control measures and assess potential routes of entry.
Commercial kitchens and food storage areas can provide ideal conditions for mice.
Signs can include droppings, damaged packaging, gnawing, sightings and contamination around food preparation or storage areas.
Cockroaches can be particularly problematic within warm commercial kitchens and food premises.
Effective cockroach control may require monitoring and targeted treatment of harbourage areas, together with good hygiene and an ongoing assessment.
Persistent fly activity can originate from waste areas, drains, food debris and other breeding sources.
Correct identification is important because different species may require different methods of control.
Stored foods including flour, cereals, grains and other dry products can become affected by moths and other stored-product insects.
Locating and removing the source of an infestation can be an important part of successful treatment.
locating the pests is only part of the investigation.
Where appropriate, we can inspect areas including kitchens, food stores, cellars, waste areas, roof spaces, service penetrations, drainage-related areas and the exterior of the building.
Our technicians are well equipped to locate and identify pest activity, no matter how minimal it may be.
For food businesses requiring continued protection, KO Pest Control can provide ongoing commercial pest management in Taunton.
Regular pest control visits allow monitoring points and vulnerable areas to be inspected over time rather than relying solely on action after a pest has been seen. we believe in prevention rather than reaction.
Pest control within food premises often involves more than treatments alone.
Structural defects, damaged doors, gaps around pipes, drainage issues, poor waste management and inaccessible food debris can all contribute to pest activity.
Where relevant, we can identify potential improvements and provide pest proofing and hygiene services to help address and manage these underlying issues.
We understand that pest problems can be particularly sensitive for restaurants and hospitality businesses.
Our pest control work is carried out professionally and with consideration for customers, staff and the day-to-day operation of the premises.
If you suspect pest activity, dealing with it at an early stage can also make investigation and control considerably more effective.
