What happens next
What each visit record shows
A business plan comes with a running record, one entry per visit, kept up by Stu and the team. These are the lines it carries.
Visit record
- Visit date
- The day of the visit, so you can show when the premises were last checked.
- Checked
- Each bait station and every area on your plan: kitchen, storerooms, bins and roof space.
- Found
- Any sign of pests, which pest it was, and how far it had spread.
- Done
- What was treated or put right, and any corrective step taken.
- Next visit
- When the next visit falls on the round you agreed.
Ready for a food-safety officer or an outside auditor who asks how pests are managed.
Before you ring
What changes the cost?
The size of the premises, how many bait stations the plan needs and how often the visits come. Stu walks through it with you and quotes the plan for free.
Can it wait?
When pests turn up, a food business has to get rid of them and deal with any food or equipment they’ve spoiled. A regular round finds the signs before an officer or a customer does.
What happens on the visit?
A walk-through with you: the kitchen, storerooms, bins and roof space. Then bait stations go in where they’re needed, and the visit is written up for your records.
Rats and cockroaches: what Stu usually finds
Rats, mice and cockroaches are what a food business has to keep out, and they’re most of what Stu treats.
Rats and mice
Share of the rodent jobs Stu sees.
Cockroaches
Share of the cockroach jobs Stu sees.
Now and then: Australian cockroaches (under 5% of jobs) and brown-banded (under 3%).

The rules a food business works to
A business on a food control plan or a national programme must make sure regular checks for pests and signs of pests are done, clear away anything that draws them in, and take corrective action when pests turn up: getting rid of them and dealing with any food or equipment they’ve spoiled. On a national programme you also record which pest was found and how far it had spread.
Stu’s visits cover the checking and the treatment, and his write-up of each visit gives you the record. When an officer or an auditor asks how pests are managed, you hand it over.
A pest plan, visit by visit
The first visit
Stu walks the premises with you, finds what’s there and where it comes in, and sets out the bait stations.
The plan
How often he comes, what he checks and where the stations sit, agreed with you and quoted up front.
Regular visits
Timed around your trading hours. Stations checked, signs looked for, anything found treated.
Kept on file
Every visit adds to the file, so the pest side of your food-safety records never falls behind.
Great service. We always use them for flies and cockroaches in the summer months. They are always prompt and the attention to detail is terrific. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
Rats, mice and cockroaches in a working kitchen
In a commercial kitchen the bait stations go where rodents run: along the walls, under the benches and in the dry store, out of the way of staff and stock. Stu checks them every visit and moves them when the activity moves.
Cockroaches follow the warmth. German cockroaches are the restaurant and hotel species, so Stu treats the motors, seals, cracks and drains of a kitchen, where they breed, rather than the floor where staff see them.
Flies, bed bugs and the gap between tenants
Flies round the bins and the outdoor tables: Stu sprays where they land and rest, to bring the numbers right down through the warm months. Bed bugs in a motel room are checked first, then treated room by room.
For property managers, landlords have to hand over a place free of pests at the start of a tenancy, and some arrange a yearly treatment at their own cost as part of the tenancy. Stu treats between tenants and on a schedule.
What customers say
This is our 4th time wime with Owen. I can see a huge difference especially in the amount of flies afterwards. All the dead bugs a few days later aswell. Owen is great and will always make sure to cover stuff that aint covered inside the house. He even lock our cat door so kitty cant come inside afterwards. Thanks!! Will be using again nxt year
Absolutely fantastic service! David and Martin was prompt, professional, and explained everything clearly. They quickly identified the issue and took care of it efficiently, with noticeable results almost immediately. Excellent after-service and support as well. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable and thorough pest control!
