Our integrated approach to pest management fits well within the food service industry.   McCloud Services recognizes that meeting your pest management needs is critical to the success of your organization, and protecting your brand, image, and reputation requires a technically-superior approach and degree of expertise.  

Whether in the kitchen, the dining room, the dumpster, or the bar area, pests can prevent you from operating a successful restaurant.   McCloud Services' food service program will professionally eliminate pests and prepare your establishment for unannounced inspections, so that you can concentrate on your primary business -- serving your customers.  

Partner with us to address the following issues:

• Infestation which could result in facility closing
• Pest sightings by patrons
• Re-introduced pest problems
• Pesticide resistance
• Poor documentation

Fine Dining, Casual Dining, and Quick Serve establishments have a variety of environments each with their own potential for infestation.   McCloud's style of service enables us to deliver unparalleled pest management service throughout the hospitality market, from the neighborhood sandwich shop, to the most upscale dining establishment.  

Our food service programs begin with a careful inspection of the facility from which we develop a service program that includes prevention strategies and specific actions for correcting problems.   Services may include insect control, rodent control, bio-remediation, in-house sanitation training, building maintenance recommendations, food safety recommendations, and nuisance bird control.
