Rodent problems might lead any business, and not just in the foodservice industry, to serious trouble, starting with the health of the employees, guests' complaints, bacteria and even in some of the worse cases, to the closing of the business. It may seem unimportant in comparison with more urgent issues, but once a rodent problem starts, it quickly escalates when left unattended. Though the problems such a thing causes are many and varied, here are three of the main ones that speak volumes about its importance.
It May Lead to Guests' Disapproval
No matter what kind of business you're running, the opinion and satisfaction of your guests and customers is one of the main influencers on your ongoing business activity. You should probably want to consider what might happen the day your customers realize that rodents entered your business, now call it home, and with quite admirable consistency go about contaminating the place. Let us clarify it – it won't be good for business.
Your Employees Getting Sick
If your business, and it can be a store, a restaurant, a factory, an office, etc., is not rodent proofed, it means that rodents can enter your facilities at any given time, leading to contamination and bacteria growing all over the place. Now, that may result in some of your employees catching any number of disease these rodents carry, which may expose your business to even more severe complications, such as failure to pass the health department's inspection or simply failure to meet customers' demands due to an understaffed office.
Failing the Health Department's Inspection
Having rodents and as a result also bacteria contamination at your business, may bring about the end of your professional road. It will start with a slight, nearly undetectable smell, evolve to illness and disease, and one day, the health department's inspector will walk in (probably because someone complained about your business), and once they'll complete their examination, you'll have no business to come back to the next morning, not to mention high fines to pay. This is, undoubtedly, too high of a risk to take.
