Catering Businesses in Visp Need Mechanical Ventilation
If you run a restaurant, hotel or cafe in Visp, you may only know Art. 44 of the building and zoning regulations from the building permit application. It requires the operating rooms of catering businesses to be fitted with mechanical ventilation and extraction. If the business serves food, it also needs a suitable kitchen.
As a pest controller, what interests me about these systems are the ducts, wall and ceiling penetrations, extractor hoods and ceiling voids that belong to each business. Cockroaches like to hide in warm gaps, which are often grease-laden and hard to reach. Gaps around penetrations can serve mice as a route between rooms and floors.
The Ventilation System First, Then the Rest of the Rooms
At a catering business in Visp, I therefore start the property assessment with the ventilation system. I check penetrations, supply and extract grilles, the area around the hoods and the inspection openings before I look at the rest of the rooms. Once I have identified the species, I set glue traps along the duct run. I seal any gaps I find around the penetrations after treatment.
For businesses with hygiene requirements, I recommend ongoing pest monitoring afterwards, so the ventilation system checks stay on record. If insects are also flying through the kitchen, tight-fitting insect screens for kitchen windows can help.
How I Assess a Catering Business in Visp
Look at the Ventilation First
I look at penetrations, grilles, the area around the hoods and inspection openings before checking the rest of the business.
Identify the Species, Treat It Directly
I identify the pest species and treat it directly, as gently as possible.
Glue Traps Along the Ducts
I set monitoring points along the ventilation ducts. I bring the material for this directly to the business in my vehicle.
Sealing the Penetrations
I seal any gaps I find around the penetrations after the treatment.
