Business Pests That Annoy Customers
There are a few pests that upset customers. An example would be seeing a cockroach at a restaurant. Another example might be birds at a home building supply store. This blog covers several pests that annoy customers.
1 Flies
Outdoor dining is all the rage until the flies show up to join in the fun. Flies are a common pest when you are outdoors, but not at a restaurant, cafe, or food truck.
2 Wasp
Wasps love food and especially if it is your food. However, some people are terrified of wasps. Others are highly allergic to wasp stings. Wasps, especially yellowjackets, can be very aggressive.
3 Rodents
Certain types of businesses attract rodents. Those that deal with food are an example. It may not be an actual mouse or rat sighting that upsets customers, but the fecal pellets that rodents leave behind. Restaurants are one type of business that attracts rodents, but you can also find them in department stores and other types of businesses where customers may encounter the rodent or the signs it was there.
4 Stray Animals
There is a sadness that many people feel when they see stray animals, especially if they are unable to help. Stray’s tug on our heartstrings and cause guilt. They can also be a sign of dirty conditions, disease, and even danger.
5 Ants
Anywhere you serve food or beverages, you are likely to find ants. Nothing spoils the soup like an ant. Ants on the table in restaurants can cause customers to get up and walk out the door. If you have ever accidentally eaten an ant, they don’t taste good. People are less likely to buy food if ants are present.
