Pest control for food and hospitality in Perth
Pest management for restaurants, cafes and food businesses, aligned to the Food Act 2008 (WA) and HACCP principles.
Food and hospitality pest control built for HACCP compliance
Food businesses in WA carry a specific pest control obligation under the Food Act 2008 (WA) and the Food Standards Code, and pest control is treated as part of a HACCP food safety system, not a separate concern. Elite Pest Control provides scheduled treatment and documentation for restaurants, cafes, and other food handling businesses, structured to support an environmental health inspection or audit.

Services for food and hospitality
Cockroaches and rodents cause the most trouble in a commercial kitchen, here's how each one's treated, plus the full pest control picture.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches breed fast, carry disease pathogens including salmonella, and are notoriously hard to fully eliminate once established. Elite Pest Control's German cockroach treatment covers both interior and exterior areas. Restaurants, cafes and other food handling businesses are a particular priority, given the food safety risk.
Rats & Mice
Rats and mice damage buildings, chew through wiring, and spread disease through droppings and contamination. Elite Pest Control treats rodent problems with targeted baiting suited to the species and the property.
Pest Control
Perth's warm climate keeps most common pests active for a large part of the year, and slab homes, paved gardens, and roof void spaces all give pests plenty of places to establish undetected. For businesses, an untreated pest problem can also mean a compliance issue, particularly for food handling, retail, and office environments.
Why it matters for food businesses
Pest activity in a food business isn't just a hygiene issue, it's a direct compliance risk under WA's Food Act 2008 and Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2, which requires effective pest management as part of a food safety program. An undocumented or reactive approach to pest control is exactly what an environmental health officer looks for during an inspection.
Pest control pricing
Commercial pest control for food businesses is priced per site, depending on the size of the kitchen or premises and how often treatment is scheduled. Onsite quoting is obligation free.
What Perth customers say
The inspector arrived on time, was efficient and offered to take shoes off in the house.

We have been with these guys for years, and will be for years. The service has always been good!

Suzanne and the team at Elite Pest Control have been looking after my Wilson property for several years now. I had the Termite Barrier installed a few years ago and all of the technicians are fantastic to deal with for my annual check-up. Thanks again for looking after my home and giving me peace of mind :)

Questions we get asked
Yes. The Food Act 2008 (WA) and Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2 both require food businesses to manage pest risks as part of their food safety obligations. Documented, scheduled pest control supports this requirement.
Yes. Service records and reporting can be provided to support an environmental health inspection or internal audit, showing what treatment has been carried out and when, in a format that lines up with the pest management expectations under the Food Act 2008.
Treatment can be scheduled around trading hours, before opening, after close, or during quieter periods, whichever suits the business. The goal is to keep the kitchen operating without a gap in coverage.
Cockroaches and rodents are the most common concerns in commercial kitchens, since both carry contamination risk and are attracted to food handling and waste areas.
