Can cockroaches at a restaurant ever be a good sign? I mean are

ALL restaurants attract cockroaches. It's just the natural state of things. The big difference is that good restaurants have regularly scheduled pest control services that come on a consistent basis, so it's kept in check. While shittier restaurants wait until there is a problem before calling in someone.

In my experience BoH the biggest pest was always mice (and flies if it was Summer and someone decided to prop the back door open).

Honestly never had too much of a cockroach problem anywhere I've worked, but I'm sure the climate/area makes a huge difference.

>all restaurants
do you think cockroaches are a global phenomenon pedro? there are no cockroaches in first world countries.

You're an idiot. Every country in the world has cockroaches.

>>7922699
Yes, they are a global insect species, fucktard.

Colder climates are less likely to have roaches, but they are found worldwide. Cold climate countries are more likely to have issues with rodents, lice, worms, weevils, and those types of crawlies.

This. You have to spend money proactively for designing your place too, to higher standards, not some converted building with slapped in appliances. This is partly why a lot of chains build their own buildings.
Expensive plumbing with functioning traps, with the right kind of maintenance keep bugs from coming up the drains and into living space, too. Very frequent garbage renewal, double bagged refuse, also $$ prevents the flies and maggot cycle of life from happening. Caulking in all cracks everywhere from ants to roaches to even rodents so they can't enter a building ever for any reason and find it hospitable to hide. Never having a crumb be unattended overnight. Scrubbing and disinfecting of surfaces. Basically a lot of effort to keep food sealed, airtight, and everything clean all the time.

A place that has limited closed hours tends to have the most trouble. 24/7 spells disaster for hygiene, because no one wants to ever smell bleach or have floors literally hosed down.

How to pesticides even kill roaches, I went to a friends place and put something in the microwave to warm up, without realizing he had a roach problem, and when I opened up the microwave I saw baby roaches hopping around. How did they survive the microwave nuclear rays?

I live in south eastern Wisconsin and haven't seen one (outside of the zoo) either, I can't say I'm upset.

I'm from Northern Ohio and had never seen one until I left my god-awful state and moved to a city. They're there, but its possible you just haven't seen one if you live in a clean home, especially if your town isnt large
