Commercial Fly Control for Cafés, Restaurants & Food Prep
Fly control is business-critical for NZ food businesses. Here's the compliant, chemical-free approach using UV-tough reusable traps.
Flies cost NZ food businesses
For cafés, restaurants, bakeries and food-prep operations, flies aren't just a nuisance — they're a food-safety and reputation risk. One fly in a customer's view can undo a great review. Here's how NZ food businesses get on top of flies, compliantly.
The commercial fly control plan
1. Zone your traps
- Perimeter: outdoor traps 10–15m from the building, near bins.
- Back of house: one trap near the kitchen entry, never over prep surfaces.
- Front of house: avoid food areas — exclusion and screens instead.
2. Go chemical-free
In food prep, sprays and chemical baits are a liability. The GotchaPest Reusable Fly Trap uses household bait — safe, effective and audit-friendly.
3. Log and prove it
Use the GotchaPest app to log trap catches and inspections. The data trail supports your food safety programme and shows due diligence.
