This Pest Walkaround checklist helps hospitality teams quickly identify pest activity and risks across restaurants, cafes, bars, and kitchens. Inspect for live or dead pests and droppings; check for gnawed packaging and nesting; and assess structural defenses such as sealed gaps, intact tiles, door seals, and functioning drains. Verify cleanliness practices including rubbish storage, mop and floor hygiene, and standing water. Review the latest pest control report and confirm corrective actions are completed. Use this template for routine walkarounds to document findings, capture photos, assign follow-ups, and keep your venue compliant and safe to trade.

Weekly Pest Walk Checklist for Restaurants
This weekly pest walk checklist helps restaurant teams quickly spot and prevent pest issues. Review recent pest reports and confirm corrective actions. Conduct a 15 minute walk through all areas to look for live or dead pests, droppings, gnawed packaging, nesting, and entry points. Verify required bait stations are present. Check structure for holes, gaps, broken tiles, door seals, and proper drainage. Maintain cleanliness by managing trash, emptying and rinsing mop buckets, cleaning floors under and behind equipment, removing standing water, and sanitizing food preparation surfaces. Finally, review the latest pest report and close out any remaining action points.
