Home maintenance
What pest routine should a Millbrae business keep between service visits?
Keep a log, check deliveries and close the gaps between your suite and the next one. Restaurants and shops along Broadway and El Camino Real share walls and plumbing with their neighbors, and businesses near the Millbrae Intermodal Station see heavy foot traffic and deliveries. A short routine that staff follow and write down gives an inspector and your technician the same record.
Keep a sightings log on site
Record the date, location and what staff saw, from droppings to a live cockroach. File it with the service reports so a San Mateo County inspector and your technician read the same history.
Inspect deliveries at the back door
Check produce cases, cartons and pallets for cockroaches and droppings before they go into storage. Break down cardboard at receiving and get it out to recycling the same day.
Seal shared-wall penetrations
Pipes and conduit that pass between suites on attached buildings give cockroaches and mice a route from next door. Close those gaps with sealant or escutcheon plates and note the repair in the log.
Keep doors closed and swept
Fit door sweeps on back doors and keep them shut between deliveries. Store food on racks off the floor with a clear strip along walls so staff can spot droppings.
Clean drains and grease areas weekly
Floor drains, grease traps and the floor under cooking lines feed cockroaches and flies. Clean them on a set day each week and record it.
When to do it
Daily log entries, weekly drain cleaning, and a check of door sweeps and roof drains each October before the rainy season.

Common Questions
Commercial Pest Control FAQs for Millbrae
What pest control documentation does a Millbrae restaurant need for a health inspection?
An inspector wants evidence of an active program, not a receipt. That means a current service log with dates and technician signatures, a map of monitoring devices and bait stations, records of what was found and what was done about it, product labels and safety data sheets kept on site, and written notes on conducive conditions such as a gap under a rear door or standing water at a floor drain. We keep that binder current at the site so it is there when the inspection is.
Can cockroaches move between attached buildings on Broadway in Millbrae?
Yes, because shared walls, plumbing chases, conduit runs and common rear alleys are all routes. German cockroaches move readily between tenancies in continuous downtown buildings, which is why treating one space while the kitchen next door goes untreated tends to produce a return. Where possible we work with the property owner or the neighboring tenant to treat connected spaces together and seal the penetrations that link them.
Do you service Millbrae businesses outside of operating hours?
Off-hours service is available, and it is how most of our restaurant work in this city gets done, either before opening or after close, so nobody is treating around a dining room mid-service. Retail and office property we schedule around the business day. For multi-unit residential near the station we coordinate access through the property manager and give tenants advance notice. Tell us your hours when you call and we build the route around them.
