Commercial Pest Management
Commercial Pest Control in Sunnyvale, CA
101 Exterminators runs commercial pest control in Sunnyvale for restaurants, corporate cafeterias, warehouses, retail and property managers — scheduled IPM service with written logs an inspector can read. California licensed, SPCB Lic. #9119. The kitchens on South Murphy Avenue and the food service inside the Moffett Park office campuses answer to the same Santa Clara County inspector and need the same paper trail.
Home maintenance
How do Sunnyvale restaurants and office cafeterias keep pests out?
Run prevention as a routine with written records. Sunnyvale’s food service ranges from the restaurants on historic Murphy Avenue to corporate cafeterias in Moffett Park, and both receive daily deliveries and generate a lot of waste. German cockroaches arrive with cardboard and move through shared plumbing, and rats follow the trash.
Check every delivery at the dock
Inspect cases, produce boxes and pallets for roaches and gnaw marks on arrival, then break down cardboard and remove it from the kitchen the same shift.
Seal walls shared with neighbors
On Murphy Avenue, restaurants share walls and older plumbing with the businesses beside them. Close gaps around pipes and conduit where they pass between spaces.
Keep dumpster areas closed and washed
Close lids, wash the pad on a schedule and replace cracked bins. Campus cafeterias and busy restaurants produce a lot of food waste, so enclosures that stay closed keep it away from rats overnight.
Fit door sweeps and keep doors shut
Rear and dock doors that don’t seal let rodents in after hours. Fit sweeps on every exterior door, keep doors closed between deliveries and check the seals monthly.
Keep a dated pest log
Record sightings, service visits and repairs. Health inspectors and facility managers look for that history, and it shows you where problems keep returning.
When to do it
Daily for deliveries and trash, monthly for seals and door sweeps.

Common Questions
Commercial Pest Control FAQs for Sunnyvale
What pest documentation does a Sunnyvale restaurant need for a health inspection?
A current service log showing a scheduled program, what was found, what was applied, and the corrective actions requested. Santa Clara County inspectors look for evidence of an ongoing program rather than a one-time treatment after a complaint, and they read conducive conditions — a failing door sweep, standing water at a floor drain, an uncovered trash enclosure — as part of the same picture. We leave that record on site after every visit so it is there when an inspector arrives unannounced.
How often should a Moffett Park corporate cafeteria be serviced?
Monthly at minimum for any high-volume production kitchen, and more often while a German cockroach population is being brought down. Continuous food handling, warm equipment, dishwashing moisture and heavy foot traffic give Blattella germanica everything it needs, and a facility on that profile that goes a long stretch between visits typically rebounds before the next one. We set the interval from what the monitors show rather than applying a default schedule to every account.
Does construction around Moffett Park push rodents into nearby buildings?
It does, and it is worth planning around. Grading and demolition open burrows and strip cover, and the Norway rats living along the Sunnyvale East and West Channels move to the nearest structure that will take them — usually one with a worn dock seal, a gap under a roll-up door, or a service door propped open for deliveries. With the whole Moffett Park district in a long redevelopment cycle, nearby facilities do better scheduling exclusion ahead of the disturbance than trapping after it.
