Pest Control: No Laughing Matter
Pest control is no laughing matter – but if you’ve got it covered and invested in an environmentally sound, efficient flytrap, you might be able to indulge your funny bone a bit. The ‘waiter waiter’ joke hinges on the fact flies are disease-spreading insects that could easily have hopped from a pile of cow dung into your soup. Their funniness is rooted in the outrage of the customer. But in real life scenarios, pest control is crucial for catering establishments. Cafes, restaurants, tearooms and bars need to be particularly hot on pest control as the fly in my soup jokes testify. Flies, like rats, can damage a place’s reputation, permanently: pest control is a priority.
Pest control – Having a laugh
There are dozens of ‘waiter waiter’ jokes. Jokes often tap into sensitivities, phobias and fears, so it’s no wonder flies in soup is such a popular topic. Some of the more popular pest control jokes include:
“Waiter, what’s this fly doing in my soup?
Um, looks to me to be backstroke, sir...”
“Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup!
Keep it down sir, or they’ll all want one.”
“Waiter, waiter, there’s a bee in my soup.
Yes Sir, it’s the fly's day off.”
Pest control – A serious business
Pest control is an area that’s top of the priority list for all caterers. The BBC has reported on investigations into cafes, restaurants and takeaways that have failed to get to grips on pest control. Such stories attract huge media attention and bad press that can close a business down. Some estimate that food poisoning statistics could reach a million per year as many cases go unreported according to Which? The consumer group found takeaways littered with flies, dead and alive, as well as dying cockroaches because of insufficient pest control. Food debris or poorly stored meat attracts flies and insects, and without effective pest control the insects can spread germs and disease. Many catering outlets don’t like to use chemical fly sprays that contain toxic chemicals, but there are pest control systems such as chemical-free flytraps that offer an affordable and efficient alternative. For those companies that don’t get adequate pest control, they could end up losing customers or even being shut down by environmental health bodies.
