Pests like cockroaches and rodents love places with a lot of foods, and they are capable of causing serious health issues and food safety concerns if not dealt with properly. While Singapore is known for being a very clean country, these pests can still be seen in a few places like your favourite dining restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets, hotels, and more. Have you seen one recently? Even just the thought of it gives you a creepy feeling, right? Unfortunately, there have been many incidents of people finding these pests in their food and drink. Some of these unpleasant experiences have been shared a thousand times on social media. This clearly reflects how important it is for commercial establishments to have a regular pest control services check, especially for cockroach control, to ensure that the place is pest-free.
Some incidents shared by people over social media
Recently, a Facebook post about a horrible experience in a leading F&B outlet went viral. The incident was reported from a mall in Green Hills in San Juan, Philippines. The user ordered a fruit tea and the glass of fruit tea had three little cockroaches settled at the bottom. He was so disgusted that he took his concerns to Facebook and posted a video of the said incident. He was disgusted by the fact that he already gulped most of the fruit tea which had cockroaches in it.
Another disturbing incident was posted by a lady and her friends from China. The lady had ordered a braised duck dish from an online food delivery platform. When she was enjoying her meal with her friends, one of them found a dead cockroach in the dish. They removed the cockroach and started inspecting the duck more carefully. Much to their disgust, they found 40 little cockroaches inside the dish. The video and images soon went viral.
In both the above cases, the food joints faced investigation and suspension of their food license while the investigation continued. Both these incidents are appalling as their customers were put at risk. Though we can blame the food joints for their negligence, we can’t deny the fact that a cockroach infestation is a serious issue that required immediate attention and how important pest control services are.
