Pest Control Built for Commercial Kitchens
German cockroach programs, drain-fly diagnostics, rodent exclusion on your loading dock, fruit fly control at the bar, and health-department-ready documentation on every visit. Service scheduled around your prep and turn windows — not ours.
- ✓ Health Dept Documentation
- ✓ After-Hours Service
- ✓ Aprehend® Certified
- ✓ 100% Commercial Focus
Commercial kitchens are the toughest pest control environment in the metro.
Every shift brings fresh food waste, standing water in floor sinks, grease buildup in exhaust and fryer lines, cardboard from deliveries, and a back door that stays propped open during a rush. German cockroaches breed inside warm motor housings on the dish line. Fruit flies multiply in a neglected drain in the bar well. Norway rats follow the dumpster line at 2am. A single inspection catching pest activity in a food-prep area can pull your permit or trigger a re-inspection fee — and online review damage lasts longer than either.
ProTech runs restaurant accounts for operators across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, Noblesville, Zionsville, and the surrounding metro — from single-location fast-casual concepts to multi-unit fine-dining groups, breweries, brunch spots, taprooms, ghost kitchens, and banquet halls. Every service is built around the health-department inspection calendar you actually live with: Marion County Public Health Department food protection inspections, surrounding-county health department surveys, corporate third-party audits (Ecosure, Steritech-equivalent), and the state-level ISDH oversight layered on top.
We're a small, commercial-only, owner-operated team on purpose. No residential side calls pulling our techs off schedule. The same crew knows your kitchen layout, your peak hours, where the roaches keep coming from, and which drains your dish team actually cleans. That's the difference between a service program that fixes the problem and one that just shows up every month.
Every kitchen format across the Indianapolis metro.
Fast-casual, fine dining, breweries, bars, banquet, ghost kitchens, country clubs, food trucks with commissary kitchens — we've built pest programs around all of them.
High-volume service, tight prep windows, and drive-thru back-door traffic. German roach monitoring, rodent exclusion, and drain-fly programs built around your turn cycle.
Reputation-sensitive operators where discretion matters. Pre-service inspections, documentation for wine storage pests, and IPM that keeps product out of food prep zones.
Fruit and drain flies at beer lines, rodents in back-of-house dry storage, and after-hours service scheduled around your close-to-open window.
Grain pests in malt storage, fruit flies on spent hops, rodents around bottling and loading docks. IPM tuned for food-grade production.
Shared kitchen facilities with multiple operators sharing hood, dish, and walk-in equipment. Cross-tenant pest programs that protect each brand individually.
High-volume kitchens active only on event days. Pre-event inspections, storage-area monitoring, and rodent programs for loading-dock access.
Multi-kitchen properties — fine dining, grill room, banquet, pool café — managed as one coordinated commercial pest program.
Stored-product pest control (Indian meal moth, grain beetles), fly programs for sweet-inventory operations, and tight-window morning-prep scheduling.
If it's a commercial kitchen in the Indianapolis metro — food trucks with a commissary, corporate cafeterias, school cafeterias, hospital kitchens, senior-living dining — we build pest programs for it. Tell us what you operate and what inspection cycle you're on.
Every pest service an Indianapolis-metro restaurant actually needs.
No residential side-programs pulling attention. Every hour of our week is commercial pest management — restaurants, food service, and food-adjacent operators.
Commercial Bed Bug Treatment with Aprehend®
Hotels and senior-living are the obvious Aprehend® use case — but restaurants with overnight-stay back-of-house (employee bunks at resort properties, 24-hour truck-stop diners with driver lounges) and BOH laundry/linen spaces also encounter bed bug hitchhiking. We're one of the short list of Indy-metro operators certified in Aprehend® — an EPA-registered biopesticide that clears bed bugs without the evacuation or heat treatment traditional protocols require.
- ✓No evacuation required
- ✓Kills eggs + adults
- ✓Up to 3 months residual
- ✓Discreet for staff and operations
German roach gel baiting, IGR programs, crack-and-crevice treatments. The service that actually resolves kitchen roach pressure — not just knocks it down.
View service →Drain, fruit, phorid, and house flies. Diagnosed at the source — floor sinks, bar drains, wet biofilm, exterior dumpsters — not aerosol knockdown.
View service →Interior/exterior programs with tamper-resistant stations, loading-dock exclusion, burrow treatment, and documented monitoring logs.
View service →Low-toxicity, threshold-based programs that meet FDA Food Code 2022 and corporate audit standards. Sanitation-first methodology.
View service →Odorous house ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants. Non-repellent bait programs that match food-service product-choice constraints.
View service →Indian meal moth, grain beetles, cigarette beetles — the dry-goods pests that drive FDA-citable rejections in bakery, bar, and back-of-house storage.
View service →Pre-inspection walks, sanitation consulting, structural exclusion, and dock-door seal audits. What prevents the re-inspection fee.
View service →Active roach/rodent sighting before a re-inspection, corporate audit, or grand reopening. Priority dispatch for commercial operators.
View service →The base service that bundles recurring interior/exterior monitoring, reporting, and the full pest spectrum under one agreement.
View service →What Indianapolis commercial kitchens actually face.
Regional pest patterns across Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, and Johnson county restaurant accounts — what we see on service calls, by pressure type and source.
The #1 restaurant pest call. Lives in warm motor housings, refrigeration gasket channels, and equipment seams — not baseboards. Gel baiting + IGR is the only program that resolves infestations without resistance buildup. A single sighting during a health inspection can pull your permit.
Breed in organic biofilm inside drain lines. Surface spray does nothing — the colony is inside the drain wall. We treat with enzymatic biofilm digesters and structural drain inspection. Root cause is almost always a drain that isn't getting scrubbed, not a missed spray.
Breed on fermenting sugar — beer line residue, overripe fruit, dirty soda-gun nozzles. Eight-day life cycle means the problem compounds fast. We identify breeding source and combine with a sanitation protocol the bar team can actually run nightly.
Restaurant density drives urban rat pressure across downtown Indy, Broad Ripple, Mass Ave, Fountain Square, and every commercial corridor. Dumpster corral sanitation, dock-door gap exclusion, and interior monitoring stations are non-negotiable for Marion County Health Department inspections.
Often misidentified as drain flies but breed in moist organic matter below the floor — including leaking sewer lines beneath the slab. A phorid fly problem is usually a plumbing problem. We identify source so you know whether you're calling us or a plumber.
Larvae tunnel through bagged flour, rice, grain, and decorative dried-fruit inventory. FIFO rotation, container swaps from bag to sealed, and pheromone monitoring catch it before a corporate auditor does.
September through November, brown marmorated stink bugs and cluster flies accumulate on south and west-facing glass — an aesthetics problem at front-of-house, a sanitation concern near food. Perimeter exterior treatment in late summer prevents the fall indoor issue.
Restaurant ants are almost always tied to specific sticky spots — syrup spills, beverage drip pans, sugar bins. Pharaoh ants especially require non-repellent bait; spraying fragments the colony and makes it worse. Common cleanup call from national chains that used the wrong product.
Restaurant pest pressure in the Indianapolis metro peaks twice a year — rodent activity climbs aggressively October through February as populations move indoors, and cockroach/fly pressure compounds May through September with heat and humidity. Stored-product pests stay year-round. We schedule service frequency around your volume, kitchen type, and inspection cycle — not a generic 30-day cadence.
Documentation built for the inspections you actually get.
Health department, corporate, and third-party audits all want the same three things — a pest logbook, service records with product/site detail, and a corrective-action trail. We produce all three on every visit.
Marion County Public Health
Food protection inspections from Marion County Public Health Department reference Indiana's adoption of the FDA Food Code 2022. Our service documentation matches the evidence inspectors want to see — pest activity log, service dates, products applied, and corrective-action notes tied to specific sightings.
Surrounding-County Health Depts
Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone, Hancock, and Madison county health departments each run their own inspection programs with slight variations. Same core documentation — we adapt report format to whichever jurisdiction you're under.
FDA Food Code 2022
Indiana adopted the FDA Food Code 2022 framework. Our IPM program, product choices, and service documentation are built around that standard — including the pest-management requirements in Chapter 6 that inspectors reference on citations.
Corporate Third-Party Audits
Ecosure, Steritech-equivalent, AIB, ServSafe, and internal corporate audit programs want pest documentation in a specific format. We've produced reports for every major audit framework — including the multi-site rollups multi-unit operators need for corporate review.
ISDH (State Level)
Indiana State Department of Health oversight layered above local health department inspections — especially relevant for multi-county operators or facilities serving vulnerable populations (schools, healthcare cafés, senior living dining). Documentation format scales across jurisdictions.
Liability & Insurance
Pest control service records are also the evidence your insurance carrier wants if a foodborne-illness claim ever gets filed. Every service we do is timestamped, itemized, and digitally archived — not a handwritten sticker on the wall.
How we protect your commercial kitchen.
On-Site Inspection
We walk the full facility — kitchen line, dish, walk-ins, dry storage, bar, front-of-house, dock, exterior, roof access. Map conducive conditions and live pressure specific to your build-out.
Custom Pest Plan
Treatment selection, service frequency, documentation format built around your kitchen format, inspection calendar, corporate audit requirements, and existing pressure. No generic contract.
Targeted Treatment
Low-toxicity, IPM-compliant products placed in specific harborage areas — motor housings, crack-and-crevice, drain interiors. Scheduled around your service windows (pre-open, post-close, day-between).
Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting
Monitoring stations, digital service logs, trend tracking, and audit-ready reports every visit. Live dashboard access for multi-unit operators.
Indianapolis-metro operators across the commercial kitchen spectrum.
We'd been cycling through national chains for years — always reactive, never resolving our German roach pressure on the dish line. ProTech's first service identified the harborage in our under-counter warmer we didn't even know existed. Six months in we're running clean inspections for the first time in three years.
Our brewery taproom had a chronic fruit-fly issue at the beer wall that two other companies couldn't figure out. ProTech traced it to the drip-tray drain line on a single tap in under an hour. Night-and-day difference. They're also the only team that's ever actually shown up outside business hours without us having to beg.
We run five locations across Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville. ProTech handles all of them with the same dedicated tech rotation, and the reports match across every site — exactly what our corporate audit team needs. No more three-week delays chasing down documentation from a national chain's regional manager.
