Review the immediate attraction
Keep food covered when practical, clear spills and close rubbish containers. Observe whether insects wander between food sources or consistently enter one point in the building. Avoid swatting or disturbing clusters close to people.
Arrange an assessment when needed
If there is a regular entry route or a nest is visible, provide its location from a safe distance. Explain how the seating area is used and whether staff or guests need access. Nest treatment and food-management changes solve different parts of the problem, so the response should match the evidence.
Include nearby waste containers
An outdoor dining area may share space with bins or drinks disposal. Reviewing those routines can help explain the attraction even if a nest is also present. Tell the inspector about both patterns so any recommendation separates food management from work at a confirmed nest location.
