Tip 1: Inspection of common areas.

The keystone of an effective Pest Management program is creating good plan of timely inspections. For food processors weekly inspections are quite prevalent, and inspection of some plants should also be done more routinely. These timely inspections must be concentrated on areas where pests are more probably to appear like receiving docks, storage areas, employee break rooms, sites of recent ingredient spills and identify any potential entry points, food and water sources that might encourage pest problems.

Tip 2: Undertaking a Preventive Action.

The timely inspections shows the vulnerabilities in your pest management methods, and what important and fruitful steps to be taken to address them before they cause a real issue. One of the most effective prevention measures is using the idea of exclusion, i.e., performing structural maintenance to close potential entry points revealed during inspection. By physically keeping pests out, you can limit the need for chemical methods. Similarly, the proper sanitation and housekeeping methods will remove the potential food and water sources, which will in turn reduce the pest pressure.

Tip 3: Identifying the different types of pests.

Different pests have different behaviors. By identifying the problematic pest groups, pests can be removed more effectively and with the least risk of harm to other species. Professional pest management always begins with the correct identification of the pest in question.

Tip 4: Do a detailed Analysis.

Once you have properly identified the pest, you need to know that why the pest is in your facility. The following questions should come to your mind

Is there any food waste or moisture accumulation that may be attracting it?

What about odors and smells?

How are the pests finding their way in – perhaps through the floors, walls or through some other areas?

The answers to these questions will lead to the best choice of control techniques.

Tip 5: Choosing the right treatment.

 When the other control methods have failed or are inappropriate for the situation, certain chemicals must be used in least volatile formulations in targeted areas to treat the specific pest. Use the right treatments in the right places, and only as much as you need to get the job done.

Tip 6:  Proper monitoring of pests.

You should monitor your facility for pest activity and operational changes and this in- turn will help you in protecting against infestation and also help you in eliminating the existing ones. Your office employees should be aware of sanitation issues that affect the place and should report any signs of pest activity.

Tip 7: Carrying out proper Documentation.

Up-to-date pest control documentation is one of the early signs to an auditor that your facility takes pest control seriously. You should verify the important documents which includes scope of service, pest activity reports, service reports, and corrective action reports, lists of approved pesticides, pesticide usage reports and applicator licenses.
