-
Is site training conducted so all employee understand the signs of pest activity and how to report them.<br>Should be a tool box / training session on your yearly training plan. Include location of Pest Sighting Log Book.<br>

-
Is there a full site plan indicating positions and type (i.e. toxic/non‐toxic) of all baits and monitoring equipment (internal and external) and are the locations uniquely identified. Toxic rodent baits must not be used in production/storage areas.<br>Plans need to include all external structures and be reviewed yearly by the Pest contractor. <br>Print plan and walk the site to confirm that bait stations are marked correctly.<br><br>Are the bait stations secured to the walls or floors to prevent removal and are they located against the building and the ground in the likely path of rodents. <br>Locations must include site perimeter, roof spaces, dry goods stores, staff facilities, maintenance stores / workshops.<br>Flying insect control units (FICU) must be strategically placed to effectively monitor and control flying insects. <br>
-
Is the Pest Sightings Log used by staff for all pest sightings and / or evidence of activity. <br>Information to be recorded on the sighting;<br>• Date and time<br>• Name of initiator<br>• Pest sighted<br>• Location<br>• Action taken and signature.<br>
-
Check to ensure bait stations used inside open food processing, storage, maintenance, employee facilities, and associated areas are nontoxic ( Indicator Baits).<br>If live rodents are trapped in Tinkats, these must be emptied every day.<br><br>
-
Are risk assessments available to back up the position and type of Flying Insect Control (FIC) units used. <br>The site must demonstrate the units do not pose a contamination risk to product or materials (must not be positioned over lines and bulbs are shatter proof).<br>EFK (‘bug zapper’) units that electrify the insect shall not be used. These cause insects to explode resulting in potential foreign objects<br>
-
Chemicals used for pest control shall be stored separate from the production and storage (including storage of raw materials and packaging) areas – ideally not stored on site. <br>Rentokil should not be storing any chemicals on site.
-
When fumigation is needed it must only be conducted by the pest control company with fumigants that are safe for use with food.<br>After fumigation the supplier shall:<br>• Ventilate the treated area<br>• Observe any withholding period prior to using<br>• any treated raw materials or releasing treated<br>• finished product.<br>• Check the effectiveness of fumigation and for<br>• signs of dead insects, webs, cocoon’s etc.<br>• Remove affected product entirely from the area.<br>• monitor for re‐emergence of active insects<br>
