The following pest control services must be done on a monthly basis:

1. Insect control (Cockroaches)
2. Rodent Control
3. Flying Insects

When treating for cockroaches and crawling insects you cannot just use 1 or 2 products and just treat in 1 or 2 places. You have to treat the whole facility or the insects will just move to other areas. Every time you wash floors, vacuum or do a proper clean you remove 30% to 40% of the pesticide residual. So if you do a proper clean once a week there will be No residual left at the end of the month. All food facilities must clean at least 3 to 4 times per day, so at the end of the week there will be No pesticide residual left. That is why the pest control company must use more than 1 type of pesticide and method.

They must at least use the minimum following pesticides and methods:

1. Cockroach Gel
2. Residual Spray
3. Flushing Agent
4. Dusting powder / Granules
5. The treating of the whole restaurant, kitchen and facility with a residual treatment. This has an immediate knock down and leaves a residual that kill crawling insects that crawl over it afterwards.
6. The putting out of a cockroach gel. That attracts the roaches to it so that they can eat it and die.
7. The use of a flushing agent to flush out the cockroaches and kill them.
8. The putting out of a dusting powder under the counters and fridges.
9. Insect monitors must be place throw out the facility to help monitor any insect activity
10. This must be done monthly.

1. Tamper proof rodent stations must be placed left and right of all door or openings leaning into the facility. – rodent bait is toxic and by law must be placed in tamper proof rodent stations to keep the poison safe from children, animals and to prevent company sabotage.
2. No rodent bait may be placed in cardboard rodent boxes.
3. Further tamper proof rodent bait stations must be placed every 10 to 15m inside the facility or if the facility is small 1 to 2 units against every wall.
4. All these units must be serviced on a monthly basis.

1. Flying Insect Glue Board units must be installed and serviced on a monthly basis. – No electric shock flying insects may be used.

If your pest control service provider do not do all the above you can be left with an ever increasing pest problem.
