Pest Control Checklist

Facility management items address debris and rubbish accumulating around the building exterior, cleanliness of exterior bins and whether they are properly covered, whether doors and other external openings are well fitted so no light passes through, window and door screens that are in place and in good condition, accumulation of spilled food, liquid or dust, whether all food containers have lids, whether food products are stored above the floor, daily emptying and removal of internal bins, cleaning of dirty dishes before closing overnight, and regular cleaning of hard-to-reach areas such as under grill lines, preparation tables, and shelving. Evidence items look for mouse droppings and urine stains, gnaw marks on boxes or equipment, insects present on sticky traps, and signs of nesting such as piles of dust, debris, or insulation in quiet areas.

The audit section records who conducted the inspection, when it took place, where it was carried out, and captures signatures. The checklist also records the real start date and end date of the inspection and when it was finished. These records allow you to track the inspection and assign corrective actions if evidence of pests is found.

Yes, the checklist includes items such as checking exterior bins for cleanliness and proper covering, confirming doors and openings are well fitted, ensuring all food containers have lids, storing food above the floor, disposing of internal rubbish daily, cleaning dirty dishes before closing, and regularly cleaning hard-to-reach areas. These measures prevent pests from finding food, water, and shelter.
