Hi

 

Can someone please give me some pointers on pest control surveys.  I am not satisfied with our current pest control guy's survey but I cannot find anything really on the contents of pest control surveys or guidelines?

Below are the points that are on the survey I made up for our company - we use BRC as our GFSI benchmark, the points on the survey come pretty much directly from the standard, however i do believe they will work across the board with some minor changes. I do this survey qtrly with the pest control provider. In () are the things to consider. 

 

Purpose and Scope: The aim of this survey is to examine the pest control activities, to ensure that they remain appropriate, and to allow an in-depth assessment of the site and equipment for evidence of pest activity, and to propose preventative measures to eliminate or minimize pest activity.

 

Review of pest control measures:  (Are they still appropriate for the type of business/ Are those measures effective? 

Review of bait takes: (#'s, anything out of the ordinary considering typical trends (weather and such))

Catch analysis from trapping devices:  (#'s, anything out of the ordinary considering typical trends (weather and such))

Identification of any trends: (Typical, require corrective action?)

Review of actions taken: (Is the current plan managing the pest activity, or is further/ less action needed?)

Recommendations for changes or improvements: (No one knows the pest activity like your provider, have them provide trends and recommend improvements for keeping numbers down)

 

Hope this helps!!

You may find this guidance document helpful. We  are using a PMP  and find it gives good informaiton on how to interface / define expectation from the provider.
