Have you ever heard about pest control audit report? Whether you’re in the food service industry, hospitality industry, or any other industry where audits are an operational requirement, a pest control audit is something your business has to undergo to ensure that it complies with the existing safety and operational standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this is a time-consuming process that requires everyone to cooperate as auditors often look at conditions and processes that stretch across your operation, pest control audit is a critical portion of many third-party audits. Many of the companies are scared of losing points in their pest control audit report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smallest infraction can result in low scores which can have a significant impact on your business like having to halt your operations for an extended period, negatively impacting your business performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent that from happening, you must take the necessary steps to achieve a high audit score for every audit. While it doesn’t happen overnight, a little consistency and dedication will help your business achieve pest control excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, here are some of the common problems you can avoid with your pest control audit report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Failure to organise documents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Different from pest control inspection, pest control audit involves reviewing a number of documentation. Depending on the audit scheme and size of your business operation, the documents required may differ but every auditor expects to see your documented pest control plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, before your scheduled audit, organise your pest control documents such as proof of service reports, facility maps with device locations, product labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), trend reports, etc., so that it\u2019s easily accessible during the audit. You don\u2019t want to scramble around looking for these documents while the auditor waits for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Outdated facility maps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given the dynamics of today\u2019s safety regulatory and audit requirements, your risk-based pest control programmes should be continually adjusted to address new risks or concerns about pest control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you just installed a new pest control device like a rodent station or insect light trap<\/span><\/a>, you must update them in your logbook or pest management system. This is so that you don\u2019t lose points over an outdated facility map during your pest control audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Failure to act on pest control recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most pest control providers will provide recommendations on ways you can reduce pest risk at your business facility. It can be as simple as installing a door sweep to close the gap under a door or more significant like implementing a deep cleaning programme to remove debris and dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you fail to act on such recommendations, you will likely lead the auditors to look more closely at your business facility\u2019s conditions. This will cause you to lose points on your pest control audit report. Instead of losing those points in your pest control audit report, make sure you review your proof of service reports after every service and address the given suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Damaged or non-functioning pest control devices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re running a food processing facility<\/span><\/a>, the chances of your pest control devices being damaged or not functioning are high as there’s plenty of action in your facility. Your pest control devices like bait stations could be damaged by heavy machinery, knocked out of place or become rusted due to humidity. This could result in your score being deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can instead perform regular checks on your pest control devices or request your pest control provider to check all your devices during their routine visit. That way, you can immediately report any issue to your provider so that they can repair or replace the devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ignoring fence line pest problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a common issue with many business facilities, especially those located nearby fields or farms, which come with their unique pest issues. Fenceline pest problems may be out of your control but they can affect your pest control plan due to the proximity of your structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of ignoring the issues, it\u2019s best to understand your neighbouring properties so that you and your pest control provider can come up with a plan at the fence line. Make sure it includes rodent protection as rats tend to seek refuge at fields or farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Failure to address exterior lighting issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bright exterior lighting can attract a number of flying insects like moths and other night-flyers. If the lights are angled at the doors or windows, it can also affect the cleanliness of your business facility as such positions will allow them to enter your facility easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent that from happening, consult your pest control provider about the best type of lighting to reduce your facility\u2019s attractiveness. This can be as simple as replacing the type of lighting you\u2019re using or changing the position of your lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right pest control provider<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
