Procedures to reduce the risk of
insect or rodent infestation should be implemented.
|
|
Office buildings provide pests with
warmth, food and shelter.
|
|
Catering and eating areas are
particular areas at risk.
|
|
By ignoring simple pest control
measures this may aid pest infestation and help spread disease and
cause distress amongst staff.
|
|
Simple control measures should be;
|
|
Eating
of meals should not be carried out at workstations and only in
designated areas such as rest areas and restaurant facilities.
|
|
Introducing a strict cleaning regime
with the emptying of office bins on a daily basis to an external
refuse area.
|
|
The integrity of the office building
should be maintained with any holes and gaps in walls plugged and
filled.
|
|
Rodent bait boxes placed both
internally and externally in strategic places around the building. A
specialist pest control contractor will advise on suitable positions
of the bait boxes.
|
|
The sighting of the external refuse
area should be away from the office building.
|
|
Waste skips and bins within the
external refuse area should be emptied regularly to ensure they are
not be overfilled.
|
|
Waste skips and bins containing food
waste should fully contain the waste contents with pull down
lids.
