6. Introduction
Pests (insects, rodents, birds, as well as domestic animals) entering or infesting food
establishments are a potential source of microbiological and physical hazards. Poorly executed
pest control programmes and careless storage and use of pesticides may also result in chemical
hazards. Procedures are needed to prevent or minimise the risk of such hazards causing illness or
injury to consumers.
Examples demonstrating the importance of pest control:

6.1. Pest control checklist

Food business operators have the responsibility to control pests. This may be carried out by
company staff or by contractors. If carried out by staff, a pest control checklist will help to make sure
that areas are not missed out from inspection, and provides a place to record whether infestations
have been found and the action that is then taken.
A pest control checklist is available in ‘Annex 1.’ at the end of this chapter.
