The Problem
Rodents are a Critical Problem
Negative social media can cause serious financial damage to a business, but the real concerns
about rodents inside are
(1) the health consequences to the customers, employees and their families and
(2) the physical damage to materials and the facility. Physical Damage (1) Rodents will utilize
any openings to enter a food facility but they will also gnaw holes in the walls, doors, roof,
ceiling, and any other obstacle to their entry into the facility. Rodents will damage products and
contaminate ingredients in the storeroom. Mice often will nibble on so many packages that it
seems like they damaged everything. Once rodents have gnawed their way into large packages or

storage bins, they may then just move in, make a nest, and start multiplying. Rodents will
damage electrical wiring and electronic equipment that is important to the routine operation of
the facility. Besides malfunctioning equipment, rodents occasionally cause a fire by gnawing on
wires or making their nests near wiring. Damage caused by allowing rodents to infest a food
service facility can be expensive to repair.
Health Consequences
(2) It’s well known that rodents are loaded with bacteria, inside and out, and, if rodents are
present inside your facility, then food contamination is occurring which threatens public health.
2 Rodents will contaminate tables, equipment, prep tables, dishes, and everything that they touch
during their nightly explorations and food forays. A rodent in a restaurant is like a living
inoculating needle in a microbiology lab – it spreads microorganisms everywhere. If we could
closely watch a rodent all night inside a building, we would be surprised at the extent of its
activity and the contamination. Damage to wiring, food containers, structural elements, and other
materials is visible if it can be found. Contamination is not visible. A person who eats in a rodent
infested facility can be painfully sick and not know the source of the bacteria (e.g., which meal,
which food item, which piece of food service or surface,) that made them so sick. Rodent fecal
droppings are visible, however, airborne dust from dried rodent droppings and residue from
rodent droppings left on the broom, vacuum, or other facility “cleaning” equipment cannot be
seen but can result in contamination. Rodent urine cannot easily be detected either, even with an
inspection blacklight. Mice leave several thousand micro-droplets of urine per day wherever they
wander inside a food service facility.3 The extent of food contamination by one mouse is difficult
for most people to imagine and it’s even more incredible if there are several rodents present.
Rodents are covered in hairs and continuously shed them during their activities. The hairs,
whether attached to the animal or not, are loaded with bacteria. There are regulations on food
workers wearing hairnets/ head covers to prevent human hair from accidentally contaminating
foods prepared in a food service facility. There are no rules for rodents to wear hairnets to
prevent contamination of food inside a food service facility.
COMMON CAUSES OF RODENTS
There are several things that can attract rodents to your home and cause an infestation. The first is
the most common cause of any type of infestation: food and water. Just like everyone
else, rodents are just trying to survive. And, one of the easiest ways to do that is to have plenty of
food and water. If you have other pets that you leave a food bowl out for, you may be attracting
some unexpected visitors.
The second most common cause is warmth. Rodent infestations can happen any time of the year.
However, you are more likely to have an infestation during the winter months as the animals seek
shelter from the cold.
Another thing that attracts rodents is clutter. Rodents often build their nests out of cardboard,
fabric, and any other soft materials. If you have a lot of clutter in your garage or your attic, you are

more likely to attract rodents who are looking for the next place to nest. When mice and rats create
their nests, they mark their territory with urine to keep other families of mice and rats away. The
smell of their urine can be toxic to humans and other pets.
One other thing that can attract rodents is vacancy. If you are moving into a new house or office
building that has been empty for a while, you can almost guarantee you’ll find a rodent resident or
two.

The Treatment
Both baits and tracking powders are rodent poisons most commonly used, usually these types of
products must be eaten by rodents to be effective. Baits such as Eradication Rodent Bait are
designed to attract the rodent to a bait station. Based on the bait it can be used either outdoors or
in and around a structure.
As per attached marked map of the factory we managed to insert bait stations and put baits inside
of which we had a premium result as next day, we got died rats more than 15.
Please find attached marked map

Recommendations
According to our site inspection we highly recommend This service to be twice a year which are
mentioned above for better result. We also recommend employees they won’t be disturbed with
this service during the execution as its outside job.
