• Inspection of Incoming Goods – Check all deliveries for any sign of pest presence and refuse those that show any evidence of contamination.
• Structural Modifications – Repair and seal gaps and cracks through which pests can enter. Maintain door seals and screens to keep pests out.
• Sanitation –Limit pest access to food and water by thoroughly cleaning food spills, grease and other debris from floors, counters, cook tops, and other surfaces. Maintain garbage areas, repair leaky faucets and pipes, and clean drains.
