What are examples of Pest Controls in general?

General pest control

Nuisance from a pest or pests can usually be prevented by taking some simple preventive measures.

Construction condition.

• Walls, ceilings and floors should be tight and flat to avoid hiding places.
• The walls have no holes and connect well to the floor and ceiling.
• There are no holes in the exterior walls.
• All doors must close properly.
• There are no gaps > 0.5 cm. This is to prevent mice and rats in the building.
• Windows in production are closed. Windows that we would like to have open are fitted with mosquito nets (< 1mm).
• The sewage system is in good condition. Where necessary, spherical grids have been placed on the rainwater drainage.
• Insulation around hot water pipes must be sound and sealed to prevent hiding places.
• Preferably no opening windows and doors near open water.
• Groundwater under the floors is prevented.
• Cracks are prevented.
• Standing water in gutters and on the roof is prevented as much as possible.
• Cavities are sealed at the top and bottom.

Hygiene

• Everything is kept clean.
• The grounds and building are well maintained to avoid hiding places.
• Litter is prevented.
• Waste containers are closed.
• Eating and drinking is only allowed in the designated areas. These areas are cleaned at a fixed frequency.

Industrial hygiene

• The products are not placed directly on the floor. There is also space between the pallets and the wall so that inspection is possible.
• The stocks are inspected for the presence of pests.
• Various hygiene measures apply within the company.
• Wooden pallets are kept clean and dry.
• Planting is kept as short as possible and at least 60 cm from the facade.
• Pallets are cleared 30 cm from the floor and 50 cm from the wall to allow proper inspection.
