DIVISION : Food & Beverage
DEPARTMENT : Kitchen
SECTION : Stewarding
AGENDA : Pest Control
OBJECTIVE:
• To establish an effective control procedure that contains pest infestation and contamination.
PROCEDURE:
• Based on a monthly schedule, the Housekeeping Department will organise a pest control procedure in the different outlets and kitchens.
• The Stewarding Manager shall co-ordinate all the related activities within the F&B Division.
• The following preparation points are to be observed before the start of any pest control procedure :
• The removal of all operating equipment from the cupboards and the shelves and the transfer to mobile tables
• The covering of all equipment with a clean and protective cloth
• The removal of all food items from the shelves and the cupboards, and the transfer to the appropriately improvised storage area
• No deep cleaning is to be performed immediately after any pest control procedure. The minimum wait required is 2 days in order for the disseminated product to be completely effective.
Signs of infestation
• Dead bodies of insects and rodents, smear marks eggs, larvae, pupae cases, unusual smells, scratching or gnawing sounds, gnawed pipes, fittings or boxes torn or damaged sacks or packaging, food spillages.
Types of pests
• Insects
- Flies, cockroaches, weevils, ants, rodents
Preventing pest infestation
• Regular thorough cleaning of areas, e.g. changing rooms and food stores, particularly in corners where pests may be able to hide unnoticed.
• Clearing up any spillages thoroughly and promptly.
• Not allowing waste to build up and keeping bins covered at all times.
• Keeping doors and windows closed, using self-closing doors or using insect screens across openings.
• Using bristle strips and kick plates on doors that are ill-fitting to prevent gnawing damage and rodent access.
• Moving cupboards and equipment as far as possible to clean behind and under them regularly.
• Removing any unused equipment and materials from the area.
• Ensuring food storage containers are properly closed when not in use.
• Checking all deliveries – of all items, not just food – for signs of infestation.
• Storing and rotating stock correctly.
Pest control management
• A pest control contractor may:
• Lay bait and set baited traps
• Use sticky boards
• Install electric ultraviolet insect killers
• Spray an insecticide chemical over an area.
• It is important not to touch or move any items that have been left to catch pests.
• Any sprayed areas must be left untouched for the instructed period of time
