Pest Control for Food Industry
Pest control for your food business or restaurant is an essential requirement, not just by environmental health officers, but also your customers. Reputation is key, especially within the food industry, that’s why we offer year round service packages to ensure your food business is covered against pests.
Restaurants, Hotels, Pubs and More
We provide pest control for restaurants, hotels, pubs, food shops and more. We have 20 years experience working with food businesses to ensure they are protected. All businesses are required to be registered with the local authority and to operate to specific standards, these standards are based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). HACCP principles are what your local environmental health officer will use to assess the standards you are operating to.
Regulations
Local Environmental Health Officers operate from East and West Lindsey District Councils, South Holland District Council, North Lincolnshire Council and North Kesteven District Council. When The Environmental Health Officer visits they will generally check your premises for housekeeping and inspect your pest control log for records of monitor checks, treatments and proofing measures. It is crucial that all monitoring, actions and preventative measures employed are recorded for the Environmental Health officer to inspect.
The Lincs Pest Year Round Service Plan
Our service plan ensures that you are operating to the standards required of your business and helps you maintain a good level of food safety. Within our plan we carry out treatments for Rats and Mice, and monitor for crawling insects such as cockroaches, spiders and earwigs. For this we use rodent monitor points outside and in key interior areas, interior points also contain insect monitors to ensure that potential insect infestations are identified and dealt with as soon as possible, we can also carry out regular fly lamp checks and servicing for you.
A structured approach to pest management through regular monitoring procedures, record keeping and reporting is an essential part of any pest management plan. We supply all service clients with our on-site or on-line log containing risk assessments, method statements, scheduled site reports, COSHH safety data sheets relating to products in use and certification of our training, qualifications and insurances. These help you to demonstrate an on-going and professional approach to food safety.
