Pest Activity Daily Walk

Pre-open pest activity walk. Catches signs of pest activity (droppings, gnaw marks, live pests, harborage) before service begins.

Interior Pest Activity Signs

• No fresh droppings observed in interior areas
  Check floors, baseboards, corners, shelves, under equipment, and behind movable items for fresh droppings.
• No gnaw marks or chewed packaging observed
  Inspect product packaging, cardboard, wiring, and stored materials for gnaw marks or chew damage.
• No live pests observed
  Look for live insects, rodents, or other pests in all inspected interior areas.
• No nesting material, webs, or harborage signs observed
  Check for nesting material, insect webs, cluttered hiding areas, or other harborage conditions in corners, voids, and storage areas.
• No insect trails, cast skins, or egg cases observed
  Inspect along walls, shelving, drains, and hidden surfaces for trails, cast skins, egg cases, or other signs of infestation.

Bait Stations and Monitoring Devices

• Interior bait stations or monitors present and in place
  Confirm all required interior pest monitoring devices are present at assigned locations and not moved or missing.
• Bait stations are clean, intact, and not tampered with
  Check stations for damage, contamination, missing bait, or signs of tampering.
• Monitoring devices show no unusual pest activity
  Review traps, glue boards, or monitors for captured pests, heavy activity, or conditions requiring service.

Exterior Perimeter and Entry Points

• Doors, dock areas, and openings are sealed against pest entry
  Check door sweeps, weather stripping, dock seals, gaps, and penetrations for openings that could allow pest entry.
• No droppings, burrows, or gnawing damage observed outside
  Inspect exterior walls, dumpsters, landscaping edges, and loading areas for droppings, burrows, or gnaw damage.
• Waste and recycling areas are clean and secured
  Verify dumpster lids are closed, waste is contained, and the surrounding area is free of overflow or residue that may attract pests.
• Standing water and debris are not present near the building
  Check for standing water, leaf litter, food debris, or clutter that can support pest harborage near the perimeter.

Sanitation and Harborage Conditions

• Floors, drains, and under-equipment areas are clean
  Inspect for food residue, spills, grease buildup, and debris in areas that can attract or support pests.
• Clutter is minimized in storage and low-traffic areas
  Check for stacked materials, unused equipment, or clutter that creates pest harborage or blocks cleaning access.
• Food and ingredients are stored off the floor and protected
  Verify product is stored in closed containers or protected packaging and elevated as required by site procedures.

Corrective Actions and Service Escalation

• Any pest-related deficiency documented with location and details
  Record the exact location, type of evidence observed, and any immediate containment or cleanup actions taken.
• Pest control vendor or manager notified when required
  Document whether escalation was completed for any live pest, fresh droppings, active infestation, or repeated harborage condition.
