Pest Control
-Goals: (1) prevent, (2)Remove food and water sources to eliminate and prevent breeding, (3) Work w/ PCO to control any infestations that occur
-Integrated pest management program balances prevention and control.
-Pestcides are chemicals used to kill pests
-Do not use pesticides yourself. Improper use may causes: unnecessary exposure, failure to remedy infestation, introduce a great hazard, contaminate food, and health hazard to a food service worker.
-Too high/low temp can reduce the effectiveness of a pesticide (over 120F may lead possible fire)
Deny entry, deny dwelling: damp, dirty, dark
-PCO: identify issues, efficiently select treatments, apply treatments safely, save money, respond quickly, and provide advice and records.
