Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Boecker® employs a five-stage Integrated pest management (IPM) approach to pest control, focusing on prevention measures rather than a reactive program.
Pest control starts with the design and construction of the building; the internal and external layout as well as construction materials. The design and construction in itself should prevent harbours of pests – deny access through doors, windows, vents, pipework, drains etc. and minimise the risk of access during business operations.
Boecker® plans the actions needed to prevent a pest infestation, including physical, cultural and chemical methods and will provide recommendations to specify:
- Physical controls: maintenance of buildings to prevent access;
- Cultural controls: change operating procedures to prevent infestations, specify the frequency of monitoring, responsible persons, monitoring activities, reassessment and document of activities;
- Sanitation controls: removal of food sources such as waste, spills and inappropriately stored food; removing harbourage;
- Chemical controls: how to eliminate pests with safe and approved pesticides suitable for use around businesses storing, preparing and displaying fresh and packaged foods and where members of the public are present;
- An inspection regime to detect the presence of pests as early as possible, around and in buildings, in fittings, equipment, stored and displayed products and incoming supplies; training of personnel; document the control measures specified; to be made available for a review team and auditors/ inspectors
Implement the control measures that provide the most effective results and ensure safety:
- Appoint trained personnel to be responsible for each area of the control measures. This can include the appointment of internal or external experts for monitoring pests;
- Assign adequate resources to implement the measures;
- Implement the control measures and inspection regime according to plans;
- Record actions and results in accordance with standards and legislative requirements
In the event of a pest outbreak, clear identification of the pest is essential to determine the most appropriate control methods and preventive actions needed to avoid re-infestation.
- Pest species – Different species of closely related pests have different behaviour and biology that will require tailored treatment for best results
- Origin – Has the pest been introduced in delivered goods or gained entry due to structural defects, poor maintenance, poor hygiene, decaying goods etc.
- Potential damage – Does it pose a food safety risk to fresh, prepared or packaged goods; can it damage equipment, fittings or building structure
- Potential harbourage – Conduct an inspection of the building and surroundings to identify harbourage places
- Quantity – Estimating the number of pests will provide an indication not only of the extent of the problem but how long they have been established on the premises
- Conducive conditions – Pests could be present due to supplier or transport issues, or environmental conditions which encourage or trigger pest infestations
Evaluate the effectiveness of the pest control program, this can include:
- Examine pest control operations;
- Review operating procedures to reduce food sources, harbourage and contamination;
- Review preventive maintenance procedures;
- Documentation of the review;
- Recommend changes and improvements to the IPM program;
- Implement the recommended changes to the IPM program
