Pests should be a concern of ServSafe food managers all year round<\/a>, but we’re in unique times that may draw more pests to your food establishment than normal. Pests like raccoons, rats, mice and even black bears are seeking out new sources of food during cold weather. If you factor in reduced operations at many businesses due to COVID-19 restrictions, retail outlets, food businesses and other industries are producing less waste and less garbage forcing pests to range further and even move indoors to search for food. With the possibility of these pests becoming more aggressive in their quest for a free meal, what should ServSafe food managers do to prevent winter pests out of their establishments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ServSafe Food manager’s Guide to Preventing Pest Infiltration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When taking preventative measures against pests entering your food preparation facility, evaluate your entrances, dumpsters and outdoor dining areas. If animals are attracted to the exterior of your building, there’s a good chance they’ll be able to find a way inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ServSafe food managers should get into the habit of regularly scheduling staff to inspect and clean outside areas to prevent pests. With more outdoor dining due to limited indoor seating capacity, there’s more potential for food to be dropped or spilled. A messy outdoor dining patio will attract pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also important to make sure dumpsters and garbage areas are also free from debris. You can also lock your dumpsters after hours to prevent larger urban mammals from rummaging through your trash. If they are unable to find sustenance in your trash, they’ll likely move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve taken care to keep your outside areas clean, it’ll be a helpful deterrent but may not give you total protection against pests entering your facility. ServSafe food managers should design pest prevention procedures to ensure the following happens every day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • All interior garbage cans are empty<\/li>
  • Counters and floors are cleaned and sanitized<\/li>
  • All unpackaged inventory is stored off of the ground<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Even if it’s just inside the kitchen, a full garbage can attract pests such as rodents and insects. Dirty floors and countertops release odors that attract unwanted visitors and become a breeding ground for fruit flies, gnats and other bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, make sure inventory such as produce is stored as far off the ground as possible. Ground level fruits and vegetables can be an open invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have you taken extra precautions to keep pests out of your food preparation areas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
