Supermarket Pest Control Inspection Checklist

A monthly self-inspection checklist for supermarket managers assessing pest control conditions between professional pest control visits. Covers evidence of rodent, insect, and bird activity across the store, bait station condition, building exterior entry points, internal harbourage areas, food storage practices, waste and compactor areas, and the structural maintenance that prevents pest access to food products.

Supermarkets store vast quantities of food that attract every type of pest — rodents in the warehouse, stored product insects in dry goods, fruit flies near produce, and birds around the loading dock. A pest sighting by a customer or an infestation found during an audit can close a department or even the store. Monthly self-inspection between professional pest control visits catches early signs of activity.
