Pest Control Logging: Beyond the Basics

SafeLogs Team
February 20, 2024

Rodents, insects, and other pests are not just a nuisance — they're a fast track to violations and shutdowns.

What to Track:

  • Date of pest sighting
  • Location and description
  • Type of pest (rodent, roach, fly, etc.)
  • Actions taken (traps, exterminator, cleaning)

Best Practices:

  • Perform daily inspections of dumpsters and entry points
  • Document pest control vendor visits
  • Log follow-ups to ensure resolution

Why It Matters:

Health inspectors will check your logs. Using SafeLogs makes it easy to track patterns, stay compliant, and resolve issues before they hurt your score.
