Free Tools
Built by a Board Certified Entomologist from the same primary sources as the rest of this reference. Every tool is in English and Spanish, prints cleanly, works on a phone, and needs no login. Free to use, adapt and share. Each carries its version date; none is legal advice, and none promises an inspection result.
Inspection Report Decoder
Pick the county's label from your report, or paste the inspector's words, and get the plain-English meaning, the Food Code section behind it, what a correction looks like, who fixes it, and which record proves it.
Pest Records Binder
A printable, inspector-ready logbook: sightings log, service-visit record, corrective-action log, monitor and station map, delivery-inspection log, and staff sign-off. Organized so a manager can hand it to an inspector, an insurer or a lawyer and let it speak.
Station-by-Station Self-Inspection Checklist
Walk the kitchen the way an inspector does, station by station, in ten minutes a week and two minutes a day. Each item is a place a pest line on a Salt Lake County report comes from.
"I Saw a Pest" Response Card
One page for the host stand and one for the line. What to do, in order, in the first hour, and what to say.
Exclusion Walk
Doors, screens, gaps, pipe penetrations, drains and vents, measured against what the Food Code and the biology actually say: a quarter inch admits a mouse, a half-inch door gap admits a young rat, a 16-mesh screen keeps out flying insects.
Questions to Ask Your Pest Control Company, and a Model Scope of Work
Twelve neutral questions a restaurant manager can ask any pest control company, including the one it already has, and a model scope of work for a food-service pest program. No company is graded here, and no company is recommended.
Five-Minute Staff Training
What every cook, dishwasher, server and host needs to know about pests, in five minutes, with a sign-off line. Read it aloud at a pre-shift; it is written to be read.
Delivery Inspection Card
What to check on incoming boxes, produce, pallets and equipment before they come inside. The Food Code's first duty under Controlling Pests is inspecting incoming shipments; this card is that duty on one page.
Inspection Data Dashboard
The aggregate findings from Salt Lake County's public food-inspection records: how common pest lines are, by type of business, by county label, by what inspectors write, by month, what comes back, and how pest lines relate to the score and to follow-ups. Snapshot dated; no restaurant identified.
