Pest Records Binder

1. Sightings log

One line per sighting, by anyone, anywhere on the premises. This page proves you knew; the next pages prove what you did.

2. Service-visit record

One line per visit by your pest control company. File the technician's own report behind this page. The report must show the product, its EPA registration number, the amount, the target site and pest, and the applicator's license number; if it does not, ask for one that does.

3. Corrective-action log

One line for every pest line on a county report and every sighting that needed a fix. In Salt Lake County, critical items are corrected at the time of inspection or within 10 days by agreement; non-critical items within 30 days (Health Regulation #5, § 7.3.2). Write the date the Department set.

4. Monitor and station map

Sketch the floor plan in the box, number every monitor, glue board, snap trap and bait station, and log the count at every check. A station that reads zero for three months is a building that is sealed; a station that climbs is a work order.

Floor plan (number each device; mark the back door, dish area, dry storage, walk-in, bar, line, restrooms, dumpster):

5. Delivery-inspection log

The Food Code's first duty under Controlling Pests is inspecting incoming shipments (6-501.111(A)). One line per delivery; note what was refused and why.

6. Staff sign-off

Each employee signs after the five-minute training: report sightings, never spray, do not touch devices, remove dead pests and wipe the area, keep the back door closed.
