An effective pest control system is a pre-requisite to any site's operational system to protect the products on site. This guideline promotes best practice by exploring the elements to be considered when setting up, operating and monitoring a pest control system, whether this is provided by the site’s own staff or working in partnership with a contractor.

The guideline provides a framework for users to:

•           Consider the requirements for establishing a pest control policy

•           Identify requirements for preventing pest access to site

•           Provide guidance for control and monitoring of pests

•           Identify action required when an infestation occurs

•           Give guidance on how companies and pest control contractors can work together
