Sanitation Tips
New Year’s is a great time to undertake some of those sanitation tasks that we all put off. One of the easiest ways to control pests is to prevent infestations from the start. Maintaining a high level of sanitation can help to deter pests from entering any building. Use this helpful information as a guide to assist in obtaining a greater level of cleanliness.
- Keep lunchroom & kitchen counters and cabinets clean. Clean up spills, crumbs and food scraps.
- Do not store opened food materials in desks, cupboards or pantries, as they may attract pests. Store opened food products in containers with tight-fitting lids.
