🛡️ **Pest Control's Role in HACCP**

In a food processing or manufacturing facility, pest management should be based on **Integrated Pest Management (IPM)**. A strong IPM program includes: 🔍 **Inspection & Monitoring** – Identify pest activity, harborage areas and risk conditions. 🚧 **Prevention** – Remove food, water, shelter and possible entry points. 🎯 **Control** – Use physical, mechanical, biological or chemical control methods when necessary. 📋 **Documentation** – Maintain inspection, monitoring, treatment and corrective-action records. 🔄 **Review & Improvement** – Regularly evaluate the pest management program and improve it. The goal is not merely to control pests—it is to **prevent pest-related contamination.** \#IPM #HACCP #PestManagement #FoodSafety #PestControl #IntegratedPestManagement
