📋 **Pest Inspection Checklist: E-F-W-S-M**
Published
A systematic inspection helps identify pest risks before they become major problems.
Use the **E-F-W-S-M** approach:
🔹 **E – Entry Points** Doors, windows, pipe gaps, wall openings, damaged screens and dock areas.
🔹 **F – Food Sources** Food spills, crumbs, residues, open food and production waste.
🔹 **W – Water Sources** Leaking pipes, floor water, condensation, drains and humid areas.
🔹 **S – Shelter / Harborage** Clutter, cardboard, wooden pallets, equipment gaps and false ceilings.
🔹 **M – Monitoring Devices** Glue boards, rodent stations, insect traps and regular monitoring records.
A good inspection identifies the **source of the problem—not just the pest.**
