OBJECT AND SCOPE

Objectives

Develop and implement activities for prevention, control, and elimination of

pests and rodents.
Prevent food from spoiling easily, leading to changes in
its characteristics (color, odor, texture) and preservation.

Scope

The implementation of the pest and rodent control program allows

prevent and control the infestation caused by pest activity,
through the application of different control measures allowing to create
better sanitary conditions in the preparation, storage and
transport of the products.

CONSIDERATIONS

Pests pose a great threat to people's health, safety, and

food aptitude. The chances of infestation can be minimized
through good sanitation, the inspection of the materials introduced and a
good surveillance, thereby limiting the need for the use of chemical products. The plan
Pest and rodent maintenance must be comprehensive and include all the
strategies for achieving proper pest management. Integral is understood as
the implementation of the set of physical, chemical, and management operations for

Let us remember that insects and rodents need environments that provide them:

Humidity
Food
Refuge
Pests are considered those that affect the quality of the product by contaminating it.

To prevent its development, actions must be taken into account.
the following measures, which must be carried out continuously.

Do not leave food or waste inside the premises.

Clean all food remnants on surfaces or areas at the end of each day.
Clean the grease retained in the cleaning areas.
Sweep the floors, including under the tables and machines, especially
near the walls.
Clean the drains.
Clean all standing water and beverage spills every night.
Collect dirty rags, aprons, napkins, and tablecloths. Wash the items of
frequently fabric.
Do not store things in cardboard boxes and on the floor.

Do not leave the garbage for long periods of time.

The implementation of these actions creates adverse conditions which makes it difficult
the development of the various pests.
CLASSIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION

In general, urban pests can be classified as:

Public Health: Vectors and Rodents, When they are habitual vectors of
diseases and/or carriers of pathogenic germs, (rodents, flies,
mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas, lice) or when they are internal or external parasites
of human beings.
Industrial of stored products or agricultural activities such as production
of food or common in gardens and green areas.
Circumstantial bats, pigeons, spiders, scorpions, vipers, and fauna
wild that match rural places or close to natural ecosystems.

TYPES OF CONTROLS

Physical barriers and mechanical devices:

In addition to preventive actions, control measures are important.
physical. This consists of exclusion actions of pests in the areas of
manipulation and elaboration.
The use of different non-chemical elements for the capture of insects, such as
for example UV light traps for flying insects, sticky traps or
insect or rodent adhesives and air curtains are considered
physical actions.
Another type of barrier is the control of weeds in peri-domiciliary areas or
access roads. The holes of the drains, siphons, and other places through which
Those that can allow pests to penetrate must be kept tightly closed.
Through protective barriers such as metal nets or mosquito nets, placed by
example in open windows, doors, and ventilation openings, is
it will reduce the problem of pest entry. Special attention will be paid to the
bird activity, it is necessary to prevent them from nesting near the service of
feeding.
Chemical control.
The treatment with chemical products (baits, insecticides) must be carried out from
in a way that does not pose a threat to people and safety or suitability
of the food. The application of chemicals must be carried out by personnel
suitable and qualified for this purpose. Remember that improper handling and/or
the application of these products can bring along problems of
poisonings. The combat measures that include treatment with agents
chemical, physical or biological substances should only be applied under the direct supervision of the
responsible professional authorized by the competent authority. They must
maintain appropriate records of pesticide use.

foundations, drainage systems, blind wells, pipes, and upper angles of roofs
of basements. They generally feed on decomposing materials,
glues, papers, fabrics, syrups, and candies among others. The species

Sexually, the females carry an ootheca in their abdomen for several
days or weeks and they abandon it shortly before the hatching of the eggs.
Nymphs undergo a molting process that can take from 5 to
7 stages. Behavior: they are gregarious insects, if needed.
they practice cannibalism due to the lack of food, a fact that they take advantage of

from 4 to 10 days, in order to form the pupa. This stage can last from one day
and several weeks. When she is ready for adulthood, she rises to the surface
from the water and abandons the pupal skin. Almost all species move
actively in the water.

FORMS OF APPLICATION AND CONTROL
SPRAYING: For surface applications residual effect, with
appropriate manual equipment for fumigations against crawling insects,
in areas where fumigation needs to be localized.

MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF RODENTS

Norwegian rat (Rattus norvegicus): Large rodent, weighs 560

he lives in the sewer in a system of burrows that is always
perimeter around the buildings, especially in those places that
they manage or store food. It is responsible for the deterioration of the
installations, consumes 25 grams of food daily and is a carrier of a
important pathological load that is usually transmitted through its saliva. It
presents infestation of rats and mice due to the management of environments that
creates favorable conditions for proliferation such as disorder in the
facilities, inadequate cleaning and sanitation conditions, weeds
surrounding housing debris from unused elements in the open air.
Its fur, urine, saliva, and feces are highly contaminating.

body, weighing 150 to 200 grams, pointed snout, large ears and
small body compared to the guaren (Rattus norvegicus). Cycle of
life, from 5 to 10 offspring per litter, from 3 to 6 litters per year, the period of
gestation is about three weeks, it takes 12 to 16 weeks from its
birth to sexual maturity. They are agile and can climb walls,

new to those already known. Generally, they seek to settle near
food storage areas. They are territorial. They eat from a

between 3 and 4 grams of food daily. Cereals and various seeds are their
preferred food.
THE RATS CONTROL IS CARRIED OUT AS FOLLOWS:
NON-TOXIC MEASURES (ADHESIVE TRAPS): The traps

glue inside where the rodents are attracted by a
natural bait or attractive product.
TOXIC MEASURES (FEEDING STATIONS): Container
