What is meant by monitoring in pest control?

Monitoring refers to the systematic surveillance of pest activity using bait stations, pheromone traps, or digital systems. The goal is to detect an infestation early and initiate targeted countermeasures.

How often should monitoring be carried out?

Depending on the company and risk analysis, monitoring can be monthly or quarterly. Monthly monitoring is standard practice in HACCP-compliant businesses.

What types of traps are used?

Sticky traps, bait stations, UV fly traps or digital detection systems, depending on the target organism and environment.

Does the monitoring need to be documented?

Yes. Complete documentation is mandatory, especially in food processing plants. It serves as proof for authorities and certifiers.

What happens if a pest infestation is discovered?

An immediate risk assessment is then conducted, the source of the infestation is located, and targeted measures are initiated. Affected customers are informed, and an intervention plan is developed.

Monitoring

Effective monitoring is the foundation of any professional pest prevention and control. It makes it possible to detect pest activity early, locate infestation sites, and react in a targeted manner before consequential damage occurs.
