Hygiene & Sanitation

Very often an organisation's pest problems are largely due to hygiene and sanitation issues. For this reason a Sanitation and Hygiene Programme is included in our overall pest management offer, addressing any identified inadequacies and subsequently assisting in the reduction of pest problems.

Hygiene assessments run alongside the pest management programme rather than as a separate engagement. The same senior team that designs the pest programme reviews the hygiene gaps, because they are usually looking at the same root causes from different angles.

Hygiene programme development

What the programme covers

Hygiene programmes from EcoPest cover the operational hygiene chain: receiving and goods-in, waste and refuse handling, drainage, food and ingredient storage, equipment cleaning protocols, staff hygiene practices, and building envelope integrity (the entry points that make pest control a never-ending battle if left alone).

How it integrates with pest management

Hygiene assessments run alongside the pest management programme. The same senior team that designs the pest programme reviews the hygiene gaps, because they're usually looking at the same root causes from different angles. Recommendations sit in the same file the regulator will eventually want to read.

Documentation

We write or amend the relevant cleaning and hygiene procedures, with documentation that fits existing HACCP or GMP frameworks where the client operates against either. Where the facility has nothing in place, we build the programme from scratch with the standards in mind from day one.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Why do you bundle hygiene into the pest programme?
Because the two are the same problem in most facilities. A clean site does not need quarterly cockroach treatments. A site that needs quarterly cockroach treatments usually has a sanitation issue feeding the activity. We address that directly rather than running a treatment cycle in perpetuity.
What does a hygiene assessment look at?
Receiving and goods-in, waste and refuse handling, drainage, food and ingredient storage, equipment cleaning protocols, staff hygiene practices, building envelope integrity (pest entry points), and the documentation that backs all of the above.
Do you write the cleaning procedures, or work with our existing ones?
Either. Most facilities already have something. We review what is there, identify what is missing or out of date, and provide the additional procedures or amendments that close the gaps. Where nothing exists, we will write the programme from scratch.
