What is a pest control template?

This template facilitates the systematic tracking of pest types, control methods, actions taken, frequency of those actions, corrective measures, and the individuals responsible for each task. It helps ensure that pest control measures are consistently applied and effective, safeguarding the facility against infestation risks.
