Pest Control Management
What is Pest Control Management?
Pest control management is the process of identifying, preventing, controlling, and eliminating a pest problem (rodents, insects, etc.) and may or may not include the use of chemicals.
Pest Control Management and Chillies
- Chillies are very susceptible to attack by a variety of pests which can reduce their yield, safety and/or quality making the management and control of pests at every step of the supply chain critical.
- During cultivation and storage chillies can be attacked by birds, rodents and insects so a variety of interventions are required.
How does the Chilli Doctor Technical Team Ensure Pest Control Management?
- Knowledge of the supply chain and the threats from pests at each step.
- Approving suppliers who can demonstrate that pest control management is robust from farm to factory including all transport steps.
- Checking for the presence of pest infestation before and during off-loading and before storage.
- Ensuring the external provider of pest management services is a member of the British Pest Control Association.
- Assuring that relevant staff are trained to recognise and report any signs of pest activity.
