We created this pest control inspection checklist template to help you maintain consistent, thorough documentation of pest monitoring activities across your facilities. Unlike general inspection forms, this template includes specific sections for examining structural vulnerabilities, sanitation issues, and monitoring device placement—the three areas most commonly overlooked during routine inspections.

When a health inspector questions your pest management program, you’ll have comprehensive records showing regular monitoring, complete with photo evidence and corrective actions taken. This systematic approach helps prevent the estimated $13 billion in annual losses that businesses face due to pest-related damages, according to the National Pest Management Association.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when conducting a pest control inspection using this template?

Focus on five key areas: entry points (cracks, gaps), food sources (storage practices), water sources (leaks, standing water), harborage areas (clutter, dark spaces), and existing evidence (droppings, damage). The template guides you through each area with specific checkpoints tailored to different facility zones.

How often should I complete this pest control inspection checklist?

Complete comprehensive inspections quarterly at minimum, with focused weekly checks in high-risk areas like food storage and waste management zones. Adjust frequency based on your facility’s history, seasonal pest pressure, and regulatory requirements for your industry.

What documentation should I include with my completed pest control inspection checklist?

Include dated photos of problem areas, specific location details, evidence of pest activity, corrective actions taken, and follow-up verification. This creates a defensible record for auditors and helps track patterns over time, while allowing you to address recurring issues more effectively.

What steps can I take if issues are found during a pest control inspection?

If your team identifies pest-related issues during an inspection, take immediate action. Assess the infestation’s extent and determine necessary control measures. Collaborate with a professional pest control service for effective solutions. Educate your team on preventive practices to avoid future infestations.
