PREVRA Pest Control Template: Your Complete Pest Management Plan for SFBB Compliance
A structured template covering contractor visits, bait station mapping, pest sighting logs, and corrective actions. Keeps your pest control records inspection-ready at all times.
Why a documented pest plan is non-negotiable
An EHO inspection that finds pest activity without a documented management plan will almost certainly result in a hygiene rating of 2 or below. The legal requirement is not simply to control pests — it is to demonstrate that you have a systematic, documented approach to doing so. Your pest control contractor invoices are not enough. The FSA expects to see your own internal monitoring records alongside contractor reports.
A surprising fact most operators miss: a single mouse produces up to 80 droppings per day. What looks like a minor issue in week one represents hundreds of contamination events by the time it is noticed. Your template is the early-warning system that catches the first few droppings, not the hundreds.
Building a pest management routine with this template
Complete the contactor details section with your pest control provider's information, visit frequency, and insurance details. Map all bait stations on a site plan and number each one. Log every contractor visit with findings and recommendations. Maintain the internal sighting log between contractor visits — this is the record an EHO will scrutinise most closely.
With digital SFBB, your bait station map becomes interactive. Staff log sightings from a phone with location and photo evidence. The system flags repeat sightings at the same station so you can escalate before your next contractor visit. Your EHO sees trend data, not just isolated entries.
Pest control errors that trigger enforcement
Relying solely on contractor reports without internal monitoring. Bait stations placed where they cannot be checked because equipment blocks access. Failing to rotate rodenticide types, which leads to bait shyness — rodents learn to avoid a poison they have survived before.
