What should be removed from the establishment to avoid attracting pests?

Removing garbage from an establishment is crucial in preventing pest attraction. Garbage can serve as a prime food source for pests such as rodents, insects, and other unwanted creatures. When trash accumulates, it can emit odors that attract pests, creating an environment that encourages their presence. By managing garbage properly—ensuring it is disposed of regularly and stored in sealed containers—businesses can significantly reduce the likelihood of infestations.

While food waste also attracts pests, the broader category of garbage encompasses not just food but also other waste materials that could provide a habitat or nourishment for pests. Therefore, maintaining clean and organized garbage disposal practices is an essential step in pest management and food safety.
