Guidance 075 Pest Control

5. The Frequency of Inspection of Rodent Traps Inside Buildings used for


production, testing, and/or storage of items listed above and rodent traps used
outside such buildings should not exceed one month.

6. The Frequency of Inspection, Emptying and Cleaning of Bug Lights should not
exceed one month. Inspection frequencies should be increased whenever
conditions, such as seasonal increases in insect population, warrant it. Bug light
bulbs should be changed annually and positioned to avoid attracting outdoor
insects toward the building.

7. Where Installed, Air Curtains should be tested for proper performance upon
installation. Periodically, at least monthly, air curtains should be inspected to
confirm they are operating properly. One example of verifying proper operation is
the paper test (open the door, stand outside, toss paper and it should come back to
you).

8. Material Safety Data Sheets for each pest control chemical used should be
maintained and available at the Site for reference.

9. Periodic Inspections should be conducted at least annually by qualified pest


control experts to determine the effectiveness of pest control practices and
integrity of buildings at each Site.

10. Pest Control Contractor Agreements should require:


• Written evidence of the qualifications of the contractor firm and each
contractor employee;
• Schedules of treatments, inspections, and other services;
• Commitment to provide samples of pest control chemicals used at the Site,
when requested for analytical testing; and
• Commitment to provide written procedures for approval by the Site
Quality Team that describe the operating and reporting practices to be
followed by contractor employees, including those for spill cleanup and
other emergencies.

11. Building Openings should be screened and doorframes, window frames, and
openings for utility services sealed to prevent the ingress of insects or other pests.
Air handler intakes and exhausts should be designed to prevent entry of insects.

12. Steel Panel Buildings should be sealed at the footings, and all other seams
inspected and sealed as necessary to minimize the vulnerability of typical steel
panel construction to the entry of wall climbing insects and other pests.

13. Direct-Access Exterior Doors should be prohibited from production areas where
APIs, drug products, or medical devices may be exposed, or designated for
emergency use only.
