How do you deny pest access?

  1. Use pesticides regularly

  2. Cover up holes

  3. Keep lights on

  4. Spray with water

The correct answer is: Cover up holes

Pests can be a significant health risk in a food establishment. One of the most effective ways to deny pests access is by covering up any holes or entry points that pests might use to get into the facility. By sealing off these entry points, you can prevent pests from entering the establishment and potentially contaminating the food or food preparation areas. Regular use of pesticides may not be necessary if proper preventive measures are taken. Keeping lights on does not necessarily deter pests, and spraying with water will not effectively prevent pests from entering the facility. Therefore, the correct answer is to cover up holes to deny pest access.
