Commercial Pest Control Checklist
Use this checklist to inspect an office or commercial building for pest risk and to verify that the pest control vendor’s monthly service was actually done. It follows integrated pest management thinking: deny pests food, water and entry first, then monitor and treat, and keep records that show what was found and fixed.

How to run this checklist well
- Ask the vendor to photograph each bait station at every visit; a dated photo is the simplest proof the round was walked.
- Put a QR code on every bait station so checks are logged by location, which makes it easy to spot hotspots over months.
- Spend most effort on proofing and sanitation; treatment alone rarely fixes a recurring problem.
- Let staff report sightings through a QR or helpdesk request so you capture location and time rather than corridor complaints.
- Review the vendor’s report within a day of each visit and turn every recommendation into an owned action.
Frequently asked questions
How often should pest control be done in an office?
Most offices schedule a general service monthly, with rodent monitoring checked at each visit and additional visits when activity is reported. Food courts and large pantries may need more frequent attention. Base the schedule on risk and on the activity your monitoring shows, not just a fixed calendar.
What is integrated pest management?
IPM treats spraying as the last step, not the first. The building team closes gaps, fixes leaks and clears food waste and cardboard so pests have little reason to stay; the vendor maintains a numbered set of monitors to show where activity is starting; chemicals go only where the monitors point. Fewer products are used and infestations come back less often.
What should a pest control service report include?
A useful report lists the date and technician, areas inspected, activity found at each station or location, treatments and products used, and recommendations for proofing or sanitation. The facility team should sign off, track recommendations to closure and keep reports on file for audits.
