Pest birds in facilities handling food cause considerableproduct safety risks: - Possible product contamination (bird droppings/feathers); - Inspection failure; - Secondary insect pest problems; - Foodborne illness pathogens; - Heavy fines; - Possible plant closure. [!\[integratedbirdmanagementaudit1\](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/images/integratedbirdmanagementaudit1.jpg)](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/images/integratedbirdmanagementaudit1.jpg) There are several components to developing an IBM program. A complete inspection of the interior/exterior of the facility will be followed by a review of current data as well as any historical bird data. With this information we will be able to design and implement an IBM for your facility. Regular review of the program and periodic adjustments will ensure that the program stays current and relevant to changing needs and circumstance. A checklist may look something likt this: Interior - Active Birds inside Facility List areas and locations (eg. Food prep area, warehouse, etc.) - Any history of birds and related areas - Interior Landscaping List types and necessity - Food Processing Areas Are control measures in place? Assess risk level - Doors Bay Doors, gaps, bumpers Staff habits (doors left open) - Additional Access Point(s)Check other areas where equipment may enter/exit - Pipe-Line Penetrations - Sanitation - Conducive Conditions Locations with standing water Locations with food sources Debris - Bird Droppings or Nesting Materials - Staff feeding birds Exterior - List areas and locations of birds (eg. Rear loading dock, etc.) - Any history of birds around the exterior of the facility and adjacent structures Review - Sanitation Practices (Exterior) Location(s): Dumpsters Exposed food sources and spillage - Trash ReceptaclesTrash removal frequency Food waste on grounds Cleaning practices and schedule - Structural (Exterior) Pipe-line penetrations Flashing Pipes Openings Roof Roof hatches Windows Canopy or Awning Signage - Landscaping Retention ponds - Bird droppings or nesting materials - Exterior storage - Merchandise displaysExisting Bird Control Devices We are here to help you deal with [Pest Bird Control](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/toronto-pest-bird-control) and avoid potential [health hazards](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/pest-birds-health-hazards), costly [damage to property](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/pest-birds-physical-damage), and loss of product and/or productivity (especially in the food and healthcare sectors) if pest birds are not addressed immediately.
