The visit may be for one of several reasons:

Electric Bug Zapper

EHO Visit? - Don't Panic!

i) Routine inspection: this may be because it has been some time since your establishment was last inspected or it may be because your business is new

EHO Visit? - Don't Panic!

ii) Follow-up inspection: as a way of checking that problems found in a previous inspection or as a result of a complaint from a member of the public or staff have been corrected or are in the process of being corrected.

iii) EHOs will sometimes visit a food establishment for other reasons such as carrying out surveys or providing advice as part of a wider project

These are the main tips to remember when you are asked to make an appointment with an EHO:

1. Don't panic! Firstly checklist the most basic requirements:

1.1 Washrooms are fully equipped and clean

1.2 Ensure all food handlers have the correct clothing including head gear. There must be some spare protective clothing for staff as well as visitors including the EHO him/herself.

1.3 Clean all surfaces including in cupboards and fridges/freezers

1.4 Make sure you have sufficient air-tight containers for holding and separating left over food

1.5 Ensure that fly killers, rat traps and other pest control measures are fully functional and ready

1.6 Ensure there is adequate space and facilities to enable proper separation of cooked and raw food

1.7 Ensure all cooking utensils not in use are clean

1.8 Ensure there are spare clean cloths ready for use

1.9 Check all food handler's qualifications Make sure this information is up do date and easily accessible

1.10 Make sure that no food is on the floor or on a floor-level pallet.

2. Temperature Control

2.1 Make sure you have a temperature probe thermometer and ideally a surface thermometer. You may be expected to take the temperature of food at various points in the cycle such as at the point of delivery, whilst in refrigerated storage, or prior to preparation or despatch.

2.2. You may need to keep records of temperatures. If you have not kept such records previously do not be tempted to fabricate historical records. EHOs are generally very good at spotting this kind of thing and all you will do is lose their trust. The best thing to do is start the records from today and tell the EHO the truth, if asked, that you only started the records because of the impending visit. Even if you are prosecuted, an EHO would be pleased to reflect such honesty to a court and this may reduce the severity of any punishment.

2.3 Make sure you have the maintenance record of all fridges to hand. If you cannot find any, contact an engineer and have them serviced. You should be able to arrange an express service if this is required

3. Pest Control

3.1 Ensure that any pest control contracts are up to date. Appraise yourself of the last pest controller visit date and the contents of the report. Ensure that all points from the report are actioned.

3.2 Ensure there is proper insect screening on any open windows or doorways

3.3 Check when you (or the pest controller) last changed the UV lamps in your fly killer machine. If this was done more than 12 months ago ensure, place an urgent order for more. Most companies that sell fly killers will provide an overnight delivery surface of new lamps and for that matter replacement fly killers.

3.4 Ensure that fly killers are fitted with shatterproof lamps if you are preparing open food. Also ensure that the fly killers are not directly above food

3.5 Look for any evidence of rodent infestation. If any is found and the traps are functioning, call the pest control company. Most will come out at short notice

4. Housekeeping

4.1 Check your orders of cleaning supplies such as anti-bacterial hand-wash. The last thing you need is to run out of any such products when the EHO visits

4.2 There must be a cleaning schedule and some form of inspection, as well as records to show that the cleaning and inspections were carried out

4.3 Ensure that cleaning chemicals are all labelled. If any labels have come off, either apply your own label if you can identify what it is, or dispose of the chemical responsibly. Ensure that cleaning tools, cloths and chemicals are away from food and also ensure that cloths used for food preparation surfaces are not mixed with cloths and mops used for the floor

4.4 Ensure that all food is labelled and has a use-by date where appropriate. It is vital that at least one person on site knows the history of all food o the premises. If the EHO finds a full container in the fridge labelled 'mayo' with no other information and nobody can tell him or her how long it has been there or how it got to be there, then this will be a black mark against your establishment

4.5 Make sure bins are emptied before that become full and that waste awaiting collection in the yard is properly covered

5. Staff/Training

5.1 You must have an up to date record of all staff training/certificates. This must be laid out clearly and be easily accessible. Once again, if you have just decided to start these records do not fabricate historical entries. Apart from the fact that this action would most likely be unlawful if it was intended to be viewed by an EHO, it would most likely be spotted by the EHO and you would lose their trust. The EHO would not be impressed that you had only just started to keep records but they would be outraged if you had fabricated them. You are advised to treat the EHO with respect at all times.

5.2 Relying on training records is only part of the story. Even if all of your food handling staff and ancillary staff such as cleaners have all been trained in food handling and all have the correct paperwork it is still your job as the boss to ensure that they are carrying out their duties correctly. Time may be short before an EHO visit, but you must ensure that each member of staff is fully aware of what is required in order to comply with food handling requirements. There is nothing worse than showing an EHO a complete set of training records while a member of staff can be seen placing raw meat above cooked meat in the fridge.

5.3 You must be firm on this. If any member of staff does not come up to the grade you will need to ensure that they received intense training or counselling and even formal disciplinary action. This must also be recorded. In this case, if the EHO has spotted this particular member of staff doing something that will compromise food safety you will have some defence if you can show records of the action you have already taken to deal with it.

5.4 You must ensure that you staff are free of any illness or infections that could compromise food safety. You need to ensure that a record of such diseases is kept (confidentially in the employee's record) and, if necessary they are relieved of food handling duties or even sent home. Once again you must not make up any historical records.

5.5 Hand-washing, head-covering, clean uniforms and dirty cloths are all extremely important. EHOs will be looking out for regular hand washing between tasks and will want to ensure that cloths are regularly sterilised or disposed of rather than being reused. Head covering/hair containment is vital for food handlers (well for those that have hair!) as this is very visible and obvious. A dirty uniform is also an obvious and highly visible problem.

5.6 At least one member of staff (more than one if you have many staff) will need to be qualified to train others in food handling

6. Things that you cannot correct before the visit

6.1 Do you have interior window ledges that do not slope? Make a note of it

6.2 Are there some cracks in tiles and in some walls and floors? Are there cracks in the sink? Make a detailed note of these problems

6.3 Do some doors or windows not close properly? Make a note

6.4 A few of your staff have not been fully trained in food handling? Give them other duties for now (away from food). If this is not practical provide some in-house training for now and ensure you record the training that you gave them and when it was carried out.

As long as you have these problems in hand and they are on your 'to do' list, you will minimise the likelihood of the EHO inspection going bad for you. If you have made a date with the building contractor to have the window ledges sloped, cracked repaired, tiles replaced, doors mended and have booked up training sessions for your staff, you can hopefully satisfy the EHO that you are on the case.

As I said, don't panic. Also, do not lie or falsify records. Work through this list. Ensure your staff are fully briefed on all the issues and the importance of a good EHO inspection. The EHO does not expect a flawless inspection. In fact, if they observe pristine conditions and utter perfection that may be a little suspicious. What they want to see is the basics done well such as hair covered and hands washed, records kept and a list of those issues that have still to be in the process of being dealt with, even if this is just a 'to do' list.

An EHO visit can give you some commercial advantage. Apart from the obvious one of not appearing in court for some misdemeanour there is the fact that you will be left alone to get on with running your business. In some jurisdictions, where a 'scores-on-doors' system operates, a successful EHO inspection may bring in more business.

Bed Bugs Treatment Starts With Prevention

Electric Bug Zapper

Bed Bugs Treatment - How to Get Rid of Them Step-By-Step

The best way to prevent a bed bug infestation is to keep them from getting into your home.

Bed Bugs Treatment - How to Get Rid of Them Step-By-Step

Unfortunately, bed bugs are becoming a global problem, and since these little critters are fast and invasive, it can be tough to keep them out.

When you travel, bring a flashlight. Check the mattress where you're staying for any small dark stains. Look in the crevices of the mattress, and the seams. Check carefully. It is unlikely that you'll see a bug, but you may see evidence of them. They will leave dark (blood) stains when they get crushed as the previous person rolled over, or they may simply leave excrement.

Either way, they're gross.

If you see evidence of bed bugs, leave the room immediately. If you can't leave, then make sure that your luggage is placed in the bathtub or elevated off the floor. This way the insects can't climb into your suitcase and hitch a ride to your home.

Don't leave any clothing or other items on the floor where insects can hitch an easy ride to your house.

Bed Bugs Habits and Bite Evidence

I have a friend who is an exterminator. In talking with him the other day, he said that he had recently attended a symposium for exterminators. He told me, "Bed bugs are bad news. I'd take cockroaches any day over a bed bugs infestation."

This is because effective insect treatment is not just a simple application of chemical. This is going to take some careful effort on your part to eradicate them.

Bed bugs sleep during the day and come out at night to feed on blood. Humans are a favorite target, although they will also feed on dogs and cats. They are fast little creatures who can hide in a space as small as the thickness of a credit card. These insects at maturity measure about ¼ inch long.

Picture a bug about the length of a single grain of rice.

Evidence of an infestation can include bites on your person. They will typically feed in a small area, injecting an anti-coagulant substance under the skin to allow your blood to flow easily. You will generally see a small localized area of several bites on your skin to indicate the presence of these insects.

Bed Bugs Treatment Step #1

First, remove any clutter. You'll want easy access to anyplace that bugs can hide.

Bed bugs treatment starts with a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. You're going to vacuum everything! You need a vacuum that has a long hose and a crevice attachment.

Start by vacuuming where you've seen evidence of the critters, like the mattress seams and cracks. Pull the mattress off the box springs and vacuum them carefully as well as underneath the bed. Take apart the bed frame to remove any hiding places.

Vacuum the cracks where the carpet meets the wall, and anywhere you can see evidence of bugs. Bed bugs have been found to hide behind loose wallpaper, switchplate covers, and even behind baseboard, so you may want to remove these to vacuum behind them.

Check out furniture too, because these insects can live in sofas and chairs as easily as they can live in mattresses. You won't see many bugs, but your vacuum cleaner "offense" will suck up any eggs that may be waiting to hatch.

Once you've vacuumed every possible hiding place, take the vacuum outside and remove the bag. If you can incinerate the bag, do so. If not, place the bag inside a plastic garbage bag, tie it securely and dispose of immediately.

Bed Bugs Treatment Step #2

Rent or buy a steam cleaning machine.

The steam must get very hot, because bed bugs can withstand temperatures of up to 113 degrees. Try to get the steam at least 120 degrees.

Steam clean everything that you've just vacuumed in the previous step. Clean mattresses, box springs, sofa, chairs, furniture, carpet and baseboards. Don't miss anything!

If even one female (egg-laying) bug is missed, you could find yourself dealing with a whole new bed bug infestation.

Wash all clothing and bedding in HOT water. Warm or cool water is not enough to kill these insects. Wash coats and purses, anything that could even remotely harbor a bug. Wash rugs and blankets. Steam clean your carpet.

Bed Bugs Treatment Step #3

This is the chemical and/or pesticide step.

Chemicals can be caustic and cause health problems, so you'll want to check with your local exterminator to see what he or she would recommend.

If you have items that cannot be washed, say a computer, cell phone or other appliance, there's a product called "Nuvan Strips" that can be placed inside a plastic bag along with your item. The bag is sealed and the Nuvan Strips will fumigate the inside of the bag, killing any insects that are hiding inside the computer.

The bag and strips typically take about 3 days to do the job.

One more natural alternative to chemicals is diatomaceous earth, or DE.

Diatomaceous earth is basically the ground-up shells of tiny prehistoric creatures. These shells are very sharp to insects. When a bug walks through DE, the sharp edges will cut them, causing them to bleed to death.

DE can also be used in your garden to combat other garden insects. DE is harmless to humans.

If you choose to use DE, sprinkle it liberally around the room you've been cleaning, once the mattress and other items are dry. Make sure to get it into the crevices and cracks of your mattress and other places where you've noticed the blood/fecal matter stains.

Bed Bugs Treatment Does Not Mean You're a Poor Housekeeper

Someone with a cockroach infestation can sometimes be stigmatized as "dirty," or a bad housekeeper.

Bed bugs, though, are not discriminating. They will attack the home of someone who is a fanatical housekeeper as quickly as they will someone who tends to be more cluttered or casual about cleaning.

If you've been the victim of an infestation, take heart. This doesn't mean that you aren't a clean person. It does mean that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, since bed bugs will hitch a ride anywhere looking for a fresh meal.

If you still haven't been able to eradicate your bug infestation even after this bed bugs treatment, then please check with your local exterminator.
