Why should foodservice operations hire a licensed Pest Control Operator (PCO)?
  1. A PCO knows which products are most effective for particular pests.
  2. A PCO knows the pest control regulations in the region.
  3. A PCO knows what pests are currently active in the region.
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - Foodservice operations should hire a licensed Pest Control Operator for all of these reasons. It may be tempting to save money by handling pest control in-house, but hiring a PCO is the best and safest way to eliminate pests. A PCO is an expert on knowing when to apply which pesticides and the correct way to apply pesticides. Not all pesticides are approved for use in foodservice operations or for use within specific geographical areas.
