Summary Monthly pest control services at both locations shall include thorough inspections to verify the effectiveness of the contractor’s pest management plan. Because different pests become active at various times of the year, each site visit and treatment provides an opportunity to confirm whether previous applications were successful, identify areas requiring retreatment or adjustment, and detect any new pest activity covered under the contract. These recurring inspections ensure ongoing control, timely response to emerging issues, and consistent protection of both facilities.
