It is well known that the scope of sanitation (or general cleaning and sanitization) is very broad, and can be defined as “the promotion of hygiene and prevention of disease by the maintenance of sanitary conditions; characterized by or kept in cleanliness”.  The concept of sanitation, as it relates to pest management, is simple: pests must have food, water, and harborage to survive. By maintaining sanitary conditions, eliminating the conducive areas, and concealing routes of movement for pests, we control pest populations. We definitely say that sanitation is pest control.
