Summary
In short
- A pest control environmental review is a review used in KnowEnviro that reviews pest control activity for its environmental effect, covering rodenticide use, non target species and bait station placement. It is built against ISO 14001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Environmental Management programme.
- Run yearly with the contractor. Permanent baiting is increasingly restricted and needs justification.
- The template holds 48 fields across 6 sections.
- Scoring is compliant use, where high is good.
- ISO 14001 is environmental management systems. The international standard for managing environmental aspects, obligations and impacts. Certifiable.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Pest control, Biodiversity.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for

- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Environmental Management programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links pest control, biodiversity
Not for
- Environmental Noise Assessment, which assesses noise leaving the site boundary against limits and background levels, including night time.
- Light Pollution Assessment, which assesses external lighting for spill, glare and sky glow affecting neighbours and wildlife.
- Anything outside KnowEnviro, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the pest control environmental review library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
