What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Sightings, monitoring points and visits, recorded in one place so a pattern is visible.

No products or treatments are named. No product, bait or treatment is named anywhere on this sheet. What may be used, by whom and with what record differ by country and by the kind of premises, and a great deal of it is restricted to licensed operators. This is a record of what was seen and what was done. What must be tested or recorded, how often, by whom and how long the record must be kept differ by country and by the kind of premises. This sheet prints no interval and no criterion, names no scheme and satisfies no regulation on its own.
