Sheds without cargo have daily baiting and trapping procedures. A routine fogging of the transit sheds is performed on a weekly basis with an approved insecticide. Bait is placed under the docks on a monthly basis. All baits are approved by the EPA. All transit sheds are inspected monthly (without prior notice) by a USDA inspector.
