There's loads of stuff I don't do at home that I used to do in commercial kitchens. I don't wipe down the fridge/freezer seals every day. I don't mop my kitchen floor twice a day (at least). I don't have separate sinks for washing hands (i.e. non food prep sink).
The closest I've come is to try and introduce day dotting, but I can't get the other residents on board with this. Mostly it's just a visual inspection and the sniff test.
The BBC article is a little wayward in places. Having traps isn't evidence of a rodent problem. Places rated a 5 should have them, you have a rodent problem if they ever catch anything. In the 10+ years I worked in commercial kitchens I never saw anything in any of the traps and Rentokil would be round regularly to check on the traps, replace them and report if they had ever even had anything close to a nibble let alone a dead rodent.
