Which of the following is NOT a method to prevent food pest infestations?

Storing food in the attic is not a method to prevent food pest infestations. Generally, attics are not suitable locations for food storage due to their often uncontrolled environment, which may be hot, humid, or even prone to pest activity. Such conditions can attract various pests, like rodents or insects, which can lead to contamination and spoilage of food items.

In contrast, sealing food containers helps create a barrier against pests, preventing them from accessing food supplies. Regularly cleaning storage areas reduces the presence of crumbs or spills that may attract pests, and monitoring for warning signs of infestation allows for early detection and intervention before a full-blown infestation occurs. These methods are proactive approaches to pest management, aiming to keep food safe and pest-free.
