Florida Food Manager Practice Test

To reduce pest shelter, equipment should be elevated from the floor by at least how many inches?

2 inches (5 cm) 4 inches (10 cm) 8 inches (20 cm) 6 inches (15 cm)

Correct Answer:

6 inches (15 cm)

Explanation:

Reducing pest shelter comes from removing hiding places around and under equipment. Elevating equipment at least six inches off the floor creates a physical barrier that pests can’t easily cross, making it harder for them to access the unit. This clearance also makes cleaning underneath and around the equipment much easier and helps prevent moisture and debris from accumulating, which can attract pests. Eight inches would also meet the goal, but six inches is the minimum required.
