Our Pest Management Process for Food Manufacturers
We have one main goal: to help protect your facility from pests. By taking a proactive approach, we work to minimize pest risks before they can threaten your operation, while also supporting your compliance with food safety regulations.
Here’s what you can expect when partnering with us:
Comprehensive inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection of your facility to identify pest activity, conditions that could lead to infestations, and potential non-compliance risks. With decades of experience in the food and beverage industry, our technicians know how to spot issues that could impact your audit readiness. We focus on prevention by using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles.
We prioritize methods to preventing pests rather than relying on chemical use; this includes removing attractants, sealing entry points, and maintaining hygienic conditions.
We collaborate closely with your production teams to advise on sanitation practices, waste handling, equipment maintenance, and facility repairs that can help meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and other food safety requirements.
Pest prevention and exclusion: Our prevention and monitoring strategies are designed to help you comply with industry standards such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) guidelines. Using targeted treatments and exclusion techniques, we work to block pest entry and reduce risk, supporting regulatory inspections and customer confidence.
