Common Pests in Food Processing Plants

On top of maintaining your own high-quality standards, your processing facility is responsible to report to regulatory agencies and third-party auditors. Disease-spreading pests have no place in your operation. As part of Florida Pest Control’s food processing pest control program, our core pest package targets the culprits most likely to cause issues in food processing facilities. These include:

Our goal at Florida Pest Control is to create pest control programs for companies in the food industry that will help eradicate pest infestations, identify pest issues, and offer solutions to prevent future pest infestations. We want to help food-based businesses protect their reputation and prevent any food safety problems customers might experience. Some of the steps in our food processing pest control program include the following.

We will provide you with regular support by discussing when it’s time to contact professionals and what can be done to prevent pests from coming back.

Integrated Bird Management for Food Processing Facilities

Large buildings with safe areas to roost and potential food sources make food processing facilities attractive environments for birds. And while birds may seem harmless, their droppings and feathers can carry and transmit over 60 diseases. Florida Pest Control’s Integrated Bird Management Program safely and humanely solves nuisance bird issues through targeted exclusion techniques, focusing on the areas of your food processing environment most susceptible to bird activity.

Preventing Flies in Food Processing Facilities

For food processors, flies are more than a nuisance, they are a threat to public health and serious business risk. Flies spread germs wherever they land, transmitting dangerous bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, and E. coli and contaminating products and production surfaces. Because of this, auditors are especially strict on fly issues, and their presence can result in costly production shutdowns, fines, and loss of business.

Florida Pest Control begins on the exterior of your facility with a detailed environmental study to determine your facility’s unique fly pressures. Your specialist will institute a comprehensive fly baiting program to target fly hot spots, such as dumpster areas, to kill flies before they have a chance to invade your facility. With Florida Pest Control, you’ll have a complete solution that complements your existing pest prevention programs and keeps your facility audit-ready at all times.

Pantry Pest Control For Food Processing Facilities

Facilities that handle dried foods and grains can be the target of stored products or pantry pest infestations. To deal with stored product insect issues such as Indian meal moths, warehouse beetles, almond moths, and red and confused flour beetles, Florida Pest Control has developed targeted service protocols. Your service specialist will conduct a detailed inspection, focusing on production and storage areas. In addition, we will work with your staff to give them the right tools to prevent issues from recurring, building a solid defense against stored product insects at your facility.

Reliable Food Processing Facility Pest Control

In addition to helping food processing facilities put a halt to pest infestations, Florida Pest Control offers a disinfection service that can help your facility reduce the risks associated with COVID-19.
