Food Processing Industry

Food processing facilities routinely attract pests and help in their survival. This is because large amounts of products enter a plant on a daily basis. Therefore, these facilities undergo regular food-safety audits, often requested by customers to evaluate any performed pest management program.

Food Processing facilities at risk for many pests because (1) resources for pest survival are present in these facilities (food, water, and heat), (2) product receiving areas are the main entry point for pests, where food traffic in and out of these facilities allow the pests to enter in easily, and (3) presence of hiding places and crevices (such as display cases, shelves, false ceilings, and floors) that protect pests.

Failure to control pests by pest control operators in food processing facilities can lead to serious consequences and concerns. Legal consequences because failure to control pests leads to fines, closure of the premises, fines, and prosecutions. Also, the discovery of a single pest in the hospitality facilities can prevent customers from entering or e-entering these facilities (reputation or poor publicity concern). Therefore, cleanliness is imperative for customer acquisition and retention.
