The abundance of food and shelter found inside food processing facilities makes them the ideal hideaway for pests like rodents, cockroaches, flies, and others. However, there is a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the presence of pests in these facilities. A singular pest can quickly grow into full-blown infestation, making it extremely important for facility managers to ensure that they have a year-round partnership with a reliable pest control company.
Food processing facilities are most susceptible to rodent, fly, cockroach, and stored product pest infestations as they provide ample food, shelter, and moisture. These pests are extremely worrisome for food processors, as they can contaminate food with their droppings and are known to spread many pathogens to humans, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
