Food Processing Plant & Facility Pest Control

Serving North Bay and East Bay Areas

The food processing industry has strict regulations and guidelines to follow when it comes to maintaining a clean, healthy environment, and for good reason! One failed inspection in any food processing plant or facility can lead to a shutdown, halt operations, cause food recalls, affect employees, and cost the facility owner thousands of dollars. For these reasons, it’s imperative to work with a professional pest control company such as Western Exterminator, formerly Hitmen who has the knowledge and resources to effectively implement food processing plant and facility pest control services.

Common Pests in Food Processing Plants & Facilities

While the food industry can certainly be affected by any type of pest infestation, there are a few types of pests that tend to be the most likely perpetrators of an infestation in this industry. Some of the most common pests in food processing plants and warehouses include:

1. Rodents
2. Cockroaches
3. Flies
4. Ants

Food Processing Plant & Facility Pest Control Safety Concerns

Pests in food processing plants, warehouses, and other facilities don’t only affect business operations—they pose a serious health risk. Operating a successful food processing or distribution center is dependent on smooth and safe operations, and pests can quickly disrupt that. Some of the health safety concerns of pests in the food distribution industry include:

• Pests can spread food-borne illnesses or diseases.
• They can contaminate food at any stage of production.
• Severe damage can be inflicted upon buildings, wiring, fixtures, and machinery.
• Food contaminated by pests inside a facility can be transported out during delivery.
• Pests can leave behind messes that are costly to clean up.
