The importance of pest control in the Food industry

by Pestinct Pro Solutions Pest Management Services Indian

Food Processing is a highly complex process that demands highest standards of quality and hygiene. Pests in the food processing industry can pose a serious threat since they can contaminate food and damage raw materials easily. Even a single sight of pests in the food processing industry by a customer or food safety official can translate into loss of reputation and revenue, fines, prosecution or even closure of the unit.

Pests are attracted to food premises as they can provide food, shelter, and warmth, which are necessary for their survival. They are most active at night and hide inside wall cavities, cracks, and crevices, under and behind electrical, heating and cooking appliances, boxes, packaging, and food storage containers.

The most common pests that can be found in the food processing industry are rodents (mice and rats), Cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, ants, and pigeons.

They are known to carry harmful bacteria and viruses that can contaminate food and food contact surfaces.
