Pest Control in the F&B Industry: Safeguarding Hygiene and Reputation
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Running a food outlet, restaurant, or factory means hygiene is non-negotiable. Pests such as ants, cockroaches, and rodents are more than just a nuisance — they can damage raw materials, contaminate finished goods, and even jeopardize audit results and brand reputation.

Ants & Cockroaches – Common Challenges in F&B
|
| Ants and cockroaches thrive in environments where food and moisture are present. Effective control strategies often include:
|
- Residual spraying around building perimeters to create a protective barrier.
- Gel treatments applied at breeding and hiding spots for precise elimination.
- Advanced technologies (e.g., CO₂ flushing or pyrethroid aerosols) to force pests out of hiding and reduce large populations.
- Monitoring traps to detect infestations early and safeguard production and storage areas.
|
| A layered approach ensures that if one method falls short, there is always a backup strategy to maintain pest-free operations.

Rodents – A Serious Threat to Food Safety
|
| Rodents can cause significant losses by destroying packaging, contaminating goods, and spreading disease. Control measures typically include:
|
- Rodent baiting in external areas to reduce populations before they enter.
- Trapping systems in internal zones where food safety is critical.
- Multiple bait options to increase effectiveness.
- Attractant traps for areas where baiting is restricted.
- Tracking powders applied directly to burrows to eliminate rodents at the source.
|
| Safety and compliance should always guide the choice of method.
