Grocery Store Pest Control – Top 3 Violators

 

Invader #1: Rodents

Mice, rats, and other rodents are responsible for creating huge quantities of damage to products each year. Not only do rodents directly consume stored products, but more importantly they damage foods and packaging by gnawing and puncturing, plus contaminating the products with feces and other waste products. Rodents enter food storage and manufacturing plants in shipments or through holes and gaps that enable them to enter the structure. Therefore, the most important steps in dealing with rodent infestations are inspection, sanitation, and exclusion.

 

 

Invader #2: Stored Product Pests

If you’re not attentive, you may be transporting pests with your product to your customers. These pests mine their way into dried foods packaged in wax, cardboard, and other materials. They also infest the pallets on which these food products are stored, which can allow problems to quickly spiral out of control. These pests include weevils, beetles, moths, meal worms, and more.

 

 

Invader #3: German Cockroaches

While cardboard is a standard packaging material for food manufacturers, it’s also an attractive food source for German cockroaches. The added attraction of starch, sugars, grease, and meats may enable these pests to produce large populations. Since many species of cockroaches are small and very secretive; they hide throughout your facility, making them difficult to eradicate.

Favorite Hiding Spots

Beyond pallets, food processing and manufacturing facilities are rife with additional pest-attracting hotspots. Out-of-service equipment that is not properly sanitized is a veritable buffet for pest scavengers; along with areas containing moist heat, spots behind sinks and drains that have not been properly flushed.
