The Function of Pest Control In Food Security And Hygiene

When we think about food safety, pests are often overlooked—but they shouldn't be. Rodents, insects, and other intruders don’t just damage inventory; they pose a serious risk to public health. Through droppings, hair, or contact with surfaces, pests can transmit harmful pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria. In any food facility, prevention isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Proactive pest management begins with good hygiene and structural vigilance. Sealing entry points, managing waste, and monitoring for signs of activity are baseline practices. Ultimately, a clean facility is your first defense—protecting your product, your customers, and your reputation.
