PEST PREVENTION SERVICES &
PEST CONTROL FOR FACTORIES

Factories and manufacturing plants are at high risk of a host of different pest activities. The production and storage of goods, especially if they are food or drink related, can become a prime target for infestations and contamination. When a pest infestation takes hold, it can sometimes take more than basic cleaning and sanitation practices to find the root of the problem, which is where Monitor Pest Control can step in and help.

A serious pest infestation in your factory or production facility can cost your organisation thousands or even millions of pounds through risk of contamination, loss of stock, building repairs, interruption to business operations, or product recalls, and could seriously damage your reputation and cause disruption to supply chains. Having an insufficient manufacturing or factory pest control programme in place may also prevent you from gaining or retaining important accreditations such as ISO 9001, BRC or SALSA, and could pose a serious public health risk.

One of the reasons that factories, warehouses and manufacturing plants are at high risk of suffering from pest problems is that their processing areas frequently house a variety of different materials from multiple different sources, suppliers and even countries. As a result, the potential for pests to enter the production facility and thrive is high.

Factories and manufacturing plants that process food are at especially high risk of pest infestation. Food is particularly attractive to flies, insects, rodents, and stored product insects. What’s more, most food processing businesses are BRC or SALSA accredited, both of which require good pest control procedures and food safety practices to be in place.

Many businesses are also subject to even more stringent regulation, if they are supplying the likes of Tesco, M & S, Morrisons, etc – all of which Monitor Pest Control currently service and manage.
