Common Pests Affecting the Food Sector
Rodents (Rats & Mice)
Rodents are among the most destructive pests in the food industry. They chew through packaging, contaminate food with droppings and urine, and spread diseases like Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis. Even a small infestation can lead to major inventory losses and regulatory issues.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches hide in dark, moist areas such as kitchen drains, behind equipment, and within food storage zones. They are highly resilient and spread harmful pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. Their presence is often linked to poor hygiene and can easily damage a business's credibility.
Stored Product Pests
Rodents are among the most destructive pests in the food industry. They chew through packaging, contaminate food with droppings and urine, and spread diseases like Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis. Even a small infestation can lead to major inventory losses and regulatory issues
Flies (Houseflies, Fruit Flies)
Flies are attracted to food waste and sugary substances. They breed rapidly and can spread bacteria simply by landing on food surfaces. Their presence in kitchens or customer-facing areas is not only unsanitary but also unacceptable during health inspections.
Ants
Ants enter through the smallest cracks in search of food. They can swarm kitchens and pantries, spreading bacteria as they travel. While they may seem harmless, their numbers can grow quickly, creating major nuisance and hygiene issues.
