Specialist pest management in the food industry

Western Exterminator offers a variety of solutions for your food and beverage processing facility. Our technicians listen to your pest control needs and incorporate them into our integrated pest management plan.

Fumigation

When activity is widespread, fumigation in food processing may be part of a carefully planned solution.

Drain Line Services

Drains are often overlooked as a source for pest-related issues. Western Exterminator's drain line services remove residual food particles in the drain systems, which attract pests.

Additional services

In addition to targeted pest treatments, prevention, and exclusion techniques, we offer a wide range of additional services to help protect your operation.

Frequently asked questions

The FDA requires food facilities to maintain conditions that protect against contamination. This includes having a documented pest control program, regular monitoring, and corrective actions when pests are found.

The most effective method is an integrated pest management approach. This combines inspections, sanitation, exclusion, monitoring, and targeted treatments.

Rodents and stored product pests are among the most common pests in food businesses. Their access to food, warmth, and shelter makes food facilities especially attractive without ongoing controls.

Some of the consequences of pest infestations include: 

  • Cost of product recalls 
  • Lost sales due to disrupted production 
  • Cost of damaged goods and raw materials 
  • Prosecution for non-compliance with applicable laws
