Let your next audit be something to celebrate.

With huge amounts of inventory, raw materials and supplies entering a plant on a daily basis, food safety is a top concern in these environments. At the same time, the food processing environment routinely attracts pests and aids in their survival.

The power of the audit

Nearly every producer and warehouse of food, beverages and food packaging is required to undergo regular, third-party, food safety audits. Pest control is a major part of these audits, up to 20% of the total score in some cases. If a company doesn’t score well on these audits, they can lose large and valuable customers, which include massive food distributors, retailers and restaurant chains who are focused intensely on making sure they are getting high-quality products from these companies.

In the case of a visible pest infestation, these facilities can be shut down until they fix it. In a business where every hour of downtime can cost thousands of dollars this is a significant problem that requires urgent attention. The ripple effect of lost business can be catastrophic if the shutdown makes the headlines.

For these reasons, decision-makers in this industry need a pest management provider who is reliable, effective and experienced in working with audited facilities.
