Food processing plants are inviting to pests because they provide warmth, a roof over their heads, and access to food and water. They are generally more nocturnal, and are often seen hiding in shadowy spots, like:

  • Beneath and behind electrical, heating, and cooking appliances.

  • Close to washing and handwashing stations.

  • Between boxes, wrappers and food storage containers.

  • Between wall cavities, cracks and crevices

  • Behind equipment.

We recommend checking these areas for cleanliness and any signs of pests:

  • Soap dispensers

  • First Aid Kits

  • Edges around equipment

  • Under the sink

  • Wall junctions

  • Areas behind equipment

And more.
