Store product insects include pests such as beetles, weevils and moths. They live off of food products such as cereal, rice and other dried grain products, but are usually happy to eat anything! This can cause contamination and spoil your food.
Store product insects can be a big problem if they target food and pharmaceutical facilities. They can not only cost companies money, but can also cause a great deal of reputation damage.
How to prevent food product insects:
- Keep doors and windows shut or protect them with wire mesh.
- Inspect all materials and food entering the building.
- Design the site to minimise pests, e.g. secure cupboards and containers.
If you have a problem like this, please let us know via email or phone. We will conduct an in-depth investigation starting with your bakery and dry food products, production and storage areas. Following this, we will remove any infestations we find by applying insect growth regulators, residual products and a pheromone which alerts us when there could be potential pest activity. We can also provide lots of advice and tips and tricks on how to prevent store product insects in future. Food disposal is to be expected on some jobs, as the insects can damage products and create a health and safety hygiene risk.
