New Jersey Food Processing Plant Pest Control

Pest control in NJ food processing plants can be a time-consuming and confusing process. It seems like each and every day new governmental regulations are developed and instituted that determine how pests are to be eliminated in food processing plants. Regulations not only dictate what type of pesticides may be used in these plants but also dictate how they should be used around food products.

Governmental guidelines can be difficult to follow and if they aren't followed exactly to the letter of the law, then fines may be assessed against the facility. Combine these strict governmental guidelines with the fact that a large variety of different pests may infest a food processing plant at any given time and you have a potential recipe for disaster. That is exactly why most New Jersey food processing plants rely on the skills of a professional exterminator in NJ.

Pest Issues in a Food Processing Plant

During the course of its operation, a NJ food processing plant may be attacked by any number of different pests. Pests that commonly infest foodstuffs in these facilities include confused flour beetles, bread beetles, rice weevils, Indian meal moths and sawtooth grain beetles. These insects destroy hundreds of tons of grain and flour products each year and are considered to be the primary threat to food processing facilities.

Other pests not only are an inconvenience to food processing plants but also are an inconvenience to home owners. These pests invade the physical structure of the building and can cause damage to the structure itself or pose a health risk by accidentally falling into foodstuffs or food processing equipment. These type of pests include termites, silverfish, pill bugs, spiders and wasps.

A pest that deserves a category of its own is the cockroach. These insects pose a number of different health risks, both to food processing facilities and homeowners alike. Cockroaches spread various types of dangerous organisms which include bacteria, viruses and protozoa. These dangerous organisms can cause everything from food poisoning and diarrhea to gastroenteritis and dysentery.

NJ food processing facilities who try to combat these large numbers of pest by themselves have quite a job on their hands. Not only are they going to have to navigate the difficult waters of governmental regulation, but they are going to find that many of their methods are unsuccessful. Only by hiring the services of a professional NJ exterminator from Excel® Termite & Pest Control, can these facilities rest assured that they are not only ridding their businesses of pest but are also conforming to the letter of the law.
