📊Pest pressure in Food Processing Industry
Food and beverage facilities operate under some of the strictest hygiene expectations of any industry, since even minor pest activity can compromise a batch or fail an audit. Pest management here typically follows a structured, documented Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme rather than reactive treatment alone. In Food Processing Industry, bharatpest’s Pest Guide tracks 39 species across 9 pest categories — Stored Product Insects, Cockroaches, Ants, Flies, Rodents and others.
