Common Pests Found in Food Processing Facilities
Food processing facilities often attract pests due to the abundance of food and moisture. Some of the most common pests you’ll find at a food facility include:
Rodents
Seek out food sources and can contaminate products with droppings and urine.
Cockroaches
Thrive in warm, humid environments and spread bacteria.
Stored Product Pests
Beetles, weevils, and moths can infest grains, flour, and other food items.
Flies
Are attracted to organic waste and can spread pathogens.
