Pest Control in the Food & Beverage Industry


Pest control for the food and beverage industry is an absolutely fundamental business requirement. This is not just from a health and safety aspect but is also a legal requirement. An operating license could be revoked should a business demonstrate poor pest control methods.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) operates a licensing scheme for all food and beverage outlets in order to permit them to trade. A pest control program for the food industry is a key element in order to obtain the license. Specifically, businesses must prove that they have a pest control system to control rodents, cockroaches and flies. Monthly checks are taken to ensure that the pest control measures in food and beverage outlets are sufficiently stringent and that no infestation, or sign of infestation, is found.
