Pests That Can Plague Your Orange County Food Processing Plant

Here in Orange County, our year-round warm weather means your food processing plant is constantly at risk of pest infestations. Below are some of the more common pests that can infest your facility:

• Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in Orange County food processing plants. They can cause a variety of problems, including contamination of food products, damage to machinery, and the spread of diseases.
• Rodents can also contaminate food products and damage machinery. In addition, they can spread diseases like salmonellosis and hantavirus.
• Ants can contaminate food products, and some species can spread diseases. They can also damage machinery and wiring.
• Spiders can create unsanitary conditions by spinning webs on equipment and machinery.
• Occasional invaders include birds, bats, and raccoons. While they typically don't cause as many problems as cockroaches, rodents, ants, and spiders, they can still contaminate food products and spread diseases.
• Flies can contaminate food products and spread harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella. They can also breed rapidly in unsanitary conditions, making them a major nuisance in food processing plants.
• Stored product pests include beetles, moths, and weevils. They typically infest grains, cereals, spices, and other stored foods. 
• Termites can cause major structural damage to buildings housing your food processing plant. 
• Mosquitoes can also cause significant irritation and allergic reactions in people.
