We help make IPM a core part of your food safety culture.

Food Processing Segments We Support

These environments often provide ideal conditions for pests due to warm temperatures, continuous production, and abundant food sources. Our experience allows us to proactively address sanitation gaps, facility risks, and production challenges unique to each operation.

Built for QA & Food Safety Teams

QA and Food Safety Managers rely on FSS for more than pest control. We provide audit-ready documentation, digital service reports, trend analysis, and corrective action support, along with licensed, food-industry-trained technicians. From routine service to emergency response and structural fumigation, FSS delivers reliable, compliant pest management solutions for food processors nationwide.

Trusted Team of Licensed Professionals

When you partner with FSS, you’re working with a team of licensed, science-first professionals — Board Certified Entomologists (BCE), Associate Certified Entomologists (ACE), a Ph.D. entomologist, research scientists, and OSHA-authorized trainers — backed by 45+ years of stored product pest expertise.

Rapid Pest Reset Through Structural Fumigation

FSS has the capability to perform full-facility structural fumigation to quickly reset pest populations. While fumigation can be a significant investment, the cost of brand damage, product loss, customer complaints, or failed audits is often far greater. Structural fumigation provides a decisive solution when IPM controls alone are no longer sufficient.

FSS utilizes sulfuryl fluoride fumigation (ProFume®), labeled to control rodents and all life stages of stored product pests in facilities that store, process, or transport food. ProFume is registered in all 50 states, compliant with Codex standards, and supports FSMA food safety requirements, making it suitable for domestic and export operations.

Immediate Response with Flexible Scheduling

FSS can perform structural fumigations on short notice, including weekends and major holiday shutdowns such as Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving—allowing food processors to address serious pest issues without disrupting production.

Used as an emergency response or corrective action, fumigation delivers a clean reset so preventive controls and monitoring can be re-established with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pest problems are most common in food processing plants?

Food plants attract stored-product insects such as beetles, weevils, and moths in ingredients and equipment, along with rodents, flies, and cockroaches drawn to food, warmth, and moisture. Residue in hard-to-clean equipment and voids is a frequent source.

How do you control pests without disrupting production or contaminating food?

We use Integrated Pest Management: inspection, monitoring, sanitation and exclusion, and targeted treatments applied only where needed, scheduled around production and using food-appropriate methods so operations and product stay protected.

Will your program help us pass FSMA and third-party audits?

Yes. Our programs and documentation are designed to support FSMA and audits such as BRC, SQF, and AIB, including monitoring records, trend reports, and corrective actions.

Do you offer fumigation for plant-wide infestations?

Yes. When insects are established throughout the plant, structural fumigation reaches pests inside walls, equipment, and product that surface treatments miss, and we plan it around your schedule to limit downtime.

How do you monitor for pests between visits?

We monitor with traps and routine inspection and can add remote monitoring so activity is caught early and treatments stay targeted.
