Integrated Pest Management for Large Pet Food Facilities

High volumes of grain-based ingredients, proteins, and fats in warm, continuous production create ideal conditions for stored product insects, rodents, and birds. FSS delivers preventive, monitoring-driven IPM focused on early detection, trend analysis, and corrective action without disrupting operations.

Stored Product Insect Control in Pet Food Operations

FSS identifies and manages flour beetles, warehouse beetles, Indian meal moths, and other pet-food pests, with species-level identification, root-cause analysis tied to ingredient flow and sanitation, and targeted long-term population suppression.
