F&B factory: 80% reduction in insect incidents and BRC compliance in 90 days
Implementing an Audit-Standard IPM system for food manufacturing facilities
Before partnering with PestMan, the facility faced significant risks related to audits, unexpected costs, and operational stability.
-
Audit risks
Pressure from AIB, BRC, and international customer audits makes pest control a critical factor for compliance. Even a single sign of flies, ants, or cockroaches in production areas can result in non-conformities (NC), directly affecting audit outcomes and the facility’s reputation.
-
Unexpected costs & reactive operations
Previously, pest control was mostly reactive, carried out only after incidents had already occurred. This led to unplanned costs, difficulty in budget control, and a consistently reactive state, especially ahead of audits or peak production periods.
PestMan transforms the entire approach by shifting from “reactive treatment” to “root-cause prevention”.
-
Establishing an Audit-Standard IPM system
PestMan develops a structured IPM system with clearly defined control zones, from external areas and loading docks to production areas and finished goods warehouses. Each zone is assigned tailored control measures to prevent pest intrusion at the source. -
Standardized processes & transparent reporting
The entire pest control process is standardized in accordance with AIB, BRC, and FSSC 22000 requirements. Reports are digitized, including full visual documentation and treatment history, enabling QA teams to easily retrieve data and confidently work with audit teams. -
Cost control & 24/7 rapid response
PestMan implements a full-service model, eliminating unexpected costs outside the contract. When any abnormal signs are detected, the technical team responds 24/7, handling issues promptly without disrupting production lines.
