Ensure You're Running a Sanitary Food Processing Plant

SOUTH ELGIN, Ill., Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- McCloud Services, a leading pest management company servicing Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio and Wisconsin, is offering tips on sanitary techniques to ensure food facilities maintain a pest-free and safe environment.

Pest management plays a major role in proper sanitary techniques and programs, especially in food facilities. Many pest problems can lead to food borne illness and be damaging to one's brand. While many food facilities sanitize their facility to ensure a clean, safe environment, some of the cleaning strategies used can be detrimental to pest control efforts. From pressure washing to air compression, food facilities need to make sure they are properly managing how sanitation tools are used and stored to continue their pest prevention efforts and maintain a sterilized food plant.

"Many plant managers don't realize the importance of sanitation in food facilities and its direct effects on pest management," said Patricia Hottel, BCE, technical director of McCloud Services. "Following best practices like sealing cracks and crevices in floors, properly cleaning and drying out mats each night, and emptying vacuumed up contents to an exterior trash receptacle or drain are vital in preventing pests that can lead to food borne illnesses or other hazardous results."

McCloud Services discusses proper sanitation methods and tools in its article "The Pressures of Sanitation and Pest Management."
