IPM For Industrial and Manufacturing

Protecting Your Assets, People and Goods

In busy production and manufacturing areas, there is a continual movement of people, products and without a doubt, pests too. Pests are high risk threats in the industrial premises and its supply chain, similar to those in the food related industries. Besides damaging your inventories in various ways, pest also poses health and safety hazards to your employees which can affect performance, disrupt operations and eventually lead to revenue loss.

Using Integrated Pest Management principles, Rentokil partners with industrial manufacturers to ensure your standards or those of your customers and auditors will not be compromised by pest activity.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Industry and Manufacturing

For industrial and manufacturing environments, maintaining pest-free facilities is critical—not only to uphold workplace safety and product integrity, but also to protect equipment, raw materials, and overall operational efficiency. Implementing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach provides a proactive, compliant, and sustainable solution for effective pest control.

What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a strategic, multi-layered approach that emphasizes prevention, monitoring, and control. It integrates non-chemical methods such as exclusion, sanitation, and structural maintenance, and uses targeted chemical treatments only when absolutely necessary.

This holistic methodology not only addresses existing pest issues, but also identifies and mitigates underlying risk factors—ensuring long-term protection without compromising safety or environmental standards.

Key Benefits of IPM for Industry and Manufacturing:

• Protects operational continuity: Prevents pest-related disruptions to machinery, packaging, and storage areas

• Supports compliance with global safety and quality standards: Aligns with ISO, GMP, and industry-specific audit requirements

• Reduces reliance on chemicals: Minimizes exposure to pesticides and lowers environmental impact

• Improves facility hygiene and risk management: Detects pest activity early and prevents future infestations

• Safeguards brand reputation: Demonstrates proactive risk control to clients, partners, and regulators
