Common pests for food retail establishments

Any pests found in an environment with fresh produce, meat, and other foods should be cause for alarm. Pests found near food items threaten the integrity of your store and the quality of the products being sold. These are a few pests that have been known to plague food retail establishments:

Flies - Fruit flies and other fly species such as houseflies and cluster flies are not only nuisance pests — they can cause major sanitation issues for your food retail establishment. To reduce the risk of contamination and disease spread by flies, Rentokil offers Lumnia, a revolutionary electric insect light trap that provides a truly effective solution to monitor and control flying insects in your facility.

Rodents - Since there is an abundance of food sources in grocery stores and supermarkets, these buildings are highly susceptible to mice and rat infestations. Rentokil's Multi Rodent Trap Connect is an innovative, wireless electronic monitoring system that provides 24/7 remote monitoring and protection for your store.

Cockroaches - Cockroaches are known by many to be some of the most unsanitary pests around. They carry disease-causing microorganisms on their bodies that can contaminate food products and make people sick. Rentokil offers bait and exclusion solutions to remove the threat of cockroaches from your establishment and keep them from returning.

Stored product pests - Stored product insects can contaminate food products in your store, causing expensive product waste. Rentokil offers effective treatment options for these destructive pests including: precision spraying, dusting and grain protectants.
