Pest control for pharmaceutical facilities

Pests are a major concern of pharmaceutical companies, physicians, wholesalers, pharmacies, clinics, associations, and health insurance providers. Contamination of raw materials, finished products, medicines and medical devices not only destroys the affected goods and causes production losses, but also results in a devastating loss of customer trust.

When coupled with tightening regulations and audit compliance needs, a pest-free facility is an absolute necessity. Below are just a few of the negative impacts pests can have on your facility:

• Research invalidation
• Lost revenue and customers
• Structural and equipment damage
• Production downtime

Rentokil understands the increasing pressures the pharmaceutical industry is facing – and we understand pests and how to keep them out of your operations. Reach out to us at 1-855-633-6260 or contact us online today.

Common pests in pharmaceutical facilities

A single pest problem in the wrong area can invalidate years of research and millions of dollars in investments. Rentokil has a wide array of innovative solutions that stay ahead of emerging pest concerns and regulatory trends. Some of the most frequent pest concerns in the pharmaceutical industry are:

Birds - Birds put people in your facility, as well as untold dollars in production, at risk. Rentokil can implement a number of effective, humane solutions including spikes, netting, and electric deterrents to discourage birds from habitating on your premises and protect your products, employees, and business customers.

Rodents - A rodent infestation can be very problematic for the pharmaceutical industry as mice and rats can spread disease and contaminate products. Rentokil's Multi Rodent Trap Connect is an innovative, wireless electronic monitoring system that provides 24/7 remote monitoring and protection against rodents for your facility.

Flies - A fly infestation in your facility could lead to regulatory and compliance failures. With innovative treatment protocols for addressing any species of flying insect, as well as our Lumnia product line, Rentokil has a solution for even the toughest flying insect problems.

Stored product pests - Stored product pests are attracted to the raw materials found in pharmaceutical facilities. From state-of-the-art pest monitoring solutions to fast-acting heat treatments, Rentokil has the tools and expertise to keep stored product pests out of your facility.

Preventative pest control for the pharmaceutical industry

With a Rentokil integrated pest management program in place, you can have peace of mind that your facility is protected against pests. Part of this approach is pest prevention through setting  up traps and monitoring devices in and around your properties. Our experts will advise you on the most effective preventative measures you can take to keep your company safe from insects and rodents.

Another key component of pest prevention is limiting pests’ ability to enter your building. We will make sure to seal up any potential entry points where pests can gain entry as well as replace screens on entryways, seal up holes and cracks, and fix defective pipes and drains. All of these steps can help save your facility from the costly repairs and potential shutdowns that come with an out-of-control pest infestation.
