IPM Pest Management for Food & Beverage Processing Facilities

Pest management in food and beverage processing is not just a compliance requirement — it’s a food safety imperative. ABC’s dedicated Food Safety specialists leverage deep knowledge of regional pest pressures to deliver IPM-based programs that protect your brand, your product, and your workforce.

Our specialized programs conform to the standards of all major third-party audit schemes including AIB and those benchmarked by GFSI — BRC, SQF, IFS, and others. We maintain detailed service reports, trending analyses, and comprehensive logbook documentation to satisfy FDA and USDA requirements. Quarterly IPM assessments and annual risk analyses ensure your facility remains in a continuous state of audit readiness.

Rodent & Wildlife Control

Rodents are responsible for significant food adulteration through contamination, consumption, and damage to critical production environments.
