Food manufacturing is the most heavily inspected environment we work in. Auditors do not only look for pests — they look for evidence that a programme exists, that trends are tracked and that corrective actions were closed out.

RPS Pest Control provides integrated pest management for food processing units, packaging plants, dairies, spice and masala units and central kitchens across the Mumbai region, built around monitoring, exclusion and minimum chemical intervention in production zones.

Pests that matter most in a processing plant

Stored product insects

The core risk in raw material stores; monitored with pheromone traps and treated by fumigation of stock.

Rodents

Perimeter-first programme; no toxic bait inside production zones, only monitored mechanical traps.

Cockroaches

Utility rooms, drains and packaging areas; gel baiting and crack-and-crevice application.

Flies

Insect light traps at entry points plus drain and waste-area treatment at the breeding source.

Birds

Receiving bays and loading docks; netting and spikes to remove roosting.

How we treat a food processing unit

  1. Facility survey and zoning — raw material store, production, packing, finished goods, utility, waste and external perimeter.
  2. Device layout: perimeter bait stations, internal mechanical traps, insect light traps at entries, pheromone traps in stores.
  3. Trend monitoring at every visit, with counts recorded per device.
  4. Non-chemical control inside production zones; treatment restricted to shutdown windows and cleaned-down lines.
  5. Fumigation of raw material stacks as required per intake cycle.
  6. Corrective action report — structural gaps, drainage, waste handling and hygiene observations.

IPM programme and audit readiness

Each plant gets a documented IPM programme: a numbered device layout covering bait stations, insect light traps and pheromone traps, a trend record per device so rising activity is visible before it becomes an infestation, a chemical list with CIB approvals and MSDS sheets, and a corrective action log tied to each observation. Service reports are issued per visit and consolidated monthly, which is the format FSSAI inspections and third-party food safety audits expect.

Service frequency and contracts

Food processing sites are contracted monthly at minimum, with weekly or fortnightly device checks in raw material and production zones. Treatment inside production areas is scheduled during planned shutdown or cleaning windows. Contracts are quoted after a free survey and include unlimited callout visits and audit support during inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking pest control service.

What does an IPM programme include for a food plant?
A numbered device layout (bait stations, insect light traps, pheromone traps), trend records per device, a chemical list with CIB approvals and MSDS sheets, per-visit service reports, and a corrective action log covering structural, drainage and hygiene observations.
Do you use chemicals inside production areas?
As little as possible. Production zones are managed with monitoring, exclusion and mechanical traps. Any chemical application is restricted to planned shutdown windows on cleaned-down lines, using CIB-approved products at label dosage.
Can you support us during an FSSAI or third-party audit?
Yes. We supply the full documentation pack and can attend during the audit to answer pest-programme questions and walk the auditor through the device layout and trend data.
How do you handle rodents without baiting inside the plant?
Toxic bait stays on the external perimeter in tamper-resistant stations. Inside the plant we use monitored mechanical traps, positioned to a numbered layout and checked at every visit.
How often are visits scheduled?
Monthly at minimum, with weekly or fortnightly device checks in raw material and production zones depending on the risk category of the product.
Do you fumigate raw material stock?
Yes. Raw material stacks are fumigated per intake cycle where required, with a certificate stating commodity, exposure time and clearance.
