Your quick guide to the most expensive  pests in food processing

Written by Nathalie Leblond

This is a quick guide to the most expensive pests in food processing, and what should you know about them. More information is available for download in our Pests in the Food Processing Industry eBook.

If you’re working in food processing today it’s likely that you’re already well aware of the challenges posed by pest infestations. Even the smallest pests can cause untold damage to reputations, audit scores and hard-earned customer relationships - all of which have negative financial implications - not to mention the cost of staff illness and machinery downtime. 

This quick guide is based on the results from our Business Impact of Pests survey. More information on these pests, and what you can do about them, is available for download in our free eBook.

I joined Rentokil Initial South Africa in 2004 as the PA to the MD, and after 6 months maternity leave I re-joined the Company in 2009 as the Marketing Co-ordinator for Rentokil. I'm now the Marketing Communication Manager for Rentokil Initial. I'm still terrified of cockroaches (Americana's only!) but the rest of the creepy crawlies we deal with don't really bug me (see what I did there?), so I guess I'm in the right industry! I am passionate about what we do here at Rentokil Initial and also write for our Hygiene Blog, which can be found at www.initial.co.za. Life outside of Rentokil mostly revolves around my daughter, who has just turned eleven, and my husband (who is a bit older). I love living in Cape Town and wouldn't trade living here for anywhere else in the world.
