Summer is approaching, and with it comes the proliferation of various parasites, benefiting from the decidedly more comfortable temperatures for their ecosystem. Parasites are insidious, as their presence is not noticed until it's already too late. Unfortunately, it often happens that these "unpleasant visitors" become apparent in companies after they've already occupied an entire warehouse, or nearly so. Then How can this problem be prevented?
Well, to prevent the problem you need to follow 2 key actions:
- Keeping track of food supplies such as packages of flour, rice, bread, pasta, biscuits and dried fruit on a systematic basis.
- Keep track of the areas of the various departments of the company Since mold can form if the environment is humid or if the seals of the various pipes are not intact, we run the risk of parasites proliferating or depositing eggs.
For businesses like restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, or companies with on-site cafeterias, there's clearly a need to pay more attention to the kitchen, given that food is processed there. How often do you fail to thoroughly clean the entire area, such as the corners behind the normally hard-to-reach furniture or the refrigerators, which are normally always full of food? This can lead to the formation of pests or even an infestation of cockroaches and mice, which are attracted to the smell of food. Eradicating infestations requires targeted and sustained monitoring, and that's where Pestalia can help!
Here are some suggestions we can give you right away:
- Always repeatedly check the corners that are usually less accessible in the kitchens but also in other areas where food is handled
- Check in kitchens and warehouses that there are no holes in the walls or spaces between the tiles as these can be access points for various insects and if any are found they can be immediately blocked with silicone.
- As per good HACCP standards, it is also recommended that food products be stored in warehouses above the floor and away from walls to facilitate cleaning. In the fight against the enemy, Pestalia's added value is to help public and private companies eradicate food pests, rats, and other unwanted guests with targeted actions and subsequent monitoring, also releasing reports that can be viewed directly online.
