Why you need pest control for pharmaceuticals

Pharmacology companies disinfect and treat their workspaces for microbes on a daily basis, but often overlook the risk of bigger pests. While laboratories have sealed rooms, filtered air and hazmat suits, it’s outside this controlled environment that insects and other pests pose a real risk.

Contamination of medical devices, drugs or medicine by vermin is a major hazard for pharmaceutical companies. A risk assessment for all areas of production, from storage of raw materials to final transportation needs to be developed to prevent your goods from being unfit for human consumption.

The movement of therapeutics through your warehouse or storage facility increases the risk of pest infestation. Pests can hitchhike on containers, packaging or in your goods once they leave your sterile laboratory.

Storage facilities are particularly vulnerable to pest infestation. Different materials, such as cardboard, pallets and organic material can carry a variety of pests. Doors are often open in storage areas. So birds, rodents and cockroaches can easily enter.

Cardboard boxes and pallets can provide nesting for vermin. Insects can also travel from interstate to your loading dock on the truck.

Cockroaches are a common pest in storage facilities

Cockroaches are attracted to damp, unclean areas. Our technicians have found wet cardboard packaging from flooding and rain attracts cockroaches.

Although these pests are shy, they’re visible once their numbers reach a threshold. A cockroach infestation can invade warehouses and storage facilities, even if you don’t store food. As these areas are open, our technicians will treat inside your facility and the perimeter.

Our technician may suggest drying damp areas and removing wet packaging to prevent further infestation.
