Under FSMA’s 21 CFR Part 117, a documented pest control program and records dating back at least two years are required for food facilities to pass an FDA inspection. However, Connor’s Pest Pros says that regulations depend on the type of food that the plant processes: meat, poultry, and egg processing facilities fall under USDA FSIS oversight and require stricter monitoring with less tolerance for pest sightings, while facilities that manage fruits and vegetables are not regulated as tightly.
Per Connor’s Pest Pros’ guide, most food facilities in Greensboro are audited against certification programs recognized by the GFSI, including SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, and AIB International Consolidated Standards. In addition to a documented pest management program, these schemes require service by a qualified provider, site-specific risk assessment, monitoring devices, and evidence that the services employed are effective. Consequently, audits will require pest device maps, dated service reports, pesticide application logs that state the applicator’s license, and pest program trend data, all of which can be provided by a commercial pest control service.
Connor’s Pest Pros’ guide says that pest control programs in Greensboro range from $35 to $2,000 a month, though costs are dependent on square footage, building complexity, and pest type. Facilities that opt for after-hours services may also have to pay a premium, which will affect the final price. Nevertheless, the resource notes that ongoing preventative pest programs are more cost-effective than food recalls or facility closures - possible consequences of a failed audit - which is why administrators should consider the option over one-time treatments.
Food facility administrators looking for audit-ready pest control can consider a local service like Connor’s Pest Pros. The company can provide accurate device maps, current applicator credentials, and the appropriate management plans to address the pest pressure that food processing plants face.
