No one wants to find a bug in their food. But pests are sneaky, finding ways into just about anywhere, and no food plant is safe from infestation if it’s left unguarded. As April is national pest management month, McCloud Services, a leading pest management company, is encouraging food facilities to be proactive when it comes to keeping out pests and offers a number of tips for this pest-heavy spring season.

“As pests emerge from their overwintering spots, we encourage food facilities to take simple preventive steps that will make a big difference in staving off infestations during the warmer months,” says Patricia Hottel, technical director for McCloud Services.
