Leading Pest Management Programs for the Food & Drug Industries

The damage and presence of pests can negatively impact a company’s reputation and brand. As the provider of the leading pest management program specific to the food and pharmaceutical industries, we provide top quality pest management for the entire product supply chain.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)

All pest management programs comply with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and facility/company specific GMPs. Service personnel are trained, and comply fully with, your specific GMPs prior to initiating service.

Pest Management Plan

A pest management plan specific to the needs and requirements of your facility is developed as a result of McCloud Services’ initial inspection, examination of history, third-party audit agency requirements, and discussions with plant personnel. The McCloud pest management plan is designed to meet all your requirements. Our plan utilizes a process approach to pest management, focusing on identification and elimination of causes of infestations rather than remediation of high risk situations as they occur.

Approved Materials

McCloud Services provides you with a complete list of pesticides, our standard Approved Materials List, which is used in your facility. Or, we comply with an existing Approved Materials List, specific to your facility or company. This type of document is often required to meet certain third-party audit agency requirements and provides more information regarding when, where, and how pesticides are applied.

Threshold Action Plan

McCloud Services can work with you to develop a Threshold Action Plan. This plan defines specific actions to be taken when predetermined levels of pest activity are exceeded. These actions focus on identification of the cause of the problem, and seek to eliminate the cause, thereby preventing future non-compliance.
