Rodent control is vital in food processing plants and facilities because of the severe damage pests can cause to products and raw materials, resulting in lost revenue. Moreover, rodents in a work environment pose serious hazards both to employees and the building’s structural integrity. Having an effective rodent control plan in place is essential for protecting your facility.
The VLINK platform is built on over a century of rodent control expertise and uses a family of devices to eliminate rodents swiftly and hygienically. Each trap or station sends instant alerts to the VLINK DPM app, enabling rapid response, which is critical for maintaining compliance in audited facilities. By replacing traditional rodent devices with VLINK, facilities gain real-time visibility into rodent activity while minimizing contamination risks and improving audit readiness.

Designed for diverse facility layouts, VLINK continuously monitors rodent pressure, helping QA teams identify hotspots and shift from reactive pest control to data-driven prevention. The system’s digital records and trend analysis also simplify documentation for audits and inspections, supporting regulatory compliance. Traditional inspections often require access to hard-to-reach or hazardous areas. VLINK’s smart traps notify teams only when servicing is needed, reducing unnecessary exposure and improving workplace safety for QA staff and contractors.
The VLINK system is also a low-maintenance, cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to rodenticides. With only occasional lure replacements and modest connectivity fees, it’s a sustainable solution for long-term pest control.
Since 2023, a global food processing company that deployed over 14,000 VLINK devices across multiple sites has been able to achieve much quicker response times to rodent captures inside their facilities. This has allowed them to greatly reduce the chance of an infestation getting a foothold. Another benefit of the system is the data they receive from it, allowing stakeholders at all levels to gauge the level of adherence to their Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
