Today, pest control in food plants is preventive contamination risk management and not just pest killing. Pest traps may capture/control individual pests, but in and of themselves, they do not manage or prevent pest infestations in food processing plants and warehouses. In this session, Mike Holcomb, consulting entomologist, Technical Directors, discusses employing pest traps (insect light traps, pheromones, mechanical rodent traps, etc.) as pest monitoring tools and the use of trap catch data in pest trending analysis.
