Pest Control for Food Production Facilities
Fast & Affordable Pest Control
Keeping 1000's of Queensland homes and businesses safe from pests for more than 31 years!
Pest Control for Food Production Facilities
A lot of food businesses come to us after failing an audit or having an ongoing pest issue (that would cause a non-compliance) simply because their current pest control company wasn’t able to do the job properly. We understand the specific requirements for pest control for food production and restaurants. We work closely with Food Safety Managers to ensure both parties meet food safety standards and mitigate any risks of a pest infestation into the future.

Our Pest Management Plan for Food Industry Businesses:
- We conduct a thorough inspection of your site using our unique Detailed Pest Assessment (DPA) method and discuss with you any site-specific risks and challenges
- We will design an Integrated Pest Management plan to support the business’s Food Safety Program which details the systematic implementation of a combination of the safest, effective processes and methods for pest prevention, monitoring and control
- We will provide a quality service using products, chemicals, equipment, and procedures that meet with safety standards and site requirements
- We will provide training to site staff
- We will measure and report effectiveness i.e., service reports, problems solved and progress
- We will build a long-term relationship through frequent two-way communication and training
Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM)
Suburban Pest Management recommends implementing an integrated pest management plan or IPM, which is a preventative, long-term solution. While an IPM requires a coordinated effort to implement properly, our on-site monitoring and reporting services provide effective pest control solutions. An IPM:
- Reduces the amount of chemicals used around employees and customers
- Reduces the risk of the deterioration of buildings and other assets from the use of chemicals
- Seeks to understand the pest species and numbers present at a site
- Allows for greater control over and knowledge of pest activity.
Rather than be surprised by a pest infestation, electronic pest monitoring stations and reporting allows you to proactively assess and address pest control in your facility with time-sensitive solutions.
HACCP (FOOD SAFETY) Certified
We have a HACCP (FOOD SAFETY) system in place and have met the requirements for provision of pest control management services for food processing, manufacturing, and food handling facilities.

FREQUENTLY ASKED PEST CONTROL QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about pest control, we have provided answers to some frequently asked questions below:
Signs vary depending on the pest, however, the can include sightings, droppings, unusual odours, and damage. If you notice any of these, professional pest control may be needed.
To prevent pests, keep your home clean, store food in sealed containers, eliminate moisture sources, and seal entry points. Regular pest control treatments can provide long-term protection.
Modern pest control treatments use low-toxicity and environmentally friendly products that are safe for humans and pets when applied correctly. At Suburban Pest Management, we take extra precautions to ensure your tenant's safety. Keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they dry is recommended.
Preparing for pest control depends on the treatment. Generally, you should clear clutter, store food, vacuum floors, and move furniture away from walls if necessary. Our team will provide specific instructions based on your pest issue.
The time it takes for pest control to work varies. Some treatments, like cockroach sprays, show results within hours, while others, like termite baiting, can take weeks. Most infestations show a noticeable reduction within days.
Look for a licensed pest control provider with positive reviews, proof of experience, and who can clearly communicate the treatment being performed and service periods. At Suburban Pest Management, we offer safe, effective services performed by fully licensed pest control technicians.
As HACCP-certified, award-winning pest managers, our programs are specifically designed to meet and exceed global food safety standards. We provide the meticulous, audit-ready documentation and trend reporting that auditors demand.
The primary threats are cockroaches, rodents, and flies, which contaminate surfaces and products. Stored Product Insects (SPIs) like moths, beetles and weevils are also a critical risk that can lead to immense stock loss.
You receive a comprehensive digital pest management folder with everything you need: service reports, site maps with device locations, safety data sheets (SDS), and our own DPA (Detailed Pest Analysis) which details conducive conditions, pest trends, and corrective action recommendations.
Our experienced team is flexible and will schedule our services to coincide with your sanitation shifts or scheduled downtime. Our goal is to work seamlessly with your operations without causing any disruption.
This is a key part of our IPM strategy. We will inspect your loading docks and provide recommendations, such as installing pest-proofing measures and implementing a robust monitoring program around all entry points.
Absolutely. The cost of a single pest-related incident—a failed audit, a product recall, or a damaged client relationship—far outweighs the cost of a professional program. It's an essential investment in your brand's integrity.
