Pests can be brought into the food processing facility through the supply chain, in the ingredients or packaging, and the facility itself will attract pests through food odours and lighting. The buildings provide shelter, warmth, food, water and safety from predators, which are ideal conditions for proliferation unless appropriate action is taken.
