Protecting against Food Contamination
BUSINESS IMPACT OF PESTS
FOOD CONTAMINATION
Pests contaminate food by damaging food packaging and by touching, eating and defecating on uncovered food, which leaves it no longer fit for human consumption.
AUDIT FAILURES
The presence of pests in your facility can result in costly audit failures, resulting in disruption to your facility’s operations, losses in revenue and even suspension of your food processing activities.
FIRE
Fire is a very real danger and is often caused by rodents gnawing through electrical cables.

COMMON ISSUES FOR FOOD PROCESSING
INTERNAL AREAS
We are fully conversant with HACCP and AIB regulations and are able to customise our treatment and monitoring programs to your internal or external audit requirements. This gives our customers piece of mind and confidence before every audit.
With an Intelligent Pest Control approach, your Javelin service team will identify the source of your pest problem, eliminate the conditions that allowed them to thrive, and monitor the situation for long term protection.
We use a range of tailored solutions to achieve this, including hygiene and proofing advice, protective residual spraying, targeted gel and rodenticide baiting and early warning monitoring devices that help us deliver quick treatments before pests cause issues. All our treatments involve targeted applications, reducing the risk of food contamination.
COCKROACHES and ANTS
After a detailed inspection, a combination of IRS (Internal Residual Spraying) and IGB (Insecticidal Gel Baiting) treatment would be administered to eliminate the infestation as quickly as possible. Post treatment, monitoring devices will be deployed to monitor activity to detect any re-infestation as early as possible.
FLIES
Our Insect Light Traps (ILT’s) have been designed to be hygienic and to meet all legal and health and safety requirements. ILT’s use glue boards to trap and kill flies and as they are flying insect capture devices and not flying insect electrocution devices, there is no risk of beverage or raw material contamination.
RODENTS
The deployment of anticoagulant rodenticides in secured bait boxes, where there is no risk of contamination and of snap-back traps and sticky boards, where there is risk of contamination, will safely achieve rapid reduction in rodent numbers.
EXTERNAL AREAS
Solutions for outside spaces, such as building perimeters, car parks and loading bays, can be both targeted and comprehensive. Our surveyors will be happy to discuss options and budgets and come up with the most appropriate solution to fit your needs.
MOSQUITOES
We have a number of different solutions for mosquitoes including thermal fogging, larviciding and ULV treatment. For outside areas, a combination of thermal fogging at peak activity times, ULV treatment and larviciding will be administered to target all stages of the mosquitoes life cycle.
RODENTS
The application of anticoagulant rodenticides in secured bait boxes and/or snap-back traps and sticky boards (where appropriate) along the facility’s perimeter fence and exterior walls to safely achieve a rapid reduction in rodent numbers.
FLY CONTROL
Our range of Insect Light Traps (ILT’s) have been designed to be hygienic and to meet all legal and health and safety requirements, as they use glue boards to attract and trap flies rather than an electric grill.
With ILT’s, there is no risk of food contamination and tests have shown that glue-boards catch flies 100% faster than traditional EFK units. ILT’s are both silent in operation and more effective than EFK’s.
AUDIT SUPPORT
Audits and audit inspections are an integral part of any food processing business. Failing an audit can be extremely costly to your business and may lead to disruptions at best and loss of business at worst.
From AIB to HACCP, we can provide you with all the necessary supporting audit documentation that you need, as well as a thorough audit level pest control treatment strategy tailored to your audit requirements.
Our online reporting system, JavNet, makes it more accessible for auditors to examine, making traceability much easier should problems arise or questions be raised.
