Focused Sanitation-Proactive Pest Management

摘要

Time and regulatory constraints may exist, but boot pit cleaning provides a head start on quality management.Of all the grain quality management aspects that a handling facility must contend with, insect control can be, excuse the pun, the biggest pest. Despite a manager's best efforts to sample incoming grain for bugs, and clean the loading, transfer and storage equipment, insects always come back. In order to ensure pest-free delivery to the customer or end user, most grain in commercial storage today will eventually be fumigated. But due to several factors, such as suspected insect resistance to phosphine and potential health risks posed on employees mishandling the chemicals, many companies today are seeking proactive pest control methods.
