What is pest prevention according to HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a prevention system that maps and controls food safety risks. Pest control plays a crucial role in this. By means of inspection, monitoring and targeted prevention measures, we prevent pests such as mice, rats and insects from gaining access to your company.

At KillBugs we ensure a HACCP-compliant approach that meets the strictest requirements of food safety. This ensures you a safe, hygienic working environment and you meet all legal obligations.

What is HACCP and how does KillBugs apply it?

H.A.C.C.P. staat voor Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. Het is een internationaal erkend systeem dat gericht is op het identificeren, beoordelen en beheersen van risico’s die de voedselveiligheid kunnen bedreigen. Voor bedrijven die met voeding werken — zoals horeca, voedingsverwerkende industrie, winkels en opslagplaatsen — is een goed uitgewerkt H.A.C.C.P.-plan niet alleen essentieel, maar ook wettelijk verplicht.

An important part of this plan is pest prevention. Pests such as mice, rats, cockroaches or flies can contaminate food and endanger the health of consumers. Therefore, as a company, you must be able to demonstrate that you are actively taking measures to prevent and control pests.

How KillBugs applies HACCP pest prevention

At KillBugs we offer a complete HACCP compliant pest prevention plan, tailored to your business. We use an effective, preventive approach that consists of:

• A thorough risk analysis of the building and its surroundings
• Placement of monitoring and control systems at strategic locations
• 2-monthly checks carried out by us
• Digital or physical reporting after each inspection (including photos and recommendations)
• Advies op maat voor structurele of hygiënische verbeteringen

Onze aanpak voldoet aan alle vereisten van het Federaal Agentschap voor de Veiligheid van de Voedselketen (FAVV) en helpt je om zonder zorgen audits en controles te doorstaan.

As a baker, you work with raw materials, dough, sugar and heat on a daily basis – an ideal environment for pests such as mice, moths, cockroaches and flour beetles. At KillBugs, we help your bakery stay pest-free, with a tailor-made preventive approach, fully in accordance with HACCP standards and the requirements of the FAVV (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain).

Why is pest prevention essential for bakeries?

Flour, sugar and heat attract vermin. One mouse or moth in your production area can be enough to throw away an entire production. In addition, the FAVV sets strict requirements for hygiene and food safety. During an inspection, even a small trace of vermin can lead to a warning, fine or temporary closure.

A professional HACCP pest prevention plan is therefore not a luxury, but a must for every bakery.

Pests such as mice, flies, moths or cockroaches can spread quickly through large retail spaces, storage areas or food departments. They pose a direct threat to food safety, hygiene and customer satisfaction.

In the food industry, hygiene, traceability and food safety are of vital importance. A single mouse, moth or cockroach can lead to contamination, loss of production, recalls or a negative FAVV audit. KillBugs is the specialist in professional pest prevention for food processing companies, fully in accordance with the HACCP principles and the guidelines of the FAVV.

Why is pest control essential in the food industry?

Production environments with raw materials, moisture, heat and ventilation ducts attract pests such as mice, rats, moths, cockroaches and beetles. The presence of pests in or near a production area poses serious risks:

• Productbesmetting
• FAVV-non-compliance
• Interruption of production
• Damage to reputation and customer confidence
• Financial losses due to recalls or destruction of batches

A sound HACCP pest prevention plan is therefore not optional, but an essential part of any food safety policy.

In the world of logistics, storage and distribution, everything revolves around flow, efficiency and traceability. But one mouse, beetle or moth in a warehouse can lead to product contamination, damage claims or blocking an entire batch during a FAVV inspection. KillBugs offers specialized pest prevention for logistics and warehousing, fully in line with the applicable HACCP guidelines.

Why Pest Prevention is Critical for Warehouses and Distribution Centers

Logistical environments are an attractive habitat for pests: many hiding places, large volumes of goods, changing temperatures and frequent movement of goods. The risk of contamination is particularly high when storing food, ingredients or packaging materials.

• Product loss or contamination

• Damage to reputation or customer relations
• Stilstand door blokkade van goederen
• Fines or sanctions during inspections
