Pharmaceutical

"In Pharma, even one pest is too many."

Pest Hub is here to keep your site pest-free, audit-ready ready and compliant 24/7.

1. Prevention & Exclusion
We proactively seal entry points—using door sweeps, screens, weather stripping—and inspect critical zones (storage, production, loading docks) to block pest access.

2. Monitoring & Inspection
Regular scheduled inspections, digital monitoring systems, and trend analysis help us detect early signs (droppings, marks, insect traces) and respond quickly.

3. Baiting & Targeted Treatments
We strategically deploy baits and attractants in pest-prone zones (warehouses, production areas) and combine them with safe pesticide methods where needed—always following strict safety protocols.

4. Safe Pesticide Use & Non-Chemical Methods
When chemical intervention is required, we use only pharmaceutical-safe formulations, applied via sprays, dusts or bait systems per regulatory guidelines. We also use alternatives (e.g. fumigation, heat, fogging) depending on need.

5. Sanitation & Hygiene Controls
We will support internal best practices: sealed waste containment, regular surface cleaning, and proper staff training on hygiene to deny pest attractants.

6. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Our ecosystem-based approach combines all methods above, tailored to your facility. Ongoing adaptation, data insights, and preventive planning keep your site protected long term.

Why Pharmaceutical Facilities Require Top-Tier Pest Control

Key topics of GDP pest control (Chapter 3) training

• Preventative measures: The guidelines emphasise proactive prevention to protect products from insects, rodents, and other animals. This includes structural integrity to prevent entry points.

• Preventive pest control programme: A formal programme should be in place, outlining how pest control is managed. This includes regular monitoring and inspections.

• Maintenance and cleanliness: A fundamental principle is maintaining a clean environment, free from litter and dust, to discourage pests. Proper waste management is also essential.

• Separation of areas: Designated areas for storage and other activities should be separated. Restrooms and refreshment rooms for employees must be kept away from product storage to reduce the risk of attracting pests.

• Prohibition of food and drink: No food, drink, or smoking materials are allowed in storage areas, as they can attract pests.

• Outsourcing pest control: The guidelines detail how to properly manage outsourced activities, including pest control. This requires assessing the suitability and competence of the pest control contractor to ensure they meet GDP standards.

• Recording and documentation: All pest control activities, including inspections, findings, and remediation, must be meticulously documented. This is critical for audits.

• Auditing compliance: Training would also cover how to audit against the GDP guidelines. For example, failing to have a documented preventive pest control programme would be noted as a non-conformance.
