About Pest Management
Pest Management covers the control of pests in places where a single one can cause harm. Airports appear in several pieces, with Bangalore International Airport on the technology it uses round the clock and I Pest Solutions on the hidden zones behind the terminal. Pharma units, where regulators audit regularly and some facilities tolerate no pests at all, and food processing plants such as Galla Foods show how pest control ties into hygiene standards.
Bedbugs get their own attention, with experts from Terramica and PestEDGE EnviroCare on why infestations are hard to beat and how to tackle them. Other articles cover fumigation and its challenges, drones used by Mumbai's civic body to spray against mosquitoes, sustainable pest management with Clarke and how clients and pest control providers should communicate.
The section is written for facility managers, QA and hygiene teams in pharma and food plants, airport operators and pest control professionals.
