The most dependent industry for Mankind survival marks this industry. Industry itself is very compliant and complex because perfection is needed to graft any drug. Unlike other industries the standards are to be in toes for success of the product, which contributes to development of the company in this industry. Intake of drugs has increased multi fold and almost people of all age group are consuming drugs for their living. The industry revolves around patents that are obtained by big MNC’s, who have set up the industrial units in India for extensive production. All the big governing statutory audit bodies like FDA, USFDA, AIB, ISO will have its role charted out in governing the compliances and so pest control solutions needs to be designed and devised in accordance to the standards implications. Pharmaceutical industries usually whelm out of city areas and so they attract more kinds of pests. To tackle the pest menace in the industry, integrated comprehensive solutions are required.

Commonly found pests in this industry include Rodents, Flies, Mosquitoes and Lizards

 Rodents are the only pest species which has the combative power of all three pest behaviors which include, damaging health, damaging health and creating nuisance to the client. They are that dangerous that not only damages the cables, wires, networks by chewing but also can damage expensive equipments thereby creating huge wealth loss. Rodents are dangerous pests as they carry viruses which can damage the health of the mankind. Since this pest has lethal trio attacking power, strategies with preventive nature needs to be deployed. Based on the type of Rodent, the solution framework is done. Rats generally refer to House Mouse and Roof Rat can be controlled by BGT Technology. BGT technology is abbreviated as Baiting, Gluing and Trapping. Bandicoots are the other type which can be controlled only by extensive Baiting technology.

In this Industry, the common place of infestation of Rodents will be landscaping areas, Stores, Canteen kitchen, Production areas, Electrical Panels, Boiler areas. Rodent Control Solutions Includes

•   Identification of entry points
•   Baiting the burrows in external periphery
•   Placement of Glue traps or metal traps based on feasibility and thereby creating Line of Defence(LOD)
•   Monitoring and changing the position of traps based on Rodent Movement

Flies are nuisance creating and health damaging pests which are commonly sighted in almost all Pharma oriented companies, without proper care the company will face market complaints and thereby loses its reputation and goodwill. Fly control with good pest control techniques will control only to some extent. Partnering aspect in Fly control is really crucial. Improper air flows, non maintenance of fly trappers can make the situation worst in which flies will be entering in to the production section and disturbs the production. So we are here to give appropriate solution which ensures the restriction of flies inside the company’s key Production and Quality areas. Deny food, water, shelter is the 3D phenomenon which correlates to high standard sanitation and hygiene maintenance in a Factory.  Flies can carry molecules that can cause health defects and so without neglecting them, we need to get rid of them. Fly control is needed in the breeding places, usually refers to Raw materials area, washing areas, production areas, quality areas, ETP Section, Scrap yard, Production Tank areas and canteen areas. Fly control strategies are pressurized air spray, mechanical trapping to plastic gummers, electrical trapping with Fly killers and catchers and Fly bait. Apart from judicious air spraying, sowing granules, Partnering aspect is required to totally avoid Flies to the property.

Based on the feasibility of the place, the trapping strategies have to be deployed and the customer is given complete picture of how to set up the equipment to restrict fly entry. Our Solutions includes

•   Identification of source for breeding and tackling pest with techniques
•   Checking the feasibility for placement of electrical fly killers or fly catchers and placement of fly catchers
•   Air flow equipment structuring and placement
•   Fly sticking plastic ribbons placement based on feasibility

Mosquitoes is the pest which gives no peaceful rest to the customer. Mosquitoes carry all types of deadly diseases like Malaria, Dengue, and chicken gunya. So Preventive strategies are the essential need of the hour and maintaining mosquito menace with combination of techniques will be the key practice that needs to be adopted. Mosquitoes are pests that are dangerous because of their faster reproduction, willingness to travel up to 3 Km distance and have high resistance to chemicals. So Mosquito management will be a combination of Repelling, Controlling and Residual effects techniques.

In Offices, Mosquitoes are driven by surrounding moving water bodies, garbage areas, green lusture and stagnant water in drains and other places around the periphery of the building. For managing mosquito menace, we have Solutions which includes

•   Anti Larvae Treatment, which is done on stagnant water bodies, where in we are controlling the mosquitoes at Larvae Level. In Pharma Companies this   treatment is required in landscaping areas, ETP
•   Repellent treatment, which is done to drive away the adult mosquitoes with good odor. In Pharma Companies  this treatment is required in                       Accommodation, Offices
•   Power equipment controllers like mist blowers and fogging machines are used to drive the adult mosquitoes by using Eco Friendly Chemicals. In             Offices it is done in cellars, building peripheries
•   Residual Sprays are done using ULV Foggers in the inside areas of offices, stores during shut down

Lizards are reptiles that are found in evening times in the corridors and shafts of offices. They tend to create fear and nuisance amongst the employees and cause danger of mixing with food items.. Though this reptile is not significant in creating any health hazards, by the appearance it fears humans. Lizards generally enter the place to trap the insects for its prey and so usually Lizards are visible when lights are ON in the evening time. Lizards are pests that can be repelled out and can be avoided with Good Partnering aspects. Lizard control solutions are thereby planned by either repelling them out or spotting them and spraying to trap them.

In Offices, lizards are generally found in the external wall periphery and with entry points they enter and reside in rest rooms, shafts, AHU Rooms, Corridors and external periphery of the Office. Lizard control solutions includes

•   Identification of entry points
•   Usage of repellants and spot spray chemicals
•   Plans for prevention and exclusion
•   Monitoring in the evening time and repeating the sprays.
