Common Pests in Grocery Stores
Grocery stores face a range of pest threats that can harm inventory and health standards:
Rodents
Target stored food and produce, leading to contamination, structural damage, and potential disease spread.
Flies
Are frequently found near fresh food sections and waste disposal areas, transmitting bacteria onto exposed produce and other items.
Cockroaches
Thrive in stockrooms, kitchens, and waste areas, contaminating food and spreading allergens.
Stored Product Pests
Infest grains, cereals, and packaged goods, leading to product loss and regulatory concerns.
Ants
Can form colonies in and around grocery stores, searching for food and water sources.
