Pest Exclusion Strategies to Maintain an Effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Pest exclusion is an essential part of IPM, which acts as a first line of defence that involves sealing and securing all potential pest entry points to
prohibit pest from entering the premises. Eliminating pest entrance is very important as pests can easily penetrate into food processing facilities
through small gaps and cracks on walls.
