Product and Food Safety

Begins With Pest Management

• Are you protecting your customers, your products, and your company's reputation.

• Are you providing proactive service or are you reacting to pest issues?

• Can you provide the service documentation that is needed to comply with regulations?

• Have you outgrown the tools you're using now? Are they now antiquated and inadequate to survive in today's business environment?

With over fifteen years of international use, the easy-to-use U-Trap-It* Pest Management System provides a very efficient method to collect information and manage a commercial or industrial Pest Management Plan with intelligence, Pest Environment Intelligence.      

Pest Environmental Intelligence System - Proactive versus Reactive  

The most important benefit of using the U-Trap-It System is that it takes Integrated Pest Management to the next level. That level is Integrated Pest Prevention (IPP) which means stopping pest invasions before they occur. It is no longer an acceptable management practice to wait to see if pests gain access. Pest prevention is now the required operating standard. The Pest Environment Intelligence (PEI) that U-Trap-It gathers during normal servicing is analyzed to help the user proactively approach pest management (IPP). This gives the user the ability to provide the utmost protection for food, pharmaceutical, healthcare, distribution, lodging facilities, or any other pest-sensitive environment. Without PEI information the user would be left with reacting to issues after they have already become a problem. Reactionary pest management greatly increases the risk of harm, damage, contamination, and disease. Reacting to pests also requires an increased use of pesticides and causes an increase in overall costs and man hours to correct.

Examples of not taking proper care of pest management are constantly in the news. The most recent nationwide event sickened hundreds of people and caused the recall of hundreds of products. It bankrupt the multi-state company involved. These well known incidents prove the importance of pest prevention and use of the U-Trap-It System.

Prevention is also impacted by supply chain product integrity. Product integrity can be better assured by having the U-Trap-It System in place at supplier locations too. Their use of the U-Trap-It System clearly demonstrates that they take pest prevention seriously.

Facility Assessments

The first step in accomplishing IPP is conducting periodic Facility Assessments to proactively evaluate the entire facility for issues that could affect pest management.  A thorough and easy-to-use method of conducting Facility Assessments is incorporated into the U-Trap-It System. If any issues are found then the System goes further to track the resolution of the issues to ensure they are corrected.  

Eases Compliance

Not only does the U-Trap-It System help the user achieve a higher level of service but by using the U-Trap-It System it also greatly simplifies record keeping and eases compliance with regulations and audits. What would take many hours to accomplish if attempted with antiquated punch card records, is done in seconds with the U-Trap-It System, and far more accurately. The System helps the user simplify compliance with GFSI, BRC, FDA, AIB, SQF, ISO 22000 and other regulatory or QA requirements.   

Tracks Factors Affecting Pest Efforts

No other system is even closely comparable to what the U-Trap-It System accomplishes. The U-Trap-It System is far more than a mere monitoring system used to record the date of pest control device inspections. To start, It gives the user the ability to capture far greater detail than would be possible with written records.  An important example is that System also captures sanitation and maintenance issues while inspecting service locations. These are issues that could be jeopardizing pest management efforts.  The System then tracks the status of these issues to assure that corrective actions are taken for them to be properly resolved. The System also now includes user customizable Auto-Computed Alerts which will provide notice if an adverse condition exceeds a threshold or a condition is met that requires action.

Communication - A Key to Pest Management Plan Success

In industrial pest management there are a multitude of complex issues which can contribute to pest problems. Many are beyond the control of the service provider such as sanitation and maintenance issues which require corrective actions to be taken by the facility's personnel. U-Trap-It builds a team approach between the service provider and facility personnel to conquer tough industrial pest management issues by providing a communication channel. Communication is the key ingredient in creating synergy to successfully establish a pest free environment.   

Worldwide Use in All Settings

With U-Trap-It, no job is too big or too small. The System can easily handle tens of thousands of devices deployed in a city or in a plant facility, or the System can track services and inspections of thousands of rooms in a hotel or dormitory. It is in use at companies large and small, from Fortune 100 food facilities to local restaurants.

The U-Trap-It System will ensure Pest Management Plan success. It is an essential management tool for "When and Where Pest Management Matters".
