GPA Presentation on Inspection, Prevention and Monitoring (IPM) at Boot Camp on Audit-Compliant Pest Management Programmes for the Food Industry

Our Managing Partner, Giridhar B Pai , participated in the above PestPro Learning Hub Programme on 5 and 6 September 2026 at Pendekanti Institute of Management, Hyderabad, and shared the following aspects with the participants.

Traditional pest management often defaults to reactive extermination with pesticides, but blanket spraying introduces unnecessary health hazards and residues into sensitive food facilities.

The future of sustainable Integrated Pest Management (IPM) lies in non-toxic prevention and data-driven monitoring practices.

At Giridhar Pai Associates LLP (GPA), we empower commercial facilities, food processors, and quality assurance teams to shift from reactive spraying to proactive exclusion and pest monitoring.

A robust, low-pesticide use IPM program relies on three proven interventions:

Physical Rodent Exclusion: Rather than relying solely on toxic baits that cause off-target contamination, permanent structural proofing stops entry before infestations start.

Tools like the RodeXit® All-In-One Rodent Seal (Santoprene™ embedded with solid stainless steel wires) provide chew-proof perimeter barriers beneath doors, while Rodent Proof Fill Fabric compresses and expands to permanently seal irregular utility penetrations.

Glass-Free Flying Insect Monitoring: Moving away from space-spraying aerosols, modern insect light traps protect sensitive food preparation and packaging zones.

The FLYght Duo UV LED trap utilizes patented bio-Visual Enhancer (bio-VE+) technology with 50,000-hour, glass-free UV-A LEDs to efficiently capture, trend, and monitor flies without glass breakage risks or high energy bills.

Pheromone-Based Early Warning Systems: Stored product insects (SPI) in raw materials and finished goods cause massive losses if left unchecked.

Deploying Trécé Inc. STORGARD® Monitoring Systems (including Dome traps and species-specific pheromones) detects trace populations of beetles and moths weeks before an infestation escalates, allowing pinpoint, localized sanitation instead of whole-facility fumigation.

Adopting non-toxic prevention and scientific monitoring reduces pesticide dependency, lowers compliance risks, and secures our food supply chain.

Giridhar Pai urged the participating Pest Management Professionals to make food pest management proactive, safe, and sustainable.

Stop Rodents Before They Enter With the Power of Non-Toxic Rodent Exclusion 🐀⚡

At Giridhar Pai Associates LLP (GPA), we believe safe, effective rodent management starts with Inspection, Prevention, and Monitoring (IPM), not reactive use of rodent traps and bait after a rodent infestation.

In the latest video on the GPA YouTube Channel, we highlight GPA’s partnership with Spain’s Barlesa, S.L. (Barlesa), a trusted, 3rd-generation family-owned company and a global leader in high-quality metal wool manufacturing, reinforcing our commitment to quality and reliability.

Discover how the Barlesa Pest Defender Fill Fabric (branded Rodent Proof by GPA for Asia) is designed for easy installation and low maintenance, making it practical for rodent proofing uneven gaps and conduits across Asia.

✨ Key Benefits of Rodent Proof Fill Fabric:

🚫 100% Rodent-Resistant: Stops gnawing rodents in their tracks.

🔥 Fire-Resistant: Safe for use around industrial, commercial, and utility conduits that are the most common rodent entry points in buildings.

🌿 Non-Toxic & Eco-Conscious: Exclusion methods that promote environmental responsibility, helping facility managers feel they are making a positive impact by eliminating reliance on toxic rodent baits and traps.

Scores of Indian Pest Management Companies and Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) have already upgraded their exclusion standards with GPA by using the RodeXit rodent seal and the Rodent Proof Fill Fabric.

If you are a facility manager, elevate your facility’s hygiene and compliance today with GPA’s rodent proofing tools!

If you are a PMP, offer rodent exclusion to your customers and expand your company’s capabilities and reach with non-toxic, sustainable rodent management that relies on prevention and eliminates the use of rodent traps and rodent bait.

What every E-commerce and Quick-commerce warehouse in India needs – An Effective Rodent Seal

Each week, we field enquiries mostly from pest management professionals (PMPs) serving E-commerce (e-com) and Quick-commerce (q-com) warehouses to protect them from pests, mainly rodents.

Many pest management professionals (PMPs) and warehouse owners believe that internal glueboard stations and external bait stations are sufficient, but these methods often fall short.

Clarifying these misconceptions helps highlight the need for more effective, long-term solutions like the Rodent Seal.

Several standards, mostly food safety ones, specify the spacing of rodent stations along internal and external walls, leading to the deployment of glueboards and bait stations in warehouses.

Those standards serve a limited purpose: trapping some rodents moving along walls and baiting others that seek bait from bait stations.

However, rodents don't follow standards; they move along walls and seek food, water, and shelter at each site, like a warehouse.

The limitations of 'standardised' rodent management highlight the need for a proactive approach: one that includes rodent prevention!

We want every PMP and warehouse owner to know: trapped rodents aren't the only ones present at a warehouse!

And trapping rodents doesn't stop rodents from coming into a warehouse!

Same with baiting.

Rodents killed by baiting are often replaced by more from the source.

A simple long-term rodent management strategy is to improve cleanliness and install rodent-exclusion devices to prevent entry.

GPA has already helped scores of Indian businesses install the RodeXit rodent seal at their warehouses to minimise the mice and rats entering their premises.

A one-time investment in RodeXit gives you peace of mind and protects your business from ongoing costs and unseen damage that can be incalculable.

Rodent proofing with RodeXit costs just INR 750 per foot length, and over its ten-year lifespan, it amounts to only INR 75 per year per foot.

This comparison demonstrates RodeXit's superior value over traditional trapping and baiting, encouraging warehouse owners to consider a more sustainable solution.

Unmanaged rodents nest, breed, and multiply inside warehouses, including at heights inside merchandise boxes.

Rodent damage can remain hidden in stores for a long time and, when discovered, can be a high-value loss to the property owner.

Following the recent state FDA action on FBOs for rodent occurrences on their premises, we hope E-com and Q-com companies now recognise the importance of rodent prevention and adopt RodeXit.

A one-time investment in RodeXit installation beneath shutters blocks rodents and helps avoid costly FDA regulatory actions, reinforcing the importance of compliance and proactive measures.

Mastering ChinChex: Dos & Don’ts for Effective Bed Bug Control

Dos for Safe and Effective ChinChex Application:

1. Wear a mask, gloves, and protect your hair with a net or cap to prevent dryness.

2. Close all windows, air-producing appliances, and filters before application.

3. Use a makeup brush to gently spread the product, as if you are painting.

4. Apply ChinChex in a very fine, barely visible layer.

5. Cover electrical appliances to prevent ChinChex dust from settling on them.

6. Target bed frames, mattresses, walls, sockets, and furniture where bed bugs may hide.

7. After application, leave the premises for at least one hour to allow the dust to settle.

8. Only clean excess dust from unnecessary areas (like floors) with a wet cloth or vacuum cleaner.

9. Dispense ChinChex into a small, hand-held container for easy application.

10. Minimise air currents to keep the dust in place, especially in semi-enclosed spaces.

11. Tap off excess powder from the brush against the container before use.

12. Re-enter the room only after one hour.

Don’ts to Ensure Safety and Effectiveness:

1. Do not apply ChinChex inside plug points.

2. Do not leave electrical or electronic appliances uncovered.

3. Do not use a HEPA filter vacuum to clean up ChinChex.

4. Do not apply over pillows or bedding surfaces.

5. Do not leave fans on during application.

6. Do not leave windows open while applying ChinChex.

7. Do not apply if you have any respiratory illness.

8. Do not over-apply or use excessive amounts.

9. Do not apply in heaps; bed bugs will avoid them.

10. Do not use in damp or high-humidity areas.

11. Do not apply near exposed food.

12. Do not re-enter the room immediately after application.

Follow these guidelines to make the most of ChinChex’s bed bug-fighting power while keeping your space safe and effective!
