A friend to humans, yet an uninvited guest in factories

JingLong  Making Pest Control Easier

While cats and dogs are beloved companions of humans, they are uninvited intruders in places like factories. They may inadvertently bring in external microorganisms and contaminants, posing a potential threat to the cleanliness of the production environment and the safety of products.

Potential Hazards of Cats and Dogs to Enterprises

This threat is particularly acute in industries such as precision manufacturing, food processing and pharmaceutical production. If contaminants like animal hair, dander or excrement get mixed into products, it may not only compromise product quality but also trigger serious food safety incidents, harm consumers’ health and even undermine an enterprise’s reputation and economic benefits.

In addition, the movement of animals such as cats and dogs inside the factory may also damage production equipment, disrupt the production process, and even cause safety accidents. They may gnaw through wires and cables, leading to equipment malfunctions or short circuits; they may also scurry around machinery, increasing the risk of employees tripping or getting injured. These potential safety hazards not only affect the normal operation of the factory but also may pose a threat to the personal safety of employees.
For small animals that have strayed into the factory, we can conduct humane capture using cage trapping methods. So what preventive measures should we take before this?

Specific Measures to Prevent Animals from Entering the Factory

I.Environmental Renovation and Physical Protection

  • Conduct a comprehensive inspection of all factory entrances, windows, ventilation openings, cable trenches, drainage pipes and other openings to ensure there are no gaps that small animals can access.
  • Seal accessible gaps with materials such as metal mesh, wire mesh, fireproof bags and sealing clay.
  • Reinforce the protection of factory perimeter walls, conduct regular inspections of their integrity and repair damaged parts in a timely manner.

II.Eliminate Food Sources and Strengthen Sanitation Management

  • Conduct a thorough cleaning of the factory on a regular basis, remove garbage both inside and outside the factory, keep the environment clean and tidy, and prevent food residues from attracting animals.
  • Designate a special garbage storage area inside the factory, and inspect regularly to ensure that the garbage is completely cleared away.

Therefore, although animals such as cats and dogs play an important role in our daily lives, strict measures must be taken to prevent their entry into specific areas such as factories. This is not only out of consideration for product quality and production safety, but also a commitment to the physical and mental health of employees and the long-term development of the enterprise.
