Coldline Pest Assurance · Pinchot Yards, Durmont & the Saltery Road corridor · Food-logistics IPM, audited since 2014
Your auditor reads our files before you do.
Coldline runs pest programs for freezers, docks and processing floors the way inspectors like them found: monitors on a numbered grid, placements keyed to the count, a trend chart for every station. Rodents at the dock levelers, drain flies under the slab, meal moths in the racking — each gets its own program, its own paperwork, and a zero-findings history your auditor can verify in one binder.
Services
The four programs
01
Dock & trailer program — from $310 / month
The loading dock is a pest’s front door and every leveler is a gap under it. Rodent stations on an exterior ring, snap and multi-catch inside the dock plate voids, trailer seals inspected and logged, and the door-track gaps brushed. Counts per station, per week, graphed monthly — the auditor’s first stop and our best-kept file.
02
Processing-floor small flies — from $240 / month
Drain flies and phorid flies are different animals with different breeding sites, and a treatment aimed at the wrong one is money hosed down the drain. We key the species from monitor catches, foam the drains that breed them, and map the source — under-slab breaks get found by the count, not by the jackhammer.
03
Stored-product insects — from $195 / month
Indian meal moth and warehouse beetle programs run on pheromone grids across the racking: lures numbered, catches counted, and the infested lot mapped and quarantined before it ships. Placement goes at the shelving voids and the pallet bases — never on food-contact surfaces, always on the log.
04
The audit binder — $480 / year, assembled
SDS sheets by product and registration number, placement logs by station ID, monthly trend charts, corrective actions with dates and closes. Built in the format third-party food auditors already read, delivered quarterly, and walked with your QA lead before the audit — because the audit is a bad time to learn your paperwork has gaps.
The zero-findings standard
If a third-party auditor cites a pest-program deficiency on a facility Coldline has serviced for two consecutive quarters, the corrective work and the re-audit preparation are on us. Six years, forty-one facilities, no citations — the standard is the contract.
The Coldline method
Monitors first, always
Calendar spraying a food facility is how a clean plant fails an audit — residue where product runs and evidence nowhere. Every Coldline program opens with a numbered monitor grid and closes on the count: placement follows the catch, the catch drives the trend chart, and the chart is what your auditor, your insurer and your largest customer all read the same way. Materials are chosen for food-plant tolerance — gels in locked stations, biologicals in drains, dusts sealed in voids — and re-entry for your crew is the length of a shift change.
Printed, no contract
Three ways to put us on the floor

How a program runs
Map the floor
Dock, drains, racking, break room, freezer vestibule — every station numbered, every monitor logged, the grid drawn on your floor plan before anything is placed.
Close the door
Dock levelers, door tracks, trailer seals, the gap behind the dock plate: brushed, sealed and inspected weekly. Exclusion is the cheapest chemistry on the floor.
Place by count
Gels in locked stations, biologicals in the drains, pheromone at the racking — placement follows the monitor count, never the calendar.
Prove it
Counts charted against the baseline month over month, corrective actions dated and closed, and the binder delivered quarterly in the auditor’s own shape.

Inside the facilities
Six stations off last quarter’s service weeks. The photography is deliberately plain — the trend chart is the beauty shot in this trade.
The corridor, in figures
Our GFSI audit used to open with the pest section and a folder I did not trust. Now it opens with Coldline’s binder — station logs, trend charts, closed corrective actions — and the auditor skimmed it in nine minutes and moved on. Nine minutes. It used to take a morning.
Two years of drain fly complaints traced by everyone to the drains. Coldline keyed the catch as phorid in one week, mapped the source to a slab break under the wash line, and the count chart proved the fix. Everyone else had been foaming the symptom for twenty-four months.
The Corridor plan put four buildings on one dashboard, and the month the moth counts ticked up in Building 3, the chart caught it before a pallet shipped. My largest customer now asks for the trend chart by name. That is not a sentence I expected to say.
Before you call
Questions from the QA desk
The five that come up on every first walk-through. Anything else, the office answers the number below, six to six, corridor time.
Can you match our audit scheme’s paperwork?
That is the service. The binder is assembled to the shape third-party food auditors read — product names and registration numbers, placement logs by station ID, monthly trend charts, corrective actions with dates and closes — and a tech walks it with your QA lead before the audit. If your scheme has a house format, we have probably built one already; bring the template to the walk-through.
Do you service organic-certified facilities?
Yes, on a dedicated materials track: non-synthetic exclusions, mechanical trapping, pheromone monitoring, and sanitation-first protocols, documented to satisfy the organic reviewer alongside the pest auditor. The monitor grid is identical — the placement list is what changes, and the chart does not care either way.
What if the audit cites a pest finding anyway?
Then the corrective work and the re-audit preparation are ours to fund — the zero-findings standard, printed in the agreement. It has never been invoked: six years, forty-one facilities. The standard exists because a guarantee you have never paid on is still doing its job every week the counts come back clean.
Can you work around production and shipments?
Service weeks run to your clock: nights, weekends, dock-down windows, freezer entries in pairs. Placements are voids and locked stations — re-entry for your crew is a shift change, the log sheet travels with the tech, and no dock has ever waited on us. The calendar we keep is yours.
Why monitors instead of a monthly treatment?
Because an auditor does not ask what you sprayed; they ask what you placed, where, when, and what the counts did next. Calendar treatment leaves residue and no evidence. A monitor grid leaves evidence and no residue — and it costs less, because placement follows the count instead of the calendar. The trend chart is the whole argument.
