Pest management isn’t a luxury for commercial operations; it’s a necessity. An uncontrolled pest population threatens your reputation, compliance standing, and bottom line. A single pest incident can compromise product integrity, trigger audit failures, expose your organization to regulatory penalties, and damage customer trust. The cost of inaction far exceeds the investment in proactive pest management.
For more than 120 years, McCloud Pest Solutions has understood this critical responsibility. Founded in 1904 in Chicago’s stockyards by William Bailey McCloud, our company emerged as a leader in modern commercial pest control. From those industrial origins to today’s sophisticated integrated pest management operations, McCloud has earned the trust of over half of the largest food-related brands in the United States. Our acquired Midwest expertise, spanning Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, and Wisconsin, combined with extensive industry knowledge, positions us as the regional authority your operation can depend on.
Holistic Pest Control Solutions
McCloud doesn’t approach pest management as a commodity service. We deploy an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy that emphasizes prevention, monitoring, and targeted intervention rather than blanket chemical applications. This approach protects your business, employees, and customers while delivering measurable results.
Our modern platform combines field expertise with digital intelligence via electronic data-collection systems that capture real-time pest activity, treatment details, and environmental conditions at every service visit. You gain immediate access to our web portal to review inspection reports, verify treatments, track trends, and demonstrate compliance to auditors and regulators. Your pest management program becomes transparent, accountable, and continuously optimized; no more waiting for paper reports or missing critical data points.
When facing a pest threat during production cycles or critical service days, McCloud’s responsive support ensures you’re never waiting for help.
McCloud’s Commercial Pest Control Services
McCloud delivers comprehensive pest control services tailored to commercial environments. Our board-certified entomologists and highly trained technicians understand not just how to eliminate pests, but why they appear in your facility and how to prevent their return. Each service is customized to your operation’s specific vulnerabilities and regulatory requirements.
Fly Management
House flies, fruit flies, drain flies, and phorid flies contaminate surfaces, land on food products, and signal sanitation failures to health inspectors and customers. McCloud’s No Fly Zone™ programs address the full spectrum of fly challenges, including large filth flies, small flies, and overwintering flies, through integrated strategies.
Our programs combine electronic fly control devices, targeted treatments, and source elimination. We locate breeding sites, eliminate harborage areas, and install professional-grade equipment positioned for maximum effect. Furthermore, our technicians apply their understanding of the behavioral patterns of different fly species to intercept infestations before they become visible problems.
Cockroach Control
Cockroaches are a health threat in commercial facilities, transmitting disease-causing bacteria and triggering allergic reactions in employees and customers. American, Brownbanded, German, and Oriental cockroaches are the primary species affecting commercial operations. McCloud’s IPM approach reduces activity through pest exclusion and sanitation protocols, along with regular inspections, tailored treatments, and monitoring to detect and eliminate activity. Our strategy reduces cockroach populations sustainably while minimizing reliance on chemical applications.
Bird Management
Bird droppings, nesting materials, and associated health hazards at food processing plants, warehouses, retail centers, and hospitality venues can trigger audit failures and health code violations. Most native birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits disturbing active nests, though pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are exempt.
Our bird management specialists employ multiple exclusion strategies tailored to your facility and bird species. Bird deterrents we install include: BirdSlide®, our UV-stabilized polycarbonate triangular inserts that create a sloped, non-grippable surface on ledges and beams, to prevent birds from landing; Bird-Flite® metal or plastic spikes; and Daddi Long Legs® stainless steel rods.
Stored Product Pest Prevention
Food commodity storage, processing, and distribution facilities face unique pest pressures from beetles, moths, mites, and other stored product pests. McCloud focuses on protecting food industry operations through rigorous monitoring, sanitation protocols, and strategic prevention interventions. Our team understands the regulatory requirements and audit standards your facility must meet.
Our technicians assess the problem and its severity to inform their pest control strategy, such as using humane pheromone mating or ultra-low volume space treatments to eradicate persistent pests.
Rodent Control
Rodents represent perhaps the most consequential pest threat to commercial operations. Mice and rats contaminate food, damage infrastructure, and trigger immediate audit failures. McCloud’s rodent control program emphasizes detection, exclusion, and elimination. We identify entry points, seal structural gaps, strategically deploy bait and trapping systems, and monitor population trends.
Bed Bug Management
Bed bugs can transform a well-managed property into an operational and reputational challenge. For hospitality, multi-family housing, and healthcare properties, sightings lead to guest complaints and costly remediation. McCloud’s bed bug service provides thorough inspections (including neighboring units), thermal remediation heating infested areas to 120°F or higher, conventional chemical treatment with EPA-labeled pesticides, and containerized fumigation for infested furnishings. Follow-up monitoring with detection devices and educational programs ensures complete elimination and prevents re-infestation.
Commercial Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes affect both visitor experience and staff well-being in hotels, resorts, event venues, healthcare campuses, and industrial facilities. Our commercial mosquito service begins with site-specific assessments to identify breeding and harborage sites, followed by scheduled treatments designed to reduce populations throughout your grounds and building perimeter.
Specialist Commercial Services
Beyond traditional pest control, McCloud offers specialist services to manage emerging facility challenges and compliance requirements.
Flexi Armour Exclusion System
Prevention is always superior to remediation. McCloud’s Flexi Armour Exclusion System protects vulnerable facilities through two innovative products. The Flexi Armour Shield features durable adhesive sheets that create barriers against crawling pests while allowing visual inspection from above. The Flexi Armour Seal is a permanent sealant solution for gaps, cracks, and other entry points, providing long-term protection. These exclusion tools reduce pest populations at the source and decrease reliance on ongoing chemical treatments.
Site Disinfection Services
McCloud addresses biological contamination through professional site disinfection services. Whether responding to pest-related facility contamination or disinfection needs, our team applies hospital-grade protocols and materials to ensure your facility meets the highest sanitation standards. Following significant or prolonged infestations, we use Disinfectix™, our professional disinfection service with EPA-approved products and fine-mist application technology, to ensure rapid facility re-occupancy without compromising sanitation standards.
Food Safety Audit Protection
For food-related operations, pest management directly determines audit success or failure. Our experienced entomologists develop customized protocols that exceed GFSI, BRC, FSSC 22000, SQF, AIB, and NSF audit standards.
We prepare your facility for third-party audits through extensive documentation, maintaining treatment records, conducting regular inspections, and eliminating pest findings. When auditors evaluate your facility, they’re evaluating your pest management partner’s performance as much as yours.
