“Mr. Tomion accomplished this goal by spending considerable time in the production facility on a weekly basis. He methodically considered and explored all options and causes related to the pest occurrence. His tenacity and concern was quite evident to the Giovanni Food Company management and has earned our respect and admiration for all his hard work and efforts.
In preparation for the renewal of this year’s SQF audit Platinum Pest Control performed all functions our prior pest control company provided for the previous year’s SQF assessment. Also Mr. Tomion made himself directly available to the SQF auditor for any questions or concerns she had regarding pest control. The auditor found Platinum Pest Control to be compliant and satisfactory in all areas of the SQF code. She was particularly impressed with the trending data analysis Mr. Tomion generated for the Giovanni Food Company.” -Alan P., Quality Manager, Giovanni Food Companies

Every auditor has been very impressed with our pest control program and the results that we achieve. We continually score within an excellent rating onevery audit and have never had a non-conformance written for pest control. We are audited underSQF(level 3), Eggland’s Best, Sysco, FDA, United Egg Producers Animal Welfare Program and our CAFO plan.
We feel that the values of Platinum Pest Control align very closely with our values in that we both realize for eggs to be produced Salmonella free a strong rodent elimination program must be followed.
