The Summer Surge Roundtable | Watch the recording Now!

This summer, businesses across Australia and New Zealand are facing the dual challenge of a surge in flies and the hidden invasion of Stored Product Insects (SPIs). Both of these pests can have serious consequences, from contamination and product recalls to audit failures and reputational damage.

We recently hosted the "Summer Surge Roundtable," bringing together an expert panel to discuss how to build a unified, sustainable defence against these seasonal threats. Our experts - Juliana Elliott (HACCP International), Dr. Matt Green (Rentokil Initial), and Matthew Jones (Rentokil Initial), shared invaluable, actionable insights.

Our panel explored the challenge from every angle:

• Juliana Elliott provided the critical food safety and compliance perspective, explaining how summer pests can impact HACCP-critical control points in food processing environments. She also highlighted how a strong, documented data trail for pest monitoring is a powerful and proactive asset during an audit.

• Dr. Matt Green brought the scientific view, translating pest biology and behavior into real-world solutions. He discussed how data from digital sensors is reshaping our understanding of risks, helping businesses get ahead of the curve and stop "playing catch-up" against full-blown infestations.

• Matthew Jones offered deep operational expertise, sharing a tangible example of how a seemingly minor SPI issue can quickly escalate into a business-critical crisis. He focused on how to integrate smart technology into practical, day-to-day programs that drive accountability and scalable solutions.
