Food Protection Specialists
Mike Holcomb is the owner and principle entomologist for Technical Directions, Inc. TDI's expertise is in stored product entomology, integrated pest management in FDA-regulated facilities, pesticide use and safety, sanitation, and GMPs in snackfood, cereal grain, pet food, bakery, bird seed, and other grain milling industries.
While we do not apply pesticides ourselves, TDI is often asked to make pesticide recommendations, or to provide guidance on insect control options, the use and selection of insect light traps, bird and rodent control strategies, pest population trending analysis, and insect pheromone monitoring devices. We also review IPM documentation and log reports, and provide guidance and recommendations to improve food safety results and assure compliance.
Whether its a customer, regulatory agency, contract cleaner, or pest control operator, we want to be your food safety advocate!
