BIRD CONTROL
IFC has a professional staff capable of assessing a pest bird situation and implementing the most appropriate deterrent measures for large and small projects.

ORGANIC SUPPORT
IFC knows the organic food industry and has been working with organically certified facilities even before USDA first introduced the official National Organic Program in 2000.
