Do you trust standardized pest control frameworks to improve hygiene safety in local hotels and restaurants?
Marlon Ferreira has officially secured a UK trademark for the PACCP-X framework, an operational system designed for pest and termite control. The seven-part framework is already in use by organizations like PESTMAC 3G in Sri Lanka and is expanding into the hospitality sector via a new program in the Maldives.
Why it matters
The framework provides pest management teams with a structured approach to identify root causes and strengthen preventative measures. By formalizing this methodology, the initiative aims to professionalize and standardize pest control across the food and hospitality industries.
The granted trademark UK00004413460 covers seven distinct operational areas within the PACCP-X framework. These areas include root cause analysis, predictive analytics, and containment strategies.

Timeline

Market Landscape
The formalization of the PACCP-X framework mirrors the industry move toward standardizing specialized safety protocols, similar to the ISO 22000 food safety management standard. By securing this trademark, the framework shifts from a proprietary method to a structured, licensable industry program.
Businesses operating in the hospitality and food sectors can expect access to new pest-risk assessment tools starting in October 2026. These programs aim to provide standardized reporting and staff training that may improve long-term facility maintenance and safety compliance.
The takeaway
The transition of the PACCP-X framework into a licensed program reflects a broader trend of digitizing manual pest control processes through data-driven analysis. Operators should monitor for upcoming training opportunities to bring their teams into compliance with these new digital monitoring standards.
