Food & Dairy / Hygiene/bacteria
English term or phrase: food pests
This is from a food safety module and is included in the section of keeping a clean kitchen:

'to prevent food pests such as ants, mice, flies etc.'

How would 'food pests' be translated into Spanish (castellano)?

We are considering using 'plagas alimentarias' but we'd appreciate some verification please.
