Pest Control on Farms

Farmers work hard to get good quality produce but so often the maintenance
of a pest controlled environment gets missed amongst the apparently more
urgent demands.

As farmers 'downsize', effective pest control provisions can often get
overlooked.

As 'farm to table' audit trails are demanded by supermarkets, increased
pressure is placed upon farmers by their customers. Food manufacturers
insist on a proper record of pest activity, materials used and progress
achieved.

As 'Ecological Warriors' worry about contamination to the food chain, COSHH
assessments and method statements are required.

As 'Margin Enhancement' is being urged by banks and accountants, efforts
have to be made to reduce costs and improve sales value.

Pest Control in Grain Stores

The season is completed, drilling, spraying, harvesting and the produce is
finally in the store - grain, carrots, sugar beets, onions, and vegetables.
Care for your valuable products should be your number one priority, take
steps to ensure that this is the case right now.

Rats & mice will foul far more than they eat and therefore, if they haven't
stolen your produce for their own food, will have debased its value to your
customer by contamination. They also represent hazards to health and can
cause endless amounts of damage to your buildings.

Pigeons & starlings are flying rodents for pest control purposes. They will
bring in Salmonella, E-Coli and other diseases along with debris and old
nesting materials, whilst they too eat their fill of your hard won harvests.

Stored product pests like saw tooth grain beetles, weevils, flour beetles
and mites help themselves to your grain. It is so easy to put the grain
harvest in store, sell it forward and then forget about it whilst looking
after the work for the next year's crop. That is until it goes off the farm
and gets returned - 'rejected'.
