Common Pests in Grain Stores
Grain stores provide potential sources of food and shelter for a range of pests. Identifying activity early can help reduce the risk of contamination and damage to stored grain.
Rodent Control for Grain Stores
Rats and mice can cause significant problems within grain stores and agricultural buildings. As well as feeding on stored products, rodents can contaminate grain and damage sacks, packaging and parts of the building.
Bawcro provides professional rat control and mouse control for grain stores, farms and other agricultural premises.
Our approach can include inspection, monitoring, control and recommendations to help reduce the risk of further activity.
Stored Grain Insect Control
Stored grain can be affected by insects including weevils, beetles and moths. Once established, insect activity can spread through stored products and affect grain quality.
Bawcro provides targeted insect control for grain stores based on the pest identified, the extent of the problem and the individual storage environment.
Bird Control for Grain Stores
Pigeons and other pest birds can enter agricultural buildings and grain stores where they may feed on stored products and contaminate areas with droppings and nesting material.
Bawcro provides professional pigeon control and other bird management solutions for agricultural buildings and grain storage facilities.
Where appropriate, preventative measures can also be considered to help reduce access to the building.
Grain Fumigation
Where stored grain insect infestations require specialist treatment, Bawcro provides grain fumigation as part of our grain store pest control services.
Fumigation can provide an effective method of controlling insect pests affecting stored grain when appropriate for the individual situation.
Our grain fumigation services are carried out by trained professionals, with the treatment selected according to the pest problem, grain storage environment and requirements of the site.
If you are experiencing insect activity within stored grain, our team can assess the problem and recommend an appropriate course of action.
Grain Store Surveys and Pest Monitoring
Regular inspection and monitoring can help identify pest activity before it develops into a more serious problem.
Bawcro can survey grain stores to identify signs of rodents, insects and birds as well as potential areas where pests may be gaining access.
For agricultural businesses requiring ongoing support, regular monitoring can form part of a wider pest management programme tailored to the individual grain store and its level of risk.
Pest Proofing for Grain Stores
Reducing opportunities for pests to enter grain storage buildings is an important part of long-term pest management.
Gaps around doors, damaged building materials, service penetrations and other openings can provide potential access points for rodents and other pests.
Where appropriate, Bawcro can recommend or provide pest proofing to help reduce the risk of pest entry.
Protecting Stored Grain from Pest Damage
Pest activity in grain stores can result in contamination, physical damage and loss of stored products.
Rodents can damage packaging and structures, insects can infest stored grain and birds can contaminate storage areas.
Combining appropriate pest control with regular monitoring and preventative measures helps agricultural businesses identify problems earlier and reduce the risk of pest activity becoming established.
Ongoing Grain Store Pest Management
Some grain storage facilities require ongoing pest management rather than one-off treatment.
Bawcro can provide regular pest inspections and monitoring based on the individual premises, previous pest activity and risks associated with the site.
Where pest activity is identified, appropriate control measures can be implemented and recommendations made to help reduce future problems.
