Common agricultural pests and their impact

Farms regularly deal with various agricultural pests. These pests can disrupt production, contaminate feed, or damage property. Pest issues can affect everything from grain storage to the well-being of animals in livestock facilities. Common agricultural pests include:

  • Stored grain pests, including beetles and weevils infestations, can impact the marketability of grain and other stored commodities.
  • Rodents, like rats and mice, are often found in and around barns, necessitating professional barn pest control measures like rodent baiting.
  • Insects affecting livestock environments

Good farm hygiene and strong biosecurity are key. We support crop protection strategies that form part of wider agricultural pest management plans, reducing reliance on chemical controls while preserving yield and quality.

Animal welfare and production rely on environments protected from pests. In livestock facilities, pests such as flies, rodents, and insects can lead to stress in animals. They can also cause disease transmission and contamination of feed or water sources.

Our technicians understand the specific challenges of maintaining farm hygiene. We use tailored agricultural pest management approaches to help reduce pest pressure. This includes in and around animal housing, including poultry farms and dairy barns. From proactive monitoring to exclusion techniques, our methods are designed to fit the needs of your operation.

Fumigation services for farms

Farms often store high volumes of crops and animal feed, which can attract stored product insects if not properly protected. Our commodity fumigation service is designed to address infestations at the source. While fumigation can be a fast-acting solution, it's typically most effective as part of a larger agricultural pest control services plan, including prevention and monitoring.

Our range of fumigation services can help manage pest infestations.

Organic farming practices are on the rise. Consumers have become more informed about what is in their food and where it is coming from. Ehrlich utilizes Integrated Pest Management as a part of their pest control practice. Integrated Pest Management is an environmentally sensitive, yet effective, pest management approach that uses a combination of methods to control pest infestations. 

Integrated Pest Management does not use pesticides as a first response, but uses physical and mechanical pest control methods to avoid damage to crops, people, and the environment. If pesticides are used, Ehrlich specialists ensure only targeted applications are done and all pesticide label directions are followed.
