Farming & Agriculture

Professional Pest Prevention

Whatever type of agriculture you are in, problems with pests are a major concern, not only for the potential loss of revenue through contamination or damage to your crops, but also possible damage to your property and equipment.

Rodents are a major problem to farmers as they can cause considerable damage as a result of their gnawing behaviour which, at least, could cause a hole in the fabric of a building and at worst electrical faults and flooding. Seasonal pests – predominantly flying insects – can not only cause distress to livestock but the spread of disease has been attributed to certain species of flying insects.

Rentokil Pest Control is experienced in providing farm pest control and has supported the farming community for many years not only by advising on Housekeeping, Proofing and Stacking to minimise the risk of infestation but also in providing solutions to pest problems ranging from rodents and insects to pest birds.
