Educate

As part of our pest prevention strategy, we begin by educating the site’s management and staff about the potential risks and necessary actions to maintain a pest-free environment. Agricultural feed sites are particularly susceptible to rodents, birds, and insects due to the nature of the materials stored and processed. We communicate the importance of ongoing vigilance, proper sanitation, and implementing specific measures to deter pests. This educational process helps the team understand their role in minimizing pest issues and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Evaluate

Given the high level of pest risk at this site, we conducted a thorough evaluation of potential vulnerabilities. This included identifying areas that could attract or harbor pests, such as storage areas, entry points, and outdoor spaces. Continuous monitoring and frequent inspections are critical to detect any early signs of pest activity. Our solution involves permanent bait stations for rodents, strategically placed to provide continuous control. For bird management, we use natural deterrents like hawks, along with trained dogs and periodic shooting exercises. This multi-layered approach helps us stay on top of potential threats before they escalate.

Eradicate

In addition to preventing infestations, compliance with regulatory standards is paramount. The site must meet audit requirements set by UFAS and HSE, which demand a clear audit trail of all pest management activities. Our team ensures that every action, from inspections to control measures, is meticulously documented and well-evidenced. This level of record-keeping guarantees that the site not only remains pest-free but also consistently meets or exceeds audit expectations. As a result, the facility is well-prepared for any audits, with all pest control procedures in place and thoroughly documented.
