Agricultural Pest Control

The importance of professional pest control in agriculture is best demonstrated by the damage pests can cause. Rodents like rats and mice are known to spread disease to livestock, contaminate grain storage and produce and damage supplies and equipment.

The team at MJ Backhouse have the experience and accreditations to carry out farm pest control management and preventative measures on farms, estates and other rural or agricultural environments.

We work with local farmers across Yorkshire to deal with pest infestations quickly and provide preventative measures to keep your land safe from pests. With farming and agriculture pest control, we know how damaging a pest problem can be to your profits and reputation so we also work with local businesses to provide a pest control contract service.

Common pests in the agricultural industry

Rats and mice– rodent control on farms can be tough, particularly in the winter months when they might seek shelter in barns and outbuildings.

Stored product insects- beetles and weevils can infest grains, causing damage to stock and reputation with customers.

Moles– garden moles can create a lot of damage on farmland and need to be controlled effectively to eradicate the problem.

Signs of an agricultural pest infestation

Signs of an agricultural pest infestation can vary widely but generally include visible damage to crops such as chewed leaves, stems, or fruits, and the presence of the pests themselves, such as insects, rodents, or birds, on the plants.

Farmers may also notice irregular growth patterns, discoloured or wilted plants, and a reduction in crop yields. Other indicators include holes or tunnels in the soil, which suggest the presence of burrowing pests, and the appearance of mould or mildew, which can be attracted by the activities of certain pests.
