Farm Pest Control

Welcome to the Farm Pest Control category. These posts are written for working farms and rural sites—practical, quick to apply, and focused on the real causes of repeat pest pressure: food, access and harbourage. Whether you’re seeing rats around feed stores, mice in barns, or pest birds roosting and fouling buildings, you’ll find straightforward checklists and prevention guidance here.

Most farm pest problems don’t start as “an infestation”. They build quietly: a bit of spill that never gets cleared, a door that doesn’t seal, damaged cladding, warm roof voids, or undisturbed stacks that become nesting cover. The aim of this category is simple—help you spot early signs, prioritise fixes, and reduce the chances pests keep returning.

What you’ll find in Farm Pest Control

  • Farm pest risk audits for barns, yards, feed stores and grain sheds
  • Rats and mice: early signs, hotspots, and prevention steps
  • Pest birds: roost points, fouling risk, access routes and exclusion basics
  • Proofing and hygiene that reduces repeat pressure (doors, vents, service gaps, storage)
  • Seasonal pressure (harvest, feed deliveries, winter warmth, waste areas)

If you’re short on time, start here

Do a 30-minute walkthrough of your feed store and a quick perimeter check. Look for fresh droppings, rub marks, gnawing, spill trails, gaps under doors and burrows near slab edges. Then fix the easiest access points first—closing entry routes is what stops the “clear them out, they come back” cycle.

Need help on-site?

If you’re seeing fresh activity daily, burrows near buildings, bird fouling above feed or repeated signs after tidy-ups, you’ll usually need a structured approach: survey-led control, proofing priorities and follow-ups.
