Agricultural pest control

Professional pest control for farms, smallholdings and rural businesses across North Cornwall and Devon. Rodent control in feed stores and grain barns, mole management on grazing land, and stored-product insect protection. Farming brings its own pest pressures. Feed stores and grain stores attract rats and mice, moles work their way across grazing land and silage ground, and stored-product insects threaten grain, feed and produce. Each needs a different approach, and treating them properly keeps your farm inspection-ready and your livestock safe. We are SW Pest Management, based in North Cornwall and covering Bude, Launceston, Holsworthy and the surrounding area. We understand agricultural environments, use approved products and methods in line with current legislation, and put the safety of your livestock, family and the environment first. All work is fully insured, and every job starts with a free quote. Call 07552372561 or request a quote.

Pest control for farms and smallholdings

Pest control for farms and smallholdings

Rodent control in feed stores and grain stores. Rats and mice in farm buildings are more than a nuisance. They contaminate feed, gnaw structural materials and cables, and reproduce quickly. We survey the buildings, identify entry points, treat the active problem and advise on proofing to keep them out long term.

Mole control on grazing land and silage ground. Moles on farmland cause real costs. Fresh soil contaminates silage and hay at cutting time, and uneven ground is a hazard for livestock. We read mole activity properly and use proven trapping methods to clear the problem.

Stored-product insect protection. Beetles, moths and weevils in grain stores, feed bins and store rooms can ruin produce and create compliance issues. We identify the species, treat the infestation and advise on prevention and monitoring.

Wasp nest removal. Nests in barn lofts, wall cavities, rooflines and outbuildings are common on farms. We locate and treat nests safely, with prompt service during the active season.

Why professional farm pest control matters

Why professional farm pest control matters

Pests on a farm are not just a nuisance — they carry real costs and risks:

  • Feed contamination. Rats, mice and stored-product insects contaminate feed and grain, wasting money and creating health risks for livestock.
  • Structural damage. Rodents gnaw through cables, insulation, timber and pipework. In a farm building, this can mean costly repairs and fire risk.
  • Compliance risk. Red Tractor, farm assurance and environmental health inspections all expect active pest management. A gap in your pest control can affect your certification.
  • Silage and crop loss. Moles on grazing land and silage ground contaminate grass at cutting time, and stored-product insects can ruin a whole grain store.
  • Biosecurity. Pests carry diseases that can affect livestock. Professional treatment reduces this risk and keeps your holding healthy.

We provide practical, inspection-ready pest management tailored to agricultural environments, using approved products and methods in line with current legislation.
