Pest control that works for farms
Farms and rural businesses face pest pressures all year – rats and mice in feed and grain stores, pigeons in barns, and moles damaging grazing and silage fields. We provide practical pest control that fits around the working farm, across Fife and the countryside around Edinburgh.
What we cover
- Rats and mice – in grain stores, feed rooms, livestock buildings and farmhouses
- Birds – pigeons in barns and sheds, with bird netting and proofing
- Moles – in grazing land and silage fields (see mole control)
Responsible rodent control
We follow the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of best practice. That means a thorough survey, removing food and harbourage, targeted baiting only where it’s genuinely needed, regular monitoring, and protecting non-target wildlife such as barn owls, birds of prey, pets and working dogs.
Farm assurance and records
Many farm assurance schemes expect a documented rodent control plan. We can provide site plans, visit records, written reports and pest trend analysis to support your paperwork.
Regular visits or one-off help
Choose a regular monitoring contract, or call us when you have a specific problem. We’ll fit visits around the farming calendar.
Farm & Agricultural Pest Control: frequently asked questions
Do you follow CRRU guidelines?
Yes. We follow the CRRU code of best practice on every farm job.
Can you help with farm assurance paperwork?
Yes – we provide site plans, visit records, reports and trend analysis to support your records.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
Yes – farms, estates and rural businesses right across Fife, plus the countryside around Edinburgh.
Can molehills in silage make cows ill?
Yes. Soil from molehills often gets picked up when grass is cut for silage, and that soil can carry Listeria bacteria. This can cause listeriosis (sometimes called “silage disease” or circling disease) in cattle and sheep, which can lead to illness, abortion and even death. Soil also spoils how silage ferments, making it poorer feed. Clearing moles from grazing and silage fields before cutting helps protect your livestock.
