Do’s and Don’ts of Pest Control in Warehouse or Silo

If you think you know the right way to get rid of pests, you may not yet fully understand what you are doing. Here, we will help remind you what to do and what not to eliminate pests effectively.

Pests are such a pain. Farmers make pests their main enemy, both in the field and in the warehouse. In other words, the fight against pests will continue and farmers will not tolerate any pests, either in the egg or larval phase. However, the farmers do not know how to deal with pests properly. Sometimes they make small mistakes that make pest control ineffective. If you think you know the right way to get rid of pests, you may not yet fully understand what you are doing. Here, we will help remind you what to do and what not to eliminate pests effectively.

Do’s

  • Prevention Stage

Preventing is way better than curing. Hence you should prepare everything before the commodities stored in the silo as prevention step. You can do it by removing the remnants of the previous harvest. Examine the area to make sure there place is clean.

There are plenty pesticide brands, which sometimes confuse farmers because they have too many options. Find only high-quality products that eliminate pests effectively. You can try Fumilikuid 2 GA for quick and effective fumigation, SILOGUD for spraying or fogging, or Fumiphos for conventional phosphine fumigation. Those brands are recommended by the expert.

  • Dispose Leftover Pesticides Properly

This is the crucial part where the farmers, sometimes, forgot. Make sure you get rid the excessive pesticides by providing ventilation to ensure aeration process works. Read the label of the product you use to make sure you do it properly.

Don’ts

  • Twice is Better? No!

That was a misleading assumption because twice isn’t always better, especially when it’s about pesticide. Too much pesticide can harm the environment and healthy. Read the label and follow the instruction and its dosage.

  • Don’t Mix the Pesticides with other Chemical

It’s not only poisonous, but also dangerous because some chemical shouldn’t be mixed each other. Fumilikuid 2 GA or Fumiphos, and SILOGUD don’t need any additional chemical. Those products are easy-to-use and effective to kill any pests. It’s not surprising people love it!

  • Don’t Do It in Open Space

Keep in mind that the gaseous state might affect your health or environment. Always fumigate the commodities in enclosed chambers. At least, use recommended fumigation (tarpaulin) sheet if you have to conduct the fumigation in open space to make sure the gas wouldn’t spread at random.

Using this do’s and don’ts information, we hope that you can control the pest effectively without causing damage to the surrounding.
