Tailored and Targeted Protection

Pre-Harvest Treatment

Our professional pre-harvest spraying and fumigation services are designed to break the infestation cycle before it begins.

Save Time and Trouble Later. Preventative treatment is faster, easier, and cheaper than dealing with an infestation after harvest.
Better Long-Term Storage Outcomes. Cleaner storage now means fewer issues over winter and more control heading into next season.
Avoid Downgrades and Rejections. Infestation can cause your grain to be rejected or downgraded — costing you money and reputation.

Our team can also conduct pre-harvest fumigation in empty grain stores, silos, bins, or elevators. This ensures the storage environment starts clean by removing any pests carried over from last year.

Why Pre-Harvest Matters

Before the first load of grain hits the store, it’s essential to prepare your facility. Pests from previous seasons, hiding in cracks and roof spaces, are ready to multiply — fast.

Insects like grain weevils, lesser grain borers, and rust-red grain beetles don’t start in the field. They’re already in your store, waiting for ideal conditions.

Did You Know?

Two beetles can multiply into 90 million in just one year.
One infestation can destroy 50 tonnes of grain.
Pest activity raises temperature and moisture, leading to fungal growth and secondary infestations.

With a milder winter and warmer spring this year, the risk is higher than usual. A small effort now can prevent costly downgrades, rejections, and returns later.

Pre Harvest Treatment Preparation and Process

A clean, pest-free grain store starts with smart preparation. We recommend that before the treatment you inspect and clean cracks and roof voids, sealing gaps and holes to prevent pest ingress. It is also important that there is a thorough cleaning of all surfaces, from top to bottom removing all old grain and dust, especially from under floors or around drying systems. This is a painstaking but important process, which we are happy to help with as part of your pre-harvest preparation.

Once the store is cleaned and prepped we can begin the treatment application:

High-pressure spray application reaches all areas, including roof spaces that knapsack sprayers can’t.
We use K-Obiol® EC25, a proven insecticide that protects against most stored product pests for up to 2 months.
Best applied 4–6 weeks before harvest to kill all insect life stages before new grain arrives.

Need help with store prep? We offer cleaning programmes and expert advice with fumigation as a complete service as well as ongoing and follow up support to deal with any future issues which may arise.
