Commercial Pest Control in Marshalltown, IA

Agricultural Rodent Control 

Farming life is vital to our community, and rodent infestations can pose a significant threat to agribusiness. 

Here are several compelling reasons why rodent control is crucial for your farm: 

Damage to Crops

Rodents, such as mice and rats, can inflict substantial damage to crops, leading to significant economic losses for your farm. These pests often consume or damage grains, fruits, vegetables, and stored agricultural products. By gnawing on plant stems, roots, and fruits, rodents can reduce crop yields and compromise the quality of harvested produce. 

Infiltration of Feed Supplies

Rodent infestations can result in the contamination of feed supplies, including grains, silage, and stored animal feeds. Not only do rodents consume and spoil these essential resources, but their presence can also introduce disease-causing pathogens and toxins into feedstocks, posing health risks to livestock. 

Harassment of Livestock

Livestock, such as poultry, swine, and cattle, are susceptible to stress, injuries, and disease due to harassment and predation by rodents. Rodents may disturb animals during feeding and resting periods, compete for food resources, and even cause physical harm through biting or nesting in animal housing structures. 

Spread of Disease

Rodents are vectors for various pathogens and parasites that can be transmitted to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. They can carry and spread diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and hantavirus, posing serious health risks to farm workers and the broader community.
