Agricultural Pest Control

Pest Control on Farms

Pest control on farms is unique because farms are unique. 

For us, unique pleasures of dealing with people on fair and equal terms are balanced by the unique challenges of trying to encourage inbound rodents to eat rat bait instead of the 500 tonnes of grain sitting in the grain store!

We love farmers; we love farming; most of us have links to the farming industry. We know farmers hate rats; we hate rats. Dealey Pest Control is a marvellous solution for the agricultural community because we 'just get it.' There's none of the sterile and unimaginative pest control tried by the larger companies; we are set up to be responsive and to tailor a proper baiting plan which is specific to the pest problems of an agricultural site.

All our methods are ecologically sound. We have been refining them over sixty-plus years, and we can accurately bait for rodents without putting other wildlife, products or livestock at risk. We follow the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use Code of practice (http://www.thinkwildlife.org/) to make sure we have the most environmentally secure systems of baiting in place. 

We happily guide you through the audit process for TASCC, ACCS, Red Tractor and the like. One less headache on a difficult audit day!

We all love the countryside.

Grain Store Treatments

Whether it's getting stores ready before harvest, debugging after an infestation or refilling during the storage season we're on hand to make sure your stores are insect-free.

A wide range of chemicals is at your fingertips to suit your different needs.

Crawling insect monitors are provided to new customers free of charge to make sure there is no residual insect activity.

A very cost-effective process.

Dealey uses the best equipment with the latest chemicals (DEFRA Approved, of course) to make sure that every inch of the store is treated.

The construction of the store is taken into account. If the store is made of wood, has grain handling machinery or has lots of nooks and crannies, Dealey will use the appropriate tools, like powered air to blast our insecticides into all of those out-of-sight and reach places including the ceiling, where the bugs are hiding.

Dealey will regularly revolve their active ingredients (change the chemicals we use from year to year) to make sure there are no cases of chemical resistance in the insects we are going after.

Dealey even install insect pheromone traps after we spray the store if you find any insects on these before harvest we will come back and treat again for free!

Dealey Fumigation is a very open company full of technical experts. If you want to know more about grain storage, contact us for the answers.

Grain Care

Look after the profits from your year's hard work with our Grain Care service.

The HGCA AHDB Good Storage Guide says you should check your grain weekly. Do you know what you are looking for? Do you want the reassurance of an expert to help you optimise your storage to make sure you go staying and enjoy being bug-free?

Our team have seen the results of misguided storage practices. The thing is, everyone thinks they are storing right until they get a problem, be it condensation, moisture absorption, insects or germination. We will help you swing the odds of storage so decisively in your favour that you'll be able to sleep better at night knowing your grain is protected and don't get an upsetting unplanned cost of a fumigation treatment or a rejection.

If you get a weighbridge claim, we will be there to fight your corner.

Admix Treatments

The solution for long term storage.

The longer you store grain, the higher the risk of infestation, it's as simple as that.

We have come up with several novel methods of admixture which can be used to mitigate the risk of long term storage.

With grain markets going up and down like…(insert smut here)… there is often the need to keep grain for longer than planned even hanging on to grain for two years.

Just recently we carried out a grain admixture treatment on wheat from three harvests ago.

Organic grain? No problem! We have insecticide admix solutions for that too.

Don't get rid of your grain at a bad price just because it's too risky to hang on to it. Give us a call instead. We'll provide you with long term storage options, free from the risk of infestation.
