Integrated Pest Management for Flour Mills
Continuous production, warm processing environments, and large volumes of grain and flour create constant pest pressure from stored product insects, rodents, and birds. FSS delivers monitoring-based IPM focused on prevention, early detection, and corrective action, with clear documentation that keeps mills inspection-ready and operational.
Stored Product Insect & Grain Handling Expertise
FSS specializes in identifying and managing flour beetles, warehouse beetles, Indian meal moths, and other grain- and flour-associated insects.
- Species-level identification
- Root-cause analysis tied to grain handling and sanitation
- Targeted control for raw grain, finished flour, and packaging areas
Grain Protection for Incoming Grain
Many mills manage on-site grain storage, making incoming-grain protection critical. Grain protectants such as Diacon® IGR provide cost-effective, long-term control by preventing immature insects from developing, with EPA tolerance exemption, CODEX clearance, heat stability, and no holding period before processing. FSS helps select products, set up dry or liquid injection application systems, calibrate, and supply ongoing product, plus DIY options through our store.
