Stored Product Pest Control & Fumigation Services in New York
Protecting New York’s Grain, Food & Commodity Industries
When stored product pests threaten your inventory, every hour counts. From the Finger Lakes and western New York to food plants and warehouses across the state, FSS delivers the specialized stored-product pest management New York’s grain, food, and commodity operations depend on — and that is the only thing we do. New York’s diverse agriculture — dairy, grains, apples, grapes, and field crops — moves product through mills, food processing facilities, elevators, and distribution centers statewide.
FSS New York Locations
FSS has the following service locations in New York.
45+ years of stored-product expertise. Founded in 1981, FSS specializes in stored-product protection, not general pest control. We hold one of the highest concentrations of certified entomologists in the industry — Board Certified Entomologists (BCE), Associate Certified Entomologists (ACE), a Ph.D. entomologist, research scientists, and OSHA-authorized trainers — and our team helped pioneer alternatives to methyl bromide, work recognized with the UN Environment Programme Innovator Award and three EPA Stratospheric Ozone Protection Awards.
The Stored Product Pests That Threaten New York Facilities
Across food plants, mills, elevators, and warehouses, the same stored-product complex drives the risk. Key pests include:
- Granary & rice weevils (Sitophilus spp.) — internal feeders that destroy grain quality and value
- Indianmeal moth — a leading pest of stored grain, flour, and processed food
- Sawtoothed grain beetle — infests cereals, dried fruit, and processed product
- Lesser grain borer — a destructive internal feeder in stored grain
- Flour beetles (Tribolium spp.) — common in mills, bakeries, and food processing
- Warehouse & cigarette beetles — pests of packaged and processed goods in distribution
Monitoring and IPM come first; fumigation resets an entrenched population.
IPM & Fumigation Services for New York Operations
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) — documented, monitoring-based programs with remote rodent and insect monitoring, pheromone trapping, sanitation and exclusion guidance, and root-cause analysis that keep facilities inspection-ready.
- Structural fumigation — ProFume® (sulfuryl fluoride) for flour mills, food and pet food plants, feed mills, and warehouses.
- Grain fumigation — commercial and terminal-elevator phosphine fumigation with recirculation, verified with gas-concentration monitoring across the grain mass.
All services are backed by gas monitoring and equipment calibration, so results are verified, not assumed.
Compliance & Audit Readiness in New York
Pesticide and fumigant applicators in New York are certified through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), with commodity and food oversight by the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets. Fumigants are restricted-use products, and EPA rules for aluminum and magnesium phosphide require a written Fumigation Management Plan (FMP) before every application, a certified applicator present during application and opening, and the two-person safety rule. FSS handles the FMP, applicator presence, and recordkeeping as standard practice — with documentation built to support FDA FSMA preventive controls and GFSI audits (SQF, BRC).
