Stored Product Pest Control & Fumigation Services in Pennsylvania

Protecting Pennsylvania’s Grain, Feed & Commodity Industries

When stored product pests threaten your inventory, every hour counts. Whether you’re managing a grain elevator in Lancaster County, a feed mill in York, a food processing facility in the Lehigh Valley, or a warehouse along the I-78 corridor, FSS delivers the specialized stored-product pest management Pennsylvania’s agricultural and commercial operations depend on — and that is the only thing we do.

The Stored Product Pests That Threaten Pennsylvania Facilities

Pennsylvania’s agricultural economy produces millions of bushels of corn, wheat, soybeans, and other commodities each year — and where there is stored grain and product, there are pests. Common stored product pests threatening Pennsylvania grain elevators, feed mills, food plants, and warehouses include:

• Grain weevils (Sitophilus spp.) — bore into kernels, destroying grain quality and market value
• Indianmeal moth — a leading pest of stored grain, flour, and processed food products
• Sawtoothed grain beetle — infests everything from cereals to dried fruit
• Lesser grain borer — particularly destructive in warm storage conditions
• Khapra beetle — a federally regulated pest requiring immediate action
• Flat & rusty grain beetles — thrive in Pennsylvania’s humid summers
• Flour beetles (Tribolium spp.) — common in mills, bakeries, and food processing facilities

Left unchecked, these pests contaminate product, trigger regulatory violations, and cause significant financial losses. Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.

Compliance & Audit Readiness in Pennsylvania

Pesticide and fumigant applicators in Pennsylvania are certified through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture under the state’s pesticide program. 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).
