Seed sold to growers is often stored on farms in barns and outbuildings that experience heavy infestations of rodents and stored product insects, especially Indian meal moths. When seed is returned to the warehouse, those pests return with it. Wheat seed sees the highest pressure, but corn, soybean, rice, and other seed are also vulnerable.

Structural Fumigation to Reset Pest Pressure After Seed Returns

FSS specializes in structural fumigation after seed returns, a rapid, comprehensive reset that brings rodent and insect pressure back to zero when conventional controls are no longer sufficient. Organic carbon dioxide (CO2) fumigation is available as a non-residual option for select applications.

Integrated Pest Management for Long-Term Seed Protection

• Stored product insect and rodent monitoring programs
• Facility-wide pheromone monitoring for Indian meal moths
• Mating disruption to suppress moth populations without shutdowns
• Insecticide fogging for rapid moth knockdown
• Trailer and container fumigation to treat specific seed lots
• Grain protectants for long-term residual protection

Rodent, Bird & Structural Exclusion Services

Rodent-proofing services include door sealing, crack and crevice exclusion, and structural repairs to reduce entry points, plus bird exclusion for loading areas, rafters, and dock zones to keep facilities cleaner and more controlled.

Built for Seed Industry QA & Compliance Teams

Clear documentation, population trend data, and corrective-action support from teams experienced in agricultural storage and seed handling, from emergency response after seed returns to long-term preventive programs.
