Why Grain Fumigation Is Essential
Stored grain is vulnerable to a wide range of pests — and once an infestation starts, it can spread quickly through your inventory. Even in clean, well-maintained storage facilities, pests can find their way into grain bins, flat storage, and containers.
Grain Fumigation is one of the most effective ways to protect your grain at every stage. It penetrates deep into the grain mass, reaching pests hidden inside kernels and crevices, and eliminates them at all life stages — from eggs to adults.
Beyond pest control, proper fumigation also helps you meet strict safety, quality, and regulatory standards, giving you peace of mind and protecting your bottom line.
Common Pests That Threaten Stored Grain
Without proper protection, insects and pests can quietly ruin large amounts of stored grain before you even notice a problem. Some of the most common threats to stored grain include:
Weevils (rice, maize, and granary weevils): These pests bore into kernels, making the grain unsellable.
Grain borers: Known for rapid reproduction and causing serious internal grain damage.
Moths (Indian meal moths, angoumois grain moths): Their larvae feed on grain and leave behind webbing that contaminates storage.
Beetles (sawtoothed grain beetles, red flour beetles): Small but destructive, beetles can spread quickly through stored products.
Mites and other stored product insects: Hard to detect until infestations are advanced, causing significant spoilage.
Without intervention, pests can multiply fast, leading to contamination, financial losses, and quality control issues. The good news? Professional Grain Fumigation targets pests at every stage of life — from eggs to larvae to adults — providing full protection for your stored inventory.

Signs It's Time to Schedule Grain Fumigation
Insect problems aren’t always obvious right away. If you know what to look for, you can catch issues early — before they spread and cause costly damage. Here are a few signs that it might be time to schedule professional Grain Fumigation:
- Insect sightings in or around your grain bins, flat storage, or containers
- Damaged kernels or signs of webbing inside the stored grain
- Off odors that suggest spoilage or contamination
- A history of infestations in your storage facilities
