Pest control

Effective pest control for hygienically safe businesses

Consistent pest control is an essential part of a comprehensive hygiene strategy. Rodents, insects and other pests not only pose a hygiene risk, but can also cause significant damage to products, equipment and building structures. Furthermore, they jeopardise compliance with legal requirements and food safety.

We support agricultural businesses with effective and practical solutions for pest control and prevention. Our products are designed to contain pest infestations at an early stage and control them long-term without unnecessarily disrupting day-to-day operations. Through targeted measures, infection risks can be reduced, hygiene standards maintained and damage reliably prevented.

Our focus is on responsible application that combines effectiveness, safety and sustainability. In this way, our solutions make a significant contribution to ensuring hygienically impeccable conditions in the barn and adjacent areas on a long-term basis.

Why pest control?
Pests in the barn are more than just a hygiene nuisance. They cause stress, transmit pathogens, and jeopardise animal health, feed quality and farm hygiene.

Stress for the animals

Flies and other pests cause constant disturbance and impair the well-being of the animals.

Spreading of pathogens

Flies can spread harmful bacteria throughout the barn and accelerate infection chains.

Contamination of feed

Maggot and pest excrement contaminate animal feed and significantly increase microbial load.

Rats and mice

Rodents carry pathogens, damage equipment and pose a serious health risk.

Disease entry into the barn

Pests can introduce viruses, bacteria and parasites directly into the herd.

Early action pays off

Timely and targeted pest control sustainably reduces risks and protects the operation.

Origin

Pests originate wherever moisture, organic material and quiet come together – often unnoticed in the barn environment.

This stage determines how high later pest pressure will be.

Pest pressure builds up
long before it is seen.

What happens in the background determines later infestation.

Did you know?
150–400
eggs per laying · every 3–4 days

A single fly lays 150 to 400 eggs per laying — and that every 3 to 4 days. A few flies can develop into a massive population within a very short time – noticeably impacting animal health, feed quality and barn hygiene. Acting early stops the development before it becomes a problem.

Hygiene management in the barn
Successful pest control is not about a single product, but the result of a well thought-out hygiene management approach. Insecticides play a key role – particularly when it comes to quickly and effectively reducing visible pest pressure in the barn.

1. Operational basics

Order, hygiene and clear procedures form the basis for any effective pest control.

  • Order, hygiene and lime application
  • Structural and organisational measures
These factors can be actively managed.

2. Critical hygiene zones

If the basics are neglected, areas develop that offer ideal conditions for flies and maggots.

  • Damp feed residues
  • Damp bedding
  • Proximity to manure and slurry areas
  • Unfavourable barn environment

3. Targeted reduction of pest pressure

The majority of the fly population initially develops unnoticed at the maggot stage.

  • Approx. 85 % of the population: maggots
  • Approx. 15 % of the population: flying insects
Insecticides are key to quickly relieving the barn.

Used correctly, they are a central part of professional hygiene management.

Our approach: deploy insecticides in a targeted way, implement hygiene consistently, and optimise the underlying conditions. This makes pest control effective, sustainable and economically sound.
Active ingredients
Different groups of active substances attack pests in different ways. The decisive factor is the targeted selection and proper application within a well thought-out hygiene management approach.

Pyrethrins

Effective contact insecticide
  • Permethrin, tetramethrin, pyrethrin
  • Opens sodium channels in nerve cells
  • Rapid disruption of the nervous system
Particularly suitable for the rapid reduction of visible pests.

Thiophosphoric esters

Systemic nerve damage
  • Azamethiphos
  • Inhibition of cholinesterase
  • Disruption of central nerve functions
Proven group of active substances under high pest pressure.

Terpenes

Repellent effect
  • Geraniol
  • Repellent effect via odour
  • Supporting role in the hygiene concept
Complementary approach to reducing pest pressure.

Chrysanthemum extract

Plant extract with a high content of natural pyrethrins
  • Highly effective contact insecticide
  • Rapid action on the nervous system
  • Effective against eggs and larvae
Natural alternative with a broad spectrum of efficacy.
Mice and rats – targeted and responsible control
Rats and mice pose a considerable risk to animal health, operational hygiene and feed safety. Effective control is therefore an indispensable part of professional hygiene management.

Mode of action of brodifacoum

Brodifacoum belongs to the group of anticoagulants and prevents the formation of vital clotting factors in the blood.

In the course of normal activity, wounds can no longer close – the animals die with a delay within a few days.

The delayed effect prevents bait shyness in intelligent rodents.

Why control matters

Rats and mice transmit numerous dangerous diseases.

  • Foot-and-mouth disease
  • Swine fever, rabies, hantavirus
  • Tuberculosis, fungal infections
  • Parasites such as worms, fleas and mites

In addition, they spoil animal feed microbiologically and in taste.

Bait placement

Baits should be placed deliberately at heavily frequented locations.

  • Choose areas accessible to rodents only
  • Use rat bait boxes for protection
  • Weekly inspection and refilling
Correct placement increases both safety and effectiveness.
Our commitment: effective rodent control with maximum responsibility. Targeted use, safe application and regular inspection reduce pest pressure sustainably.
