Agricultural Pest Control:
Protecting Your Harvest & Equipment

Farms are particularly susceptible to pest issues, which can lead to significant financial losses from contaminated crops, damaged stored grain, and compromised machinery. Southwest Pest has a huge focus on agriculture, understanding the unique challenges faced by farmers in Central and Southwest MN, and Northern Iowa.

The Dangers of Rodents to Farm Equipment:

Mice and rats, in particular, are notorious for seeking shelter and warmth inside farm machinery like tractors, combines, and other agricultural equipment. Their constant need to gnaw means they often chew through critical components, especially electrical wires and insulation. This can lead to:
Costly Breakdowns:
Damaged wiring causes electrical shorts, malfunctions, and unexpected equipment failures, leading to expensive repairs and lost time during crucial planting or harvesting seasons.
Operational Delays:
When a key piece of machinery is out of action, it can bring your entire operation to a halt.
Fire Hazards:
Chewed wires can overheat, spark, and potentially cause fires, jeopardizing valuable assets and lives.
We help protect your significant investment in farm equipment and property from these destructive pests.

Grain Elevators & Grain Bins:

Stored grains are highly vulnerable to infestations from beetles, weevils, moths, flies, and rodents, leading to spoilage and significant financial loss. We offer specialized pest control for:

Grain Elevators:
