Pest control and fumigation in Anuradhapura

Distances change how we schedule

The stored product work in this district is spread across many smaller stores rather than concentrated in a few sites, and the distances between them are real. Jobs are grouped so a technician covers several in a trip, which is what keeps the price reasonable for a single stack of pulses.

The practical consequence for you is that a specific date matters less than telling us early. A store that can wait a week is usually cheaper to treat than one that cannot.

Grain, pulses and dried commodities

Paddy, maize, dhal and dried commodities all carry the same class of insect, and all of them breed inside the goods rather than on the surface. Fumigation reaches them; a surface treatment protects the outside of a sack and very little else.

Older buildings and timber

Away from the stores, the district has a lot of timber framed and older building stock where termite and borer damage is the more common call. That work is assessed on the building rather than quoted from a description, because what is holding the roof up is not a thing to guess at.
