Pest control and fumigation in Polonnaruwa

Polonnaruwa is milling and paddy storage, and the work here is mostly stored product: beetles and weevils breeding inside bagged and bulk rice while the outside of the stack looks clean. We fumigate stores and stacks in the district, and we report on what the job showed about the intake, because a mill that treats the same store every quarter is usually being reinfested by its own deliveries.

Mill stores and the stack itself

The treatment here is almost always the stack rather than the building. A block of bagged or bulk rice is sheeted, sealed at every edge, treated, held for the exposure period and then ventilated before anyone handles the goods.

Sealing is the part of the job that decides whether the rest of it mattered. A sheet that lifts at one corner overnight loses concentration through that corner, and the rice underneath is untreated while looking exactly like rice that was treated.

Planned around intake and despatch

A working mill cannot stop for pest control, so the treatment is planned into the gaps in the intake and despatch cycle rather than dropped into the middle of it. That means we need your schedule before we can give you a useful date.

Rodents in mill buildings

Alongside the stored product work, mill buildings carry a rodent problem that needs its own programme: stations placed where the evidence is, mapped and numbered, with activity logged visit by visit so a trend is visible. It is quoted and reported separately from the fumigation, because running them as one line item is how mills end up treated repeatedly without improving.

  • Stack and whole store fumigation for paddy and milled rice

Questions

Questions we get asked in Polonnaruwa

The stack being treated cannot be touched for the exposure period, but the rest of the operation usually continues. We plan the job into the gaps in your intake and despatch cycle, so we need your schedule before we can give you a useful date.
Almost always because it is arriving with deliveries. We report what the job showed about the intake, because treating the same stack every few months costs more over a year than dealing with the source once.
