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.
