Pigs are vital to many farming operations, but their environments often attract pests like rodents and flies. These pests can spread disease, damage infrastructure, and significantly impact productivity. Calling all farmers, if you are facing a pest problem on your pig farm, then look no further than Lodi for the solution.
Rodents pose significant risks to pig farms, spreading diseases like leptospirosis and salmonellosis, contaminating feed, and causing costly damage to infrastructure by chewing wires and insulation. They can also attract predators, leading to more health issues. Swift action is crucial, and effective rodent control with quality rodenticides can protect your pigs and operations from these persistent threats.
Rodent Protection for Pig Farms
When it comes to rodent control, pig farmers face particular challenges of their own. Offering warmth sheltered environments and an abundance of feed, pig farms can be a hotspot for rodents. One singular rat means you can have multiple infestations, which can cause extensive damage, risk of disease to your pigs and not to mention a whole lot of hassle. Small but mighty, research has shown that these rodents can cause over £25 million in farm damage per year!
At Lodi UK we understand the importance of protecting you pigs and your pocket. As the No.1 supplier of professional use rodenticides, we are dedicated to help support British agriculture and UK Farmers with responsible, effective and trusted rodent control solutions.
