Stored Product Pest Control

Serving Sun Prairie, WI

Stored product pests (commonly called pantry pests) target dried food items including flour, cereals, grains, pasta, dried fruits, and powdered milk. For producers, handlers, and processors throughout Wisconsin, these insects pose a serious threat to product integrity and can jeopardize your facility’s compliance standing.

At Wil-Kil Pest Control, we understand that stored product pest infestations create unique challenges for commercial operations. That’s why we provide specialized monitoring and management services designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing integrated pest management (IPM) program.

Our Approach to Managing Stored Product Pests

We recognize that effective stored product pest control requires more than reactive treatments. Our team works with food-processing facilities, warehouses, and other commercial operations across Wisconsin to implement comprehensive monitoring and management strategies:

Thorough Inspection: We conduct detailed assessments to identify pest activity and locate the source of infestations within your facility.
Strategic Monitoring: The installation of pheromone lures and trapping devices has become the industry standard for detecting stored product pest activity. This monitoring adds a critical layer of protection and quality assurance to your IPM program.
Targeted Treatment: When pest activity requires intervention, we deploy appropriate solutions based on the specific insects present and the scope of the problem.
Ongoing Protection: Continuous monitoring helps us catch developing issues before they escalate into full-scale infestations.

Heat Treatment: An Effective Alternative for Stored Product Pests

With changes in building design, equipment technology, and the phase-out of Methyl Bromide, heat treatments have emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional fumigation methods.

Heat treatment has long been recognized as an effective strategy for eliminating stored product pests like Indian meal moths and other insect activity in food-processing environments. This approach involves raising your facility’s ambient temperature above 122° Fahrenheit and maintaining that level for 24-36 hours, effectively eliminating pests at all life stages without chemical residues.

Heat treatment often serves as an integral component of a comprehensive IPM program.
