Pest Control: Keep rodents and insects out of your barn and home

Pest Control: For farm, stable, home and garden

Rats in the feed store, flies in the stable, mites in the hen house or slugs in the vegetable patch: anyone who keeps animals or tends a garden knows these unwelcome guests. Well planned pest control protects your stores, the health of your animals and your buildings. With us you get traps, baits, repellents and poison-free solutions for farmyard, stable, home and garden.

Prevent first, then act with purpose

Good control starts with tidiness. Feed in sealed containers, clean corners and blocked gaps take away what rodents need to settle in. If rats or mice still turn up, traps and bait stations placed along their runs will help. Against stable flies, sticky fly catchers and electric traps do the job. With all biocides the same rule applies: baits belong in closed bait stations, out of reach of children, pets and livestock. Read the instructions for use before you start and follow the information on the pack. Depending on the country and product, different rules apply to buying and using them.

Solutions for every location

In the garden, voles and slugs cause trouble. Vole traps protect fruit trees from root damage, and an electric slug fence keeps beds and raised beds clear without any slug pellets. Poultry keepers often battle poultry red mite, where mite powder, sprays and diatomaceous earth help. Out in the paddock, horsefly traps and lure traps catch pests before they bother horses and cattle. If a marten is roaming the loft or the hen house, live traps and deterrent sprays come into play. Martens are protected in many places, so check with your local authority or a gamekeeper before trapping.

Frequently asked questions

What can I do myself before calling in a pest controller?
For a light infestation, traps, bait stations or sticky catchers are often enough. The key is to find the cause: open feed sacks, waste or cracks in walls. If the problem is heavy or keeps coming back in large livestock buildings, a professional pest controller is worth the money.

Can pest control work without poison?
For many pests, yes. Snap traps and live traps catch rodents, sticky catchers and horsefly traps take flying insects out of the air, diatomaceous earth dries out mites and a slug fence keeps slugs and snails away.

When in the year should I start pest control?
Against flies and horseflies it is best to start in early spring, before the first generation multiplies. Rats and mice move into buildings in autumn, so that is a good time for a round of checks with traps and bait stations.
