Agricultural Pest Control

Virginia’s beautiful countryside is dotted with a lot of farmland. Overhead views of the open spaces of agriculture show open lands or vast fields of crops waving in the soft breeze. People driving through the countryside enjoy the natural beauty but do not realize the amount of thought and work that goes into farming. One topic of great concern to American farmers is agricultural pest control. They have to worry about all kinds of pests that infest their crops. Common people know only about ants, termites, ticks, spiders, and the other common pests that they see in their homes. Farmers, on the other hand, have to worry about any possible threat. Mice, snakes, and insects can be very damaging indeed.

IMPORTANCE OF PEST CONTROL FOR FARMS

Pest control plays a very, very important role in any farming facility. Fields and workplaces for post-harvest activities infested with pests make it quite unsafe for employees. Pests are responsible for bringing down standards, as well as the quality of produce. The absence of agricultural pest control practices invites serious problems like:

• Loss of revenue
• Losing contracts due to termination
• Pests delay final production times to miss deadlines or leading to crop damage
• Customers complain about poor quality and lose trust in your business/products
• Finally, ignoring the efficiency of any pest control method may lead to failure due to audit non-compliance

These are by no means an exhaustive list of consequences. Addressing the problems of pests in your farming facility is the top priority.
