Red Tractor-Compliant Farm Pest Control in Merthyr Tydfil & Valleys
South Wales farms face unique challenges: damp pastures attracting moles, barns/feed stores drawing rats, and foxes preying on lambs/poultry. David delivers technical, poison-free farm pest control Merthyr Tydfil – fully aligned with Red Tractor standards for IPM (Integrated Pest Management), no secondary poisoning risks, and audit-ready records. Safe for livestock, workers, and wildlife – no rodenticides that could contaminate silage or harm birds of prey.
Mole Control for Pastures & Silage Fields
Moles create hills/ridges that spoil grazing and introduce soil into silage (Listeria risk). Our poison-free Duffus/pincer traps clear tunnels safely – Red Tractor compliant, no chemicals leaching into soil or affecting cattle/sheep in Vaynor/Bedlinog areas.
Rat Management in Barns & Feed Stores
Rats contaminate feed, spread leptospirosis, and cause structural damage in Dowlais/Treharris barns. We use humane trapping, proofing (steel mesh/valves), and site surveys – no baits risking secondary poisoning to farm cats or owls.
Fox & Rabbit Control for Livestock Protection
Foxes target lambs/poultry; rabbits damage young crops. Discreet exclusion, trapping, and fencing solutions – livestock-safe, compliant with welfare regs, protecting holdings in Aberfan/Troedyrhiw.
Common Farm Pests in Merthyr Tydfil & Why Poison-Free Matters
In the Valleys' hilly, damp terrain, moles thrive in pastures, rats infest grain/feed stores (attracting via spills), and foxes exploit lambing season. Traditional poisons risk residues in milk/meat, wildlife harm, and Red Tractor non-compliance (CRRU/IPM focus on non-chemical first). Our approach: site surveys, trapping/proofing, environmental management – zero secondary risks, audit-proof documentation.
