Stored-product pests such as weevils, flour beetles and grain moths infest wheat, rice, flour, dates, feed and packaged food. They cause direct losses and breach food-safety rules when not controlled early.
Signs of an infestation
Tiny holes in grain or packaging
Small insects or larvae inside flour and rice
Clumped food and an unusual smell
Webbing or cocoons in storeroom corners and shelves
Why it matters
They reduce product quality, contaminate stock, cause financial loss and customer complaints, and can put a facility at risk during health inspections.
How Hero approaches control
We inspect batches, shelves and unloading points, then set a control program that includes targeted treatment and fumigation when needed under safety requirements, plus storage and rotation advice.
Prevention tips
Rotate stock and use the oldest first
Clear grain residue from shelves and corners
Keep grain in sealed containers
Inspect new shipments before storing them
Frequently asked questions
Is fumigation always necessary?
Not always. We decide based on the pest, the size of the infestation and the stock, and fumigate under safety requirements when needed.
Can you provide a recurring program for warehouses and factories?
Yes, recurring visits can be planned around the facility's activity and size after an inspection.
