Agricultural commodities are subject to damage from infestations during storage and transportation. When infestations occur, the response must be swift and decisive for you to maintain quality, reduce losses and meet regulatory standards and contractual obligations.
As a world leader in pest control and fumigation, we provide comprehensive fumigating and pest management solutions for global agricultural supply chains. We will help you to ensure quality and integrity during the storage and transportation of your commodities. Our industry experts will advise you on the best available techniques and procedures for ensuring compliance with health, safety, environmental and regulatory requirements. We can also help ensure your cargoes have the correct paperwork for target destinations.
Pest management
Infestations from pests or rodents can cause financial and reputational damage. Our pest management solutions ensure the quality and integrity of your goods are maintained through all stages of the supply chain.
Our comprehensive pest control solutions cover the processing, warehousing and logistical management of agricultural commodities. Our services meet all health and safety regulations while reducing the risk of contamination and infestation.
We offer bio-risk assessments and non-toxic pest control systems and can assist with documenting and auditing your pest management system and hygiene control. Our solutions establish working practices that, together with the use of advanced technologies, will ensure your supply chain complies with stringent local and international standards and legislation.
Gas-free detection
After fumigation, the working area, cargo, and room(s) air must be ventilated. Concentrations of fumigant gas in products or the facility above the maximum permissible values are hazardous to personnel, stevedores, crew members, warehouse workers, drivers, and other personnel.
We offer customizable solutions for decontamination and professional monitoring of residual fumigant gas concentrations after exposure to ensure safety and avoid delays. And our experts advise on best practices to ensure your procedures meet mandatory health, safety, environmental and regulatory requirements.
With a global network of experts operating in all major ports, we will ensure your cargoes are free of fumigants, safe to discharge, and in compliance with relevant legislation.
Disinfection
Controlling the transmission of viruses, fungi and bacteria is vital for protecting employees, customers and the public.
We ensure commodity and workplace safety with comprehensive disinfection solutions to remove pathogenic microorganisms. Our customizable protocols deliver effective disinfection at all stages of the agricultural commodity supply chain. We provide tried and tested services that cover spraying, fogging and physical solutions, ensuring your equipment and work environments remain safe. All services are delivered with the minimum of disruption to your business.
Our mobile teams can advise on relevant regulatory requirements to ensure your disinfection procedures always remain up to date with mandatory standards.
Treatments
To ensure your cargos, including their wooden packaging, meet regulatory standards, we offer a pre-shipment inspection and certification service, as well as fumigation or heat treatment, in compliance with regulation 15 of the International Standards of Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM15). We follow the relevant safety, quality and environmental guidelines and can issue the appropriate certificate in paper form, or as an e-certificate if required.
Developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), ISPM15 helps to prevent the international transportation of diseases and insects that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. Compliance proves your competence in public health and your interest in environmental concerns.
Removal and disposal
Agricultural commodities often require protection from pests during transit. This can mean the use of retrievable packages, sleeves and/or sachets that contain hazardous active chemicals such as phosphine. These toxic products should only be handled and disposed of by fully qualified operators to avoid any risk to the public.
We protect cargo handlers and the public with comprehensive, professional solutions for the removal and disposal of fumigation residues. All services are conducted in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and local legislation to ensure cargo handlers and the public are protected at all times.
