Agricultural property rodent control on the South Plains.

Last reviewed: January 2026

Farm and ranch work in West Texas follows the harvest calendar. Cotton stripper pass, sorghum cut, sunflower combine, each one displaces field mice in waves, and the wave that hits the equipment shed in late October is the one that finds its way into the feed barn by Thanksgiving. Our agricultural programs are timed to the crop calendar your operation actually runs: pre-harvest perimeter bait setup, harvest-season monitoring, and post-harvest equipment-shed sealing.

Licensed Insured Locally Owned Open 24/7

Agricultural property rodent control is a rodent management program designed for farms, ranches, grain storage facilities, cotton gins, and feed operations on the South Plains: properties where grain, feed, and open-structure shelter create the most favorable rodent conditions in the region. In the Lubbock area, agricultural accounts extend from the city edge into Hockley, Lynn, Crosby, Floyd, and Garza counties.

Why ag properties are the highest-pressure rodent environments on the South Plains.

Lubbock is not Dallas. The pressure cycle is different.

Agricultural properties have everything rodents need: abundant food (grain, cottonseed, livestock feed), water (irrigation lines, stock tanks, condensation from equipment), and shelter (stored equipment, hay bales, wood-frame outbuildings with gaps at every board). Norway rats thrive at agricultural sites: they burrow under concrete slabs, along foundation walls of grain bins, and in the burrow systems that develop under feed storage. The rodent pressure at ag properties also creates secondary risks: grain contamination and spoilage, structural damage to outbuildings, chewed electrical wiring on equipment, and livestock disease transmission risk.

What agricultural rodent control includes.

Four steps. One outcome.

Property assessment: grain storage layout, feed operation, equipment storage, and outbuilding inventory reviewed before any treatment is proposed.
Exterior bait station network: commercial-grade tamper-resistant stations at grain bin perimeters, along outbuilding foundations, and near equipment storage. Station density matched to pressure level.
Burrow treatment: active Norway rat burrow systems treated and collapsed near grain storage and foundation perimeters.
Interior outbuilding trapping: snap traps deployed inside equipment sheds, hay storage, and other outbuildings on confirmed runways.
Exclusion recommendations: structural gaps in outbuildings flagged; recommendations provided for which gaps to prioritize for sealing.
Scheduled service rotation: monthly or bi-weekly station service, burrow check, and trap rotation.

Frequently asked questions.

Are Norway rats the main rodent problem on South Plains farms?

Norway rats are the dominant pressure at grain storage, feed operations, and livestock facilities. House mice are secondary pressure in outbuildings and equipment storage. Both are common, and effective agricultural programs address both species.

How do bait stations work near livestock and grain?

We use tamper-resistant stations that are inaccessible to livestock and pets. Station placement avoids active livestock areas and maintains appropriate distance from grain storage to prevent contamination. We walk through placement locations with you before installation.

Can you treat inside grain bins or storage buildings?

We treat the perimeters and access points of grain storage structures. Interior grain bin treatment typically requires the bin to be empty and cleaned, which we coordinate with your operation schedule. Interior outbuilding trapping is standard.

What about irrigation infrastructure and stock tanks?

Norway rats frequently burrow near irrigation lines and stock tanks where soil is reliably moist. We include these locations in the initial assessment and bait station placement where appropriate.

Do you serve farms outside Lubbock County?

Yes: Hockley, Lynn, Crosby, Floyd, Garza, Lamb, and Hale counties are all within our agricultural service area. Distance pricing may apply for properties more than 45 minutes from Lubbock.

How often do agricultural properties need service?

High-pressure grain storage and active feed operations typically need monthly or bi-weekly service. Lower-pressure properties with occasional seasonal activity may run quarterly. We assess activity level after the first 60 days and recommend a rotation frequency.

Do you provide service records for crop insurance or lease documentation?

Yes. Written service reports are generated after every visit and maintained for your records. These can be formatted for crop insurance documentation or agricultural lease compliance requirements.
