Bugs in grain

[Dealey]

I work for a grain fumigation business and we have seen the amount of fumigations we have done increase MASSIVELY this year.

It's difficult to tell if it is because there are loads of bugs in 2023 harvest grain or if we are just getting more well known.

So, is everyone seeing more rejections for bugs this year?

Not been rejected yet but I had a 40 tonne bin that got really hot and was crawling with insects. First time I have had any trouble with bugs.

I watch the ‘bug’ posts with interest.
There’s been an increase in both cockroach and bed-boogs (as the Romanian’s call them.
I’m handing out 200gramme DE powder dispensers at the moment. More than I have ever done so in the last three years!

How do you buy it. I sometimes manage to find 20kg sacks here but more often just 1kg boxes.
Although for grain I have moved to K-oboil

I could buy in bulk but I buy in smaller quantities simply because I can then ensure the tenant does a DIY and I don’t have to come in with the nukes!
Plus I get the ‘pouffer’ so they can help themselves.
I have an account with Killgerm.

The ‘nukes’ are Biopren, K-Otherine and Microtech. Although I try not to have to resort to these unless….
