Warehouses lose stock in two ways: rodents gnawing packaging and cabling, and stored product insects quietly destroying grain, pulses, flour and packaged food from inside the sack. Both problems scale with floor area and with how long stock sits.

RPS Pest Control runs mapped rodent programmes and stored-product treatments for warehouses, godowns, cold storage units and distribution centres across Bhiwandi, Kalyan, Panvel, Taloja, Vasai and the wider Mumbai region.

Pests that matter most in a warehouse

Rats and mice

The primary threat — packaging damage, cable gnawing and contamination. Handled with a mapped external and internal station programme.

Stored product insects

Weevils, flour beetles and moths in grain, pulses and packaged food; treated by fumigation or space treatment of the stack.

Cockroaches

Loading bays, canteens and drainage; gel baiting and crack-and-crevice work.

Birds

Roosting in high steel and skylights; managed with netting and spikes rather than harm.

Termites

Wooden pallets, racking supports and stored paper; treated with anti-termite application.

How we treat a warehouse

  1. Perimeter and internal survey — loading bays, plinth line, drainage, racking, dead stock and the canteen.
  2. Mapped rodent baiting: tamper-resistant stations along the external perimeter, monitored traps inside the storage area.
  3. Stored product insect control by fumigation of stacks or space treatment, depending on commodity and turnaround.
  4. Anti-termite treatment where pallets, racking supports or paper stock are at risk.
  5. Bird proofing with netting and spikes at roosting points.
  6. Proofing report — door gaps, shutter brushes, drain grilles and plinth sealing.

Mapped stations and stock records

Every warehouse gets a numbered bait station layout drawn against your floor plan, checked and recorded at each visit so consumption trends are visible over time. Fumigation jobs carry a separate certificate stating the commodity, the stack treated, exposure time and clearance, which is what buyers, insurers and third-party auditors ask to see.

Service frequency and contracts

Warehouses are usually contracted monthly with fortnightly rodent station checks; high-value food and pharma stock is often serviced weekly for rodent monitoring. Fumigation is scheduled per consignment or per storage cycle. Quotes are per square foot after a free survey, with anti-termite treatment carrying a warranty of up to 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking pest control service.

How do you control rodents in a large godown?
With a mapped programme: tamper-resistant bait stations at fixed intervals along the external perimeter, monitored traps inside the storage area, and numbered stations recorded at each visit so consumption trends show where activity is rising. Proofing of shutters, drains and plinth gaps runs alongside.
Do you carry out fumigation for stored grain and packaged food?
Yes. Stacks are fumigated or space-treated depending on commodity and turnaround, and each job carries a certificate stating the commodity, exposure time and clearance for your buyers and auditors.
How long must the warehouse stay closed for fumigation?
Exposure time depends on the commodity and stack size, typically 24–72 hours followed by ventilation before clearance is issued. We plan the window around your dispatch schedule.
How much does warehouse pest control cost?
Warehouses are quoted per square foot after a free survey, since price depends on covered area, stock type, number of shutters and the treatment mix. Fumigation is quoted per consignment. Call +91-9920059059.
Can you protect wooden pallets and racking from termites?
Yes. Anti-termite treatment is applied to soil, plinth and affected timber, and carries a warranty of up to 5 years.
Do you service warehouses outside Mumbai city?
Yes. We cover the warehousing belts at Bhiwandi, Kalyan, Panvel, Taloja, Vasai and Palghar along with the rest of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
