Pest Control for Stables
Helping You Protect Your Horses, Feed Supplies, and Facilities
The Greater Vancouver area — particularly Langley, Surrey, and surrounding regions — is home to a thriving equestrian community. With so many private and commercial stables in the region, pest management is an essential part of maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment for horses and stable staff.
At 1st Pest Control, we provide specialized pest control services for stables and equestrian facilities. Whether you run a riding school, private barn, or full-scale boarding operation, we understand the unique challenges you face — especially when it comes to rodents attracted to horse feed and bedding.
Why Pest Control Matters for Stables
Stables provide the perfect environment for pests: shelter, warmth, and a steady food source. Common pest problems in stables include:
-
Rodents (Rats & Mice)
Attracted to grain and hay, they chew through feed bags, contaminate storage areas, and pose disease risks to both animals and humans.
-
Flies and Biting Insects
Thrive in warm, moist environments and can stress horses, causing agitation and skin infections.
-
Birds
Nest in rafters and beams, leaving droppings and damaging property.
-
Ants and Crawling Insects
Infest feed areas or bedding, especially during warmer months.
Our Stable Pest Control Services
We offer tailored pest control solutions designed for animal-friendly environments. Our technicians understand the sensitivity required when treating spaces that house horses and livestock. Our services include:
-
Rodent Exclusion and Control
We use tamper-proof bait stations, and in severe cases of rodent infestations, we recommend Ekomille. A non-toxic, humane, and safe rodent trapping system.
-
Fly Management System
Flies are a nuisance all year round but especially during warm months. We start by identifying the breeding sites and providing non-toxic fly control systems.
-
Discreet Service
Discreet inspections and ongoing maintenance to keep your facility pest-free year-round.
