According to the USDA, 1.68 billion bushels of wheat were stored across the U.S. as of December 1, 2025—up 7% year over year, with off‑farm stocks increasing 11%.* More grain, held longer, means more value at risk. After a mild winter and with grain often sitting in storage for 2–4 years, insect populations can persist and spread—especially as temperatures rise.
Why Proactive Fumigation Matters
*Extended storage increases exposure to stored‑product pests like weevils, grain borers, and flour beetles
*Warmer weather accelerates insect activity
*One infestation can compromise grain quality and profitability
Why Ecolab
*Safety‑first practices, including cylinderized fumigants, zero confined‑space entry, and advanced monitoring where available
*Local service teams backed by national expertise
*The only national fumigation provider
Protect Your Stored Grain
At $6.00 per bushel, a single ground pile holding 1 million bushels represents $6 million in product. One infestation can quickly erode that investment.
Don’t let pests erode the value of your investment. Talk with an Ecolab fumigation expert to assess your storage conditions and plan proactive protection.
