Pest control for wineries & cellar doors
Winery pest control in the Barossa
Insect Invasion provides pest control for wineries, cellar doors and vineyard sheds across the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley and the Gawler area. That means rodent bait station programs around the winery, spider, fly and general pest treatments for the cellar door and staff areas, a written service report after each visit, and a pest management plan you can keep on file for audits and inspections.
We've worked around Barossa vineyards since 2009, and the pest pattern on a wine property is different from a house. Cool, quiet barrel halls and cellars suit spiders and rodents. Dry stores full of cartons, labels and closures are a feast for mice. Machinery sheds near the vines fill with mice as the paddocks dry off, and a busy cellar door through summer brings flies, ants and webs on every verandah post.
Where we focus on a wine property
- Barrel halls, cellars and tank rooms: rodents and webbing spiders in the cool, dark corners
- Dry goods and packaging stores: cartons, labels and closures that mice chew and nest in
- Machinery, tractor and vineyard sheds: mice and rats moving in from the vines and paddocks
- Cellar doors, tasting rooms and outdoor areas: spiders, ants and flies where your visitors are
- Staff kitchens, lunch rooms and toilets: cockroaches and ants
What you get
- Tamper-resistant rodent bait stations placed around the site and checked on each visit, with a monthly program if your site needs it
- A written service report after every visit, so you know what was found and what was done
- A pest management plan to keep on file for audits and inspections
- Spider, ant, fly and general pest treatments for the cellar door and staff areas
- Visits arranged around vintage, bottling and cellar door hours, 7 days, 8am to 5pm
Working around vintage and the cellar door
Nobody wants a pest treatment in the middle of crush or a busy Saturday at the cellar door. Tell Garry how your week runs and the visits are booked around it: before the cellar door opens, on a quiet weekday, or between bottling runs. Late summer into autumn is when rats and mice are most common in South Australia (SA Health), which lines up with vintage, so it's worth having stations in place before harvest rather than after.
