Pest Control

Equine yards create the perfect environment for pests. Feed stores, bedding, muck areas and warm stable buildings can quickly attract rodents and other unwanted visitors. Left unmanaged, these pests can contaminate feed, spread disease, damage buildings and create unnecessary risks for horses and people.

At Canter Construction, our pest control work is designed specifically for equine environments. We do not operate as a general pest control company — horse yards are the only environments we work in. This means every approach we take is carefully considered around horse safety, feed protection and the daily operation of a working yard.

Our focus is on responsible, controlled pest management that protects horses first. Treatments and prevention measures are selected and installed with a clear understanding of how curious horses can be, ensuring that safety is considered not only in the final result but also while work is being carried out on your yard.

Typical pest control work includes:

Rodent Control
Managing rats and mice around feed stores, stables and yard buildings using controlled systems designed to prevent access by horses and other animals.

Feed Room Protection
Identifying and securing vulnerabilities that allow pests to access feed stores, helping protect horse feed from contamination and loss.

Muck Clamp & Waste Area Management
Improving the management of muck storage and waste areas to reduce pest attraction and maintain better overall yard hygiene.

Building Entry Point Control
Locating and securing small gaps, holes and access points around stables, barns and outbuildings that allow rodents to enter and establish nests.

Monitoring & Prevention
Installing and maintaining monitoring points to track pest activity and prevent infestations from developing into larger problems.

Horse-First Pest Control

Every yard we work on operates under our horse-first approach. Pest control products, placement and working methods are chosen specifically to ensure horses remain protected at all times.

This means considering how horses move around the yard, how they investigate their surroundings and how feed and bedding are stored. By focusing on these realities of equine environments, we can control pests effectively while maintaining a safe and responsible yard.

Our goal is simple: to protect your horses, your feed stores and your facilities through practical, equine-safe pest management.
