About Us
Pest control is the management and regulation of species classified as a pest. These are the members of the animal kingdom that can adversely impact human activities. The human reaction will depend on the extent of damage done and will range from being tolerant of deploying preventive measures to eradicating the pests issue altogether.
Pest control measures can be a way to implement a pest management strategy to exterminate the problem. In urban environments at your home, the most common pests found are insects, birds, rodents, and other organisms sharing habitats with humans feeding on spoil possessions.
You can control these pests by attempts such as repulsion, exclusion, chemical means, or physical removals. If these are not successful, you can use a variety of other tactics such as biological control, including sterilisation, etc.
It is common for various unwelcome animals to enter residential, commercial and industrial buildings and make their homes. Some of them can contaminate your food, cause structural damage to your property, chew through your fabrics and infest dry food and goods.
Many of these pests inflict substantial economic loss, whereas others carry severe diseases and even cause fire hazards, and some can just be a nuisance. You can attempt to control these pests by improving your home’s garbage and sanitation control, modifying your habitat, using repellents and growth regulators, baits, traps and pesticides.
GENERAL METHODS FOR PEST CONTROL | Physical Pest Control
The physical pest control method is about killing or trapping pests such as rodents and insects. On a domestic scale, a pest control service can use sticky flypapers to trap flies etc.
In larger buildings, exterminators can use volatile synthetic chemicals, and ultraviolet lighting devices to attract and trap insects.
Poisoned bait is a standard pest control method for controlling mice, rats, slugs, birds, snails, cockroaches, ants, and other house infesting pets. It is a basic formulation containing a food item that attracts targeted pests and a poison suitable to exterminate them.
For ants, you can use a slow-acting toxin so the ants can carry substance back to their colonies. On the other hand, you can use a quick-acting substance for flies to prevent any more egg-laying activities and nuisance.
For snails and slugs, you can use molluscicide metaldehyde, but be careful as this substance is dangerous for home pets and children.
A risk assessment site survey should be carried out in all commercial and residential premises – only then will recommendations be carried out.
Labelled rodenticide and insecticide bait is a standard pest control method for controlling mice, rats, birds, cockroaches, ants, and other house infesting pets. It is a basic formulation containing a food item that attracts targeted pests and a poison suitable to exterminate them.
