Pests, be it of any type, pose a grave threat to all living things. Different forms of pests like mosquitoes, termites, flies, and funguses have a detrimental impact on humans, our food sources, and the surrounding environment. You may not be completely conscious that you are sharing food with these mischievous living creatures. It’s gross.
Before making pest control strategies, you should first identify the type of pest you are dealing with, and their lifestyle. This will allow you to use the right system, and easily get rid of them. If you’re unsure, contacting a pest control company is safest.
When you think of pests in the home, insects may be the first criterion that comes to mind. After all, who likes to see ants infesting their houses, or flies? Many that insects in the home include feared pests like termites, bed bugs, and cockroaches. Some common pests and infects found in homes:
Flies
Whether houseflies or fruit flies, these pests can cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning bacteria.
Bed bugs
They feed on human blood and are very difficult to monitor because they spread rapidly. Skilled services are recommended to get rid of bugs in your house. Advance pest control offers premium bed bug removal services.
Ants
Ants enter houses in search of food. Their nests are often placed on lawns, in moist, dry soil and under paving, searching for finely powdered soil.
Wasps
Wasps can come into your yard as a hazard and can infiltrate homes through open windows. Large nesting wasps can contain more than 25,000 wasps! Nests can be found in wall cavities, trees, and bushes.
Termites
Termites are one of the most destructive pests, with the average damage to a home ranging from $7,000 to $8,000 and most house insurance policies do not cover this!
Cockroaches
Cockroaches tend to live in the cavities of warm houses, kitchens and walls. They sometimes come out after dark, feeding on every food type and may carry diseases.
Pests can be controlled by practicing good hygiene in the following ways:
- Clean up after meals. Put food scraps in the bin, and wash and dry plates, cups, glasses, cutlery and cooking pots after use.
- Put all rubbish into the bin
- Wrap all food scraps tightly in paper before putting them in the bin
- Keep all the benches, cupboards and floors clean and free of food scraps
- Regularly clean behind stoves, refrigerators and other household appliances
- Keep food in containers with tight-fitting lids
- Use the toilet properly. Make sure that all urine and faeces goes into the pedestal pan and that the toilet is flushed after use. Toilet paper is the only kind of paper that should be flushed down the toilet.
- Make sure the toilet is clean and the cistern works correctly
- Make sure that all septic tanks and leach drains are well sealed
- Make sure that the community rubbish tip is operated correctly with the rubbish being buried regularly
