PEST INFORMATION
Pests come in various forms, ranging from insects like ants and cockroaches to small rodents such as mice and rats. Each type of pest poses unique challenges and requires specific strategies for control and prevention.
ANTS
Ants belong to a diverse group of insects with over 12000 species, each adapted to different environments and behaviors. While ants play essential roles in ecosystems, some species can become pests when they invade homes or damage crops.
COCKROACHES
There are over 4000 species of cockroaches worldwide, with about 30 species known to infest human dwellings. Cockroaches are considered harmful pests due to their ability to spread diseases, contaminate food, and trigger allergies in humans.
WASPS
Wasps are considered troublesome pests due to their aggressive nature and painful stings, which can provoke allergic reactions in some individuals. Additionally, they can build nests near homes, posing a threat to residents and pets.
CRICKETS
Crickets can be problematic pests as they are known to cause damage to fabrics, paper, and even food stored in homes. Their loud chirping can also disrupt sleep and cause annoyance, especially in large numbers.
SPIDERS
Spiders are often unwelcome pests due to their ability to create unsightly webs in homes and other structures. Additionally, some spider species possess venom that can be harmful to humans if they bite, causing health concerns
SCORPIONS
Scorpions are troublesome pests known for their painful stings, which can be dangerous, especially to individuals with allergic reactions. Their presence in homes poses a threat to residents, particularly in regions where they are prevalent.
EARWIGS
Earwigs are considered nuisance pests as they can infest homes and gardens, damaging plants and crops. Their presence can be unsettling to homeowners, especially when they gather in large numbers indoors.
SILVERFISH
Silverfish are problematic pests known for infesting homes and damaging items such as paper, books, and clothing. Their presence can lead to costly damage and the need for extensive pest control measures to eliminate them effectively.
FLEAS
Fleas are troublesome pests that can infest homes and pets, causing discomfort and skin irritation through their bites. Their rapid reproductive rate can lead to widespread infestations, requiring thorough treatment to eradicate them completely.
TICKS
Ticks are concerning pests due to their ability to transmit diseases such as Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever to humans and animals through their bites. Their small size and habit of latching onto hosts unnoticed make them particularly dangerous vectors for various illnesses.
MICE / RATS
Mice and Rats are problematic pests that can cause structural damage to buildings by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood. Additionally, they pose health risks by contaminating food sources and spreading diseases through their droppings and urine.
