COMMON PESTS
Mosquito
Mosquitoes are small, midge-like flies that feed on the blood of various kinds of hosts, mainly vertebrates, including mammals. Saliva of the mosquito often causes an irritating rash that can be quite a nuisance but much more serious though, are the roles of many species of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases. In passing from host to host, some transmit extremely harmful infections such as malaria and dengue fever.
Cockroach
Cockroaches have been long despised by homeowners due to their creepy appearance. Cockroach control and management are important for health and safety reasons, because cockroaches are known to cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma attacks, especially in children. They also spread nearly 33 kinds of bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella.
Rodent
Rodents can be difficult to keep out of structures. Mice can squeeze through spaces as small as a dime and rats can fit through holes the size of a quarter. For proper rodent pest control, seal any cracks and voids. Ensure there is proper drainage at the foundation and always install gutters or diverts which will channel water away from the building.
Bed bug
Bed bugs get their name from their habit of feeding on human hosts in bed. They are excellent hitchhikers, easily transported and are found in many different types of dwellings, which make them difficult to control.
Termite
Termites belong to a family of small soft-bodied insects that live in large colonies with the ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper, causing property damage, if undetected.
