Professional Bug Control

Bedbugs and other house pests have increasingly become dangerous and have posed serious challenges to normal human life. Pests such as mites, cockroaches, fleas and bugs have high reproduction rate and controlling them is a great challenge. Have you encountered problems in eradicating pests? Have you tried different methods of doing away with these insects all in futile?

Here are some of the ideal ways of controlling bugs and other harmful pests;
  • Chemical treatment
Chemicals are efficient in controlling pests such as fleas, cockroaches, mites and bedbugs. Chemical differ from one pest to another due to the difference in genetic structure of the organisms. Insecticides have proven to be a far more effective means of dealing with the insects.
In the case of fleas, infested structures and pets need to be infected and sprayed carefully, while also avoiding contact with the fleas. Spraying insecticide mists over the area maximizes contact with the organism hence reducing chances of survival.
When handling cockroaches, specific chemicals can be used since in most cases, cockroaches stay near food substances and utensils. Proper application of such chemicals while targeting the cockroach congestion areas is the most appropriate method of eliminating them in your household.

Bedbugs are also sprayed using chemical insecticides. Bedbugs hide in mattresses and along bed stands. For the mattresses, apply mists to fold and maybe seams but not the entire mattress. Furniture should also be treated the same as mattresses especially at the joints. However, treated furniture should not be used until dry, mostly recommended after 3 days.


  • Use of Essential oils.
 Most cockroaches are found on kitchen cabinets and using these oils is ideal as it does not poison food substances like chemicals. Bay tree is known for producing bay leaves which produces flavor and fine smell.
When these leaves are crushed and put in drawers and cabinets, cockroaches may disappear due to the fragrance smell produced by the leaves.
This is because the leaves have essential oils that produce repellent effects to the insects. Changing the leaves over time keeps cockroaches away from your household.
 
  • Use the necessary procedures
All pest controllers should understand the necessary steps used in treating each pest. If you are a homeowner and you want to handle the problem, be very careful. Improper misapplication of pesticides can be very hazardous if not well handled. Some organisms like cockroaches and bedbugs mutate easily and using improper method might make it harder to eliminate such insects.
It might also lead to double costs if not well checked. It is advisable to look for the best labor option available.
  • Use of simple pest control tactics
Most people have considered these as the best pest control methods. Regular pest controls and elimination of harboring areas constitute to effective pest control.This includes simple techniques like,
  • Replacement of light bulbs. Yellow bulbs are used to replace other light bulbs since they are less attractive to flies, mites, moths and cockroaches.
  • Installing weather-stripping and replacing old ones on your doors as well as replacing old door sweeps minimizes pest entrance into the house.
  • Sealing expansion joints helps block pest entry into your premises. These areas are sealed with caulk hence limiting entrance of pests.

  • Sealing your home
This can be done the same way cold-weather preparations are done to securely prevent your homestead and secure it from any potential pests.
If you want to seal off your home, use the following mechanisms;
  • Use caulk to seal all cracks, holes and crevices on your doors, windows and even foundation.
  • Closets and cupboards should be highly cleaned and organized together with any other storage units
  • Discard any unwanted materials that attract pests like cardboards, papers, dirt and garbage.
 
  • Identify the pest that is bugging you
If you are a homeowner and you are interested in proper pest management, it is good to determine the pest or insect that you will be handling. Many pests are very micro and seeing them might be a huge challenge.
If this problem persists, consider purchasing a binocular magnifier. When buying this magnifier, select one that produces digital images. These images are clear for identification and hence call for proper pest control.
  • Evaluation of pests
It is advisable to spend time evaluating the effect of the pests before taking the appropriate pest control mechanisms. This helps in evaluation of costs as well as duration and risks of the exercise.Evaluation also helps the homeowner to identify different ways in which pests gain entry into their households hence avoidance of such problems in the future. It also economizes resources in terms of costs to be incurred.
  • Understand the risks posed by the insects.
Bedbugs and other pests pose high risks to you and your family members. Bugs cause sleeping difficulties thus increasing human stress. Cockroaches lead to food poisoning and are very humiliating especially if visitors are present.Other pests like fleas attack your pests and easily spread to people. They feed on blood and are mostly known for transmitting infections. When the risks incurred are identified, there is awareness and hence pest control is effectively carried out.
