    Our Pest Control Tips

    How to keep roaches away from your home?
    • Reduce sources of food and water. Even cough drops by the bed are potential cockroach food
    • Remove dead leaves and rubbish heaps including compost piles from near your home
    • Store food in closely-tight containers hat cockroaches cannot chew through. Paper and cardboard boxes are not cockroach-proof.
    How to keep ants at bay?
    • Store garbage cans in dry places (not under your kitchen's sink)
    • Empty garbage cans often and keep clean
    • Trim tree limbs so they don't touch or hang directly over your house
    • Consider replacing rotted or water-damaged wood
    • Inspect possible entry points like windows, door frames, and pipes or small openings.
    • Caulk or screen areas to seal entry.  
    How to get rid of fleas?
    • Take your pet to a veterinarian for treatment on the same day as your scheduled pest control visit. This dual treatment is essential to effective flea control
    • Wash all pet bedding thoroughly in hot water or destroy if necessary
    • Vacuum all floors and upholstered furniture thoroughly, especially where pets sleep, to remove organic debris and as many flea eggs, larvae, pupae and adults as possible.
    • Seal the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and remove from house
    • Trim lawns and weeds around the house to create a less inviting environment for flea larvae
    How to stop rodents from eating your food?
    • Store food, especially grains and nuts, in rodent-proof glass or metal containers, not plastic
    • Refrigerate fresh fruit and vegetables
    • Separate organic garbage from other garbage
    • Drain the organic material and wrap it tightly in a newspaper before throwing it away.
    • Rodent-proof your garbage cans by setting them on a 12-inch high platform and equip them with fasteners
    • Maintain a distance of at least two feet between the cans and structures from which rodents might jump onto the cans
    • Pick up or bury fallen fruit and pet feces daily. Put away any foods that pets do not eat right away
    How some insects may be a danger to your health?
