ANT CONTROL
Ant Pest Control in Homes and Businesses
Ant species number in the thousands, making them one of the most populous creatures on Earth. The numerous pest varieties of ant species are frequent unwelcome guests in houses, garages, storage areas, warehouses, and other structures. This is where you might need the help of a pest control company.
Identifying Ant Species
Identifying the particular species of pest invading your home or business is actually a very important part of the pest control process. Several pesticide products are easily available in the market, using which you can implement various strategies. However, it is possible to waste a lot of money without making a significant difference in pest activity. Identifying the ant species that is troubling you will let you take a more targeted approach to ant pest control in homes.
These features will help you tell one ant species from another:
Colour - Ants are not just red or black. Shiny black ants are different than black-brown ants. Pay close attention to colour variation on different segments of the body as well.
Size - Since it can be hard to measure an ant accurately, try comparing it to something you can measure. Is it shorter than a grain of rice? Is it closer to the size of a sunflower seed?
Activity - Take note of any peak periods of activity you notice. Some ants are most active at night or in the early morning.
Ant Problems in Homes or Businesses
The most common complaint that NMP hear about ants is their simple pesky nature. Seeing insects indoors is a distraction and eyesore. Some people feel that ant control methods can be put off because the ants are not causing any specific problems. This is not necessarily true. Ants can also eat vegetation, kill off native populations of beneficial insects, and cause damage to electrical appliances.
Taking Actions Against Ant Problems
Ants nest in places near the resources they need, specifically food. They are easily attracted by spilled starch and sugar or by unsecured garbage. Though basic cleaning will help prevent ants from showing up in the first place, ants can identify food that has been improperly stored or dropped into inaccessible places. Simple cleaning may not be enough.
COCKROACH CONTROL
Cockroaches are a common pest problem in large city areas, with the presence of mainly German and Oriental types. They are extremely adept at entering buildings, but can be found both indoors as well as outdoors. Homeowners may start having problems with cockroaches when the roach population has grown into a large infestation. This can cause many problems to homeowners. Hence, it is important that you as a homeowner know about cockroach control in the UK.
How Do Cockroaches Get Into A Home?
Cockroaches enter a building in different ways. These include entering through cracks and crevices in a structure, vents and sewer lines, home delivered furniture, or even sacks of farm produce. Cockroaches are nocturnal, which means that they only come out at night. However, they scatter when they are disturbed, or when a light is switched on.
How Quickly Can They Reproduce?
Cockroaches are known to reproduce quickly, especially when they are in an environment with plenty of food and water sources available. Generally, they form large groups, which can lead to them staining the walls, floors, and spreading their saliva, faeces, cast skins, around the house.
How Can Cockroach Infestations Be Treated?
All of our expert technicians at NMP do not recommend a do-it-yourself approach to cockroaches, as it is often ineffective. Cockroaches are very good at hiding and multiplying quickly. In addition, due to their biology, their eggs are not affected by traditional insecticides.
At NMP, we are professionals in common pest control. We use specific professional products that will ensure complete eradication of a cockroach infestation. Products used may involve growth inhibitors, and other products and techniques not known to the average homeowner.
