Home Pest Control
Pests are attracted to residential areas for several reasons, including seasonal changes, weather changes, food and water shortages, and loss of habitat. Natural habitats are diminishing as more land is converted to residential use. Pests have the exact basic needs as we do, such as food, water, and shelter, and our homes fulfil these needs quite well. Thus, when the weather changes, the water dries up, or food sources have been displaced or destroyed, your house might be attractive to a number of household pests like ants, roaches, rodents, termites, mosquitoes, and more.
Pests seek shelter indoors when the weather becomes extreme. Singapore’s hot, humid tropical climate means pests like cockroaches and ants can thrive year-round. During dry spells or heat waves, pests will be driven indoors in search of food and water sources. Conversely, heavy monsoon rains also flush pests inside as they seek drier shelter. They can squeeze through small cracks, holes, and crevices in your building, around windows and doorways, and through plumbing, drain pipes, and sewer lines. Secondly, there are pests like rodents who can live for months on mere crumbs. Roaches are also attracted to food scraps and dishes left in the sink. Finally, any abundant water sources, such as pet water bowls, still water, and leaky faucets, are like water parks for household pests. Termites are likely to thrive in your home if there is damp wood they can chew leading to your home. Most insects need only a small amount of water to survive for months.
Pest infestations may be resolved temporarily by do-it-yourself products, but most situations, especially when the infestation is severe, require materials that are not available to the public. Engaging home pest control professionals can help totally eradicate household pests by determining what specific pest wreaks havoc on your home and what conditions may be contributing to the infestation (excess moisture, leftover food, or harborage). Home pest control services offer effective pest protection programs that treat the perimeter of your residential property to seal off pests.
