Meet the Pests and Know the Solution



There are surely different types of pests but there is one more surefire thing about them- we detest coming across them. A pest control company in Florida knows very well that pests are harmful to our health and to our homes or commercial establishments. It is important that we familiarize ourselves to these kinds of pest so we can have more appropriate ways to attack and get rid of them. In advertising, it is important to know your target audience first to effectively deliver a message that will penetrate into the minds of your target. The same may also be true in pest control. We have to know our target so we’ll know the best treatment or techniques that we have to do to effectively get rid of them like how the termite control company in Florida does. The following are different types of pests and their characteristics.

  • Mice or rats- Mice or rats have a habit of gnawing at foods, not just cheese but many other more kinds in our kitchen. Their teeth are constantly growing and they are really sharp. They can also attack wiring or pipes and this habit can actually make their teeth sharper. Of course, we are not so much pleased by this due to unfortunate possible outcomes. Rats or mice can move from drains to our food and utensils. This can bring organisms that can cause many kinds of diseases in our mouth. The most alarming fact about them is that they are able to spread their urine to places which may a serious kind of disease to a wounded part of our body. They often climb trees and then drop down to our roofs. We can get rid of them through traps or baits.
  • Black Ants- The society of ants begins when the “queen” rears the larvae and feed it with its saliva. When the larvae mature, it forms cohort workers of ants. While the queen is rearing the first batch of workers, she uses the reserves from her muscles as food. The colony grown in number and the workers will be the one to tend the eggs layed by the queen. These kinds of ants mainly get their food from smaller insects, nectar, honeydew and seeds. August is their typical mating period and some fertilized queens set up another colony.
  • Termites- There are studies that say termites have been around since the time of dinosaurs. Termites are considered as social insects because they are raised as a group. Their damage can be really great because they normally attack our home or commercial structures. They have wings and they are always looking for a great place where they can build a nest. There are actually different types of termites which include subterranean termites, drywood termites and many others. We have to keep damp wood away from our homes and keep water drain away from our homes. Another alarming fact about termites is that they eat non-stop and they cause up to two billion amount of damage every year.  
  • Cockroaches- Diarrhea is one of the most common types of disease that cockroaches bring. They can also cause salmonella, typhoid and gastroenteritis. They are seen everywhere from factories, warehouses, hotels and in our homes. They are actually difficult to destroy so there is no doubt that they are one of the oldest living creatures on earth. Roaches are being pushed away through pesticides available in the market.
