If you’re a homeowner, then there’s a good chance that you’ve had to encounter various pest problems that disrupt the cleanliness, structural integrity, safety and sanitation of your household and property.
With there being well over 20 common house pests in the Philippines being a tropical country, almost every homeowner has been affected by one or more of these every day pests listed below. While there may be available products that you can shop online and over-the-counter, without proper skills on integrated pest management programs, then solving these pest problems permanently requires having regular pest inspection from professionals.
If you have any of these pests at home, feel free to contact us for consultation:
Cockroaches
Everyone’s least favourite pest, the cockroach, is usually a night time lurker which is why they can go unspotted for weeks if not even months in someone’s home. Not only are they creepy and unsightly, but they are also transmitters of disease and can cause allergic reactions in individuals.
Termites
In the Philippines, there are 200 species of known termites living amongst us – with 20 or more species being able to cause significant damage to homes. Most homeowners notice that they have them after seeing their bodies lying below window or in sashes where caught termites have had to exit, though also look for things like hollowed wood that has dirt in the holes or tunnels.
Rodents
Both the house mouse and the black rat are well known in streets and drainages in Metro Manila, and without both being properly controlled, their populations can increase exponentially in no time. The more rodents there are around your home, the more likely you are to be affected by pestilence and disease.
Most homeowners call general pest control companies in Metro Manila because they see them scamper across their kitchen or their front yard, though small round droppings inside or outside of the home are also a good indication that you may have a rodent problem.
Bed Bugs
We’ve all heard stories about how people have had to throw out their clothes, mattresses, couches, and other expensive items in an attempt to get rid of bed bugs. While difficult to get rid of, good pest control services are able to eradicate these pesky pests without causing extensive damage to your home or your belongings, and can prevent you from having to throw out and replace your furniture and belongings.
Solution: Regular Pest Inspection for Residential Properties
House inspections are very important, especially prior to moving into a new home. This could either be a rental or even that new home you are interested in purchasing. Pests can bring about health concerns for your family and even may kick you out of your own home if the damage they have caused is severe. Merely inspecting the home yourself is not enough since pests thrive in places that are not easy to identify. The house may pass as a clean and safe place to call home but actually have termites and wood rot in some areas or even rodents. The only way you can ensure that you are moving your family into a safe environment is by having a professional inspection done.
Pests can bring about fungal decay and this could trigger complications such as asthma and residents can develop allergies and other complications. Many people have had to contend with huge hospital bills to treat allergies that could be easily be avoided. You may be lucky and avoid sickness but have deep financial troubles dealing with extensive house repairs. Termites feed on your wood structures and may destroy your furniture, doors and house support structure leading to fatal accidents in the house. This creates an environment that is not safe for your family or even keeps pets.
When making that ever important step to buy or rent a home, it is important that you engage in the services of general pest control companies. People acquire homes with the idea living in them for a very long time if not eternity. This is an investment that is carefully planned out and maybe even reached after a lifetime of saving. You therefore want to ensure that you do not jeopardize your investment by acquiring a home that is filled with structural defects brought about by pests. Pest inspection in Metro Manila should not only be done when moving into a new house, but on a regular basis as well.
