NEA Certified Pest Control Company in Singapore

Generally, preventive treatments are shorter, taking around fifteen to thirty minutes. However, a professional pest control treatment can take up to six weeks for complete eradication, depending on the level of infestation and type of pests.

Mosquitoes are found in stagnant water bodies such as flowerpots, pails, clogged drains and gully traps. Cockroaches and ants can reside in cracks and crevices around the buildings. They are attracted to food sources such as food waste, rubbish as well as water sources.

On the other hand, flies lay their eggs on food sources such as food wastes and around rubbish bins, while termites can be found infesting building structures, especially those made of wood.

One popular technique to eliminate termites is treating the soil around the affected property with a termites insecticide (termiticide). However, do-it-yourself termite control or treatment is largely ineffective since identifying the termite species is critical for successful treatment. Another effective method that is being widely used today is the termite baiting treatment, which eliminates the termite colony while being non-disruptive to the surrounding property.

On the other hand, one easy way to get rid of bugs, including ants, mosquitoes and cockroaches, from the property is by using bug repellent and making sure the property stays clean. Nonetheless, these methods are not one-hundred per cent fool-proof.

The best way to deal with termites and bugs long-term is to hire reliable pest control specialists who have the expertise and experience in termites and bug extermination, control and treatment for your case.

Mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, flies and rodents are the most commonly found pests in Singapore. Pests, such as bed bugs and fleas, may be brought in by humans or animals occasionally. Termites are important structural pests that can cause great economic impacts on the property owners.

Pest control is important as pests can carry diseases, infest the property, bite or sting the occupants and their pets. For instance, termites can cause costly property damages, while mosquitoes can transmit dengue virus. Therefore, exterminating and controlling pests in and around the property is critical for safety and health.

Although the preparation for pest control services is relatively standard for homeowners, most pest control companies in Singapore will provide you with a list of specific preparation steps to be done before their arrival. Some services refuse to treat unprepared areas or areas not prepared according to their specifications. Generally, you need to do the following before their visit:

• Cover or place exposed foods away
• Clear or declutter areas to be treated; packed away clothes, toys, toiletries and other items
• Clear out the countertops and trash cans
• Keep the pets away

It is safe to stay in the house after our regular inspection and treatments. However, for some treatments such as bed bug treatments, it is recommended to stay away from your home or building for one to several hours after the work is finished. The duration is not absolute and may vary depending on the type of pest control services you requested. You may even need to wait for up to twenty-four hours.

Nevertheless, if you opt for services that utilise safe and natural alternatives that do not contain any toxic chemicals, there is no need to leave the area. Still, the specialists may ask you to wait for around fifteen minutes to let the treatment settle and dry.

The right time to opt for pest control at home depends on several factors, including the types of pests, the pests’ level of growth, degree of damage caused by the pests, and recurrence chances. Some pests need regular treatments as they tend to recur within a short time; other pests do not appear quite as often. Regular pest control treatments carried out monthly, bi-monthly or even quarterly can prevent serious pest infestations.

It would be best if you waited for at least one week after receiving pest control treatment before doing a deep cleaning. Cleaning right after extermination may cause the chemicals to rub off prematurely, undermining the treatment’s overall efficacy. Talk to the pest control team before cleaning and find out which cleaning process is permissible.

Pests have varying lifespan and development cycles, which contributes to one of the main factors affecting the frequency of pest treatments. Mosquito, for example, is a medically important pest that requires more frequent treatments as they have a short life cycle that can complete in as short as seven days. The chemicals used in pest control can stay effective for up to months, but they may be affected by human activities such as washing and watering plants.

For homes and apartments, experts recommend doing pest control frequently on a quarterly or bi-monthly basis. If your home has serious infestations, it is advisable to do monthly treatments over three to six months.

Most pest control solutions today are safe for both people and pets. Therefore, it is critical to know what kind of products and solutions the pest control company uses. Hire only those that use registered and toxic-free products. Still, it would be best to let the pest control services know what type of pets you have to ensure they use products and techniques that are safe for your pets.
