Protecting Your Home From Pests

Perhaps man discovered agriculture and pest control methods nearly simultaneously, and since then, the fight is on. Now, as if agricultural pests were not enough, there is a big menace of domestic pests, too. Of which termites, or white ants as they are generally called, are most dreaded as they feed on just about anything organic. Surprisingly enough, they can bore through six feet thick concrete and live for ages without food.

Pest Control Methods

Pest control methods largely differ for domestic and agriculture applications. Traditional methods of pest control in agriculture mainly included crop rotation, selective breeding and companion planting. Low flying airplanes are made use of in sprinkling chemical pesticides over large fields.

Chemical pest control methods are quite old and are said to be in practice since 4000 or 4500 years. But closer to date, pyrethrum and derris were introduced which were followed by better synthetic pesticides like DDT and other herbicides.

The Domestic Scenario

But domestic pest problem is almost entirely different. The major pests that bother us are termites, rodents, mosquitoes and bed bugs. You can almost call termites as terror-mites. These soft looking, unassuming ant like insects, belong to two types: subterranean and dry wood termites, belonging to over 2000 species. Both of them subsist on cellulose.

How Do You Know?

A thorough inspection of critical areas (without dismantling) by professionals reveals whether your home is infested by termites or is vulnerable for attacks. Inspection may require instruments sometimes.

Pest Control Agencies

Living beagles can sniff out the termites. Protimeter for mold detection, scanning and acoustic infrared sensors, resistographs and fractometers are other instruments generally used by the agencies.

What Do They Do

Fumigation, spot treatment and removal of infested wood are some immediate options. While fumigation exterminates dry wood termites, a certified applicator’s presence is necessary before during and after fumigating and aeration to allow occupancy. But dry wood termites need wood penetrating fumigants. For subterranean types, following manufacturer’s instructions is essential which include pouring pesticides into holes drilled at regular intervals around the infested area.

Flys, mosquitoes and bugs are controlled by chemicals prallethrin, and the normally available rat poisons. But don’t use them without expert advice.

Choosing an Expert

You need an expert when buying real estate at far off places or when pest controlling the entire home. Keep these points in your mind when choosing one.

1. Take neighbors’ recommendations based on their satisfaction level.

2. Taking hasty decisions won’t help as you need professional expertise; look for one by checking with their past clients.

3. Check their authenticity, whether they are registered by the local authorities or are they members of National Pest Management Association etc.

4.Check what the guarantees cover and get things in writing.

5. Check for legal restrictions on commercial applicators; call Environmental Protection Agency for confirmation.

6. Beware of those who offer huge discounts. After all you want value, not price.

Termite Control

ITEM SECURE, founded in the year 2001-2002, is an independent entity affiliated to PESTCONE PEST CONTROL SERVICES, BARODA.

ITEM (Integrated Termite Elimination Method) is a very cost effective method and is a revolutionary concept for anti-termite treatment. This new system of treatment, successfully developed by us- for the first time in India in the area of pest control treatment, is a property of 9001 : 2008 certified company.

No one is unaware of the destruction caused by the termites. Termites are a real problem and they create havoc to our wooden furniture, walls and wherever they have formed swarms. It has become our chief priority to save our sweet home. Every one of us is searching for the best available termite control products in the market. Several companies have produced many insecticides and pesticides for termite control or termite prevention, but only few of them have succeeded in giving the most powerful and effective insecticides.

One of them is ITEM Secure. It places itself in the few top pest control companies in Gujarat. ITEM Secure is a pioneer in anti termite treatment and pre construction termite and pest treatment with its unique method.

ITEM Secure have actually developed a system for termite protection rather than a product. ITEM stands for Integrated Termite Elimination Method. ITEM is a technology involving intelligent Network. This network includes pipes and valves with built-in drippers. Intelligent network of pipes is laid under the floor, inside and outside the building. Pesticides are pumped into the network which spreads them uniformly in the soil, all around the building. Pumping is done through imported drippers which restricts the entry of termites in the structure. It took many attempts, trial and errors, research and experiments to develop this technology ITEM for termite prevention. Pipes can also be made up of LLDP (Low Linear Density of Polythene). The best part is we inject only the optimum quantity of chemical and creating the barrier at entry points, whereas in the conventional method we have to spray chemical all over the ground even at the places treatment not required. This treatment is repeated as and when necessary. Thus it is a revolutionary concept in the field of preconstruction termite treatment and preconstruction pest control.

Infrastructure installation is a new milestone as far as anti-termite treatment is concerned.

Question about wasps and snake pest control at our new house…?

We just got a brand new house which we love. We haven’t moved in yet but we went over there to get some ideas on where we want to put all of our furniture. When I was in the house, I saw 3 wasps inside. There are many wasp nests outside the back door and front door. I don’t know if they came in when we went in the front door or if they somehow came in through the vents. Is it possible for them to come in through the A/C vents? Also, we went out into the backyard, when we did, we saw a LONG black snake that stood straight up and then ran away. My hubby said it was just a harmless snake, but we have a 1 year old and a 5 year old and the thought of a snake in the backyard horrifies me. These things wouldn’t typically bother me, but we have kids!

Black snakes eat mice and rats! I have never heard of one attacking anyone, and I lived in the country all my life, I’ve got one in the back that’s huge and been there for years and never harmed a thing with my cats and dog. The snake will move away when you move in your new home because they don’t like company.
There are products at the box stores that will be helpful in getting rid of wasps. Usually, they will put up a little papery nests easily identifiable becaue they’ll have a few wasps on them. Then you just spray and run like hell. hee hee. I really think theres a product that is entirely safe. I use a wasp spray in my outbuildings and there’s nests all over, I just don’t let them bother me.
