TERMITE MANAGEMENT
Imagine finding a termite mound as high as 10 feet in your yard. To researchers in northeastern Brazil,
this wasn’t part of their imagination, but instead, a real discovery. They found a massive complex of 200
million termite mounds, which may be up to 4,000 years old. As you might gather, termites are rather
sophisticated bugs that can survive even if natural predators, like ants, birds and toads, abound.
Each year, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage. Termites are known as "silent destroyers" because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected
Part of the reason why termites are so successful is because they live and work in social groups, called
colonies. A subterranean termite colony might include several million individuals. Unlike other bugs, such as cockroaches and grasshoppers, social insects, like termites, depend on each other to survive. Each
termite performs a specific job that helps the colony as a whole.
Every termite colony is complex and has one or more “headquarters,” usually found in a food source like
a log. The colony centers are connected to other food sources by a series of underground tunnels. Worker
termites use these tunnels to travel back and forth, and some of them bring food back to their kings and
queens. In this chapter, we’ll explore the termite social system further. We’ll also look at the termite life cycle, from tiny termite babies to their mysterious queens.
LIFE CYCLE
ADULT
If we look at the life cycle of the termite it will usually begin with the mating of the flight, where we will be seeing the swarming which is the reproductive males and as well as the females who will be having wings on them usually leave a well-established colony in order to procreate. Once the fertilization is said
to be completed the winged termites will land and usually shed their wings thereby going on to form new
colonies. These sets of insects will then later become the king or queen termites of their colonies which they have newly established. If we look at the queen and the king termite they are said to be at the center of the termite life cycle and are mainly responsible for the part of reproduction. The king has the main job in life is to mate with the queen also through chemical secretions known as pheromones he and the queen determine how many of their offspring develop into workers, soldiers, or reproductives. In 5 years
the king and queen can grow the colony into a million termites. Talking about the queen, her main job is
to lay as many eggs as she is usually fed by the worker termites with the king along as well. She also secretes the pheromones that control specialization in the colony. A queen can live for 25 years or more reported to reach a production of more than 1000 to 2000 eggs a day. Many of these reproductives die
before they can start a colony. Most subterranean termites nest in moist soil where there is a suitable
food source nearby.
EGGS
Once the fertilized queen will be laying her eggs they will usually hatch into larvae that are pale white in color. Eggs hatch into larvae and molt to develop into workers, soldiers, and primary and secondary
reproductives. The queen can lay from several 100 to several 1000 every day. The termites' eggs usually
take about a duration of 30 days in order for it to hatch into larvae. The eggs undergo 4 moltings, molting
is nothing but development and after the combination of these moultings, it enters into the next stage.
LARVAE
When we look at these immature termites who are usually fed through the salivary glands of the king and then later by usually the worker termites who are mature. Based on chemical messages received from the
queen and king, the larvae will develop into one of 5 specialties. Over the course of several molds, these
larvae grow to assume a role in one of the 3 termite colony cast workers, soldiers, and reproductive
termites also known as elates.
NYMPHS
In an intermediate stage, nymphs are destined to become one of 2 types of reproductive termites. While
they weigh they help in the care of the larvae and the king and queen. A nymph is a young termite that is
going through molds, a process of shedding its exoskeleton to become reproductive. First, a termite develops a soft exoskeleton under its current hard exoskeleton. Then once the termite has reached
maturity its outermost exoskeleton splits open and the new exoskeleton enlarges and hardens. This
molting process continues throughout a termite life cycle based on the colony’s needs.
WORKERS
The bread and butter of the colony they forage for food heat would feed the queen. The queen and the
saw lighters and care for the larvae, they are sterile. These worker termites then take over most of the
activities in the colony including the foraging. Leaving the queen to enlarge and turn into an egg-laying
machine.
SOLDERS
As the colony matures it also produces soldiers to defend the colony. As they will not be able to chew wood, so others will usually feed them but they are capable of killing. If the colony comes under attack the soldiers with the help of their oversized mandibles will be emitting a glue-like substance that is thick in nature that will immobilize invaders to their colony.
ALATES
Winged reproductive or rural elites, in a mature colony thousands of nymphs develop wing pads and become winged reproductives. They grow long fragile wings and feed themselves waiting for the
swarming season. The wing reproductives reach maturity and when the time is right headed to the sky on
moss. Creating the familiar and dreaded swarming ritual, they fly away from their home colony towards
any light source then fall to the ground.
DEALATE
Only 1% of the tens of thousands of the dealate survived the process of leaving the colony landing and looking for a mate. Those what survived will pair off, beat their wings from their bodies, and benign a highly structured mating ritual. In the rare instance when would water in the matched set of delights
come together. They made themselves become kings and queens, a new colony was born.
Understanding Termites
Drywood Termites
These are the general wood termites that usually attack anything made of wood such as furniture,
cupboards, doors, and parts of a wall made of wood. They do not require soil or high moisture content for
their survival. They only want wood to infest for a long time and can also be found in woods that quickly
decays.
They are smaller termites, not more than the size of a rice grain. They are brown or cream-coloured termites, but a swarm of flying drywood termites can appear white. You can detect their presence by scraping the surface of their infested wood.

Drywood Termites
There are the most popular termites to infest households. As the name suggests, subterranean termites
usually live underground in large colonies with almost 2 million termites in a single colony. Normally
they are quarter to half-inch in size and brown or black in colour. They have equal in size two pair of
wings. The solder and worker termites are cream in colour with no wings.
Along with wood, these termites also eat anything that is made with cellulose like books. They travel in mud pipe-like structures to prevent themselves from open air. They create these tubes near the connection from soil to walls, to travel for food safely.

Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites require high moisture content to survive, which is why they mostly attack decaying
wood. They are the longest among all the termites with nearly 1 inch in size. By the time they are
detected, the damage done to the area is irreparable. So, it is very much necessary to get regular inspections and hire professionals for anti-
termite treatments.
To hide their presence, they close the entry points with their faeces. As they do not create any mudtubes, they are very hard to detect. You can detect them through their faecal signs and discarded wings. Those woods that have direct contact with moisture or water on a regular basis are more prone to be infested by dampwood termites.

Formosan Termites
These dangerous termites cause the most damage to the structure of the house than any other termites.
They live in underground colonies and can create mud tubes on the walls for transport. They are often
called “super termites” due to their highly aggressive nature. These termites chew through their
preferred structures and cause damage to wooden fixtures and floors.
They are usually half-inch long and pale or brownish-yellow in colour. You can detect these termites through their swarms. Flying Formosan termites can be found near light sources such as tube lights and bulbs. They also leave many piles of shredded wings around the house. The wood these termites infest sound hollow when you tap on them.

Unbelievable Facts about Termites
1. Termites are good for you… to eat! Termites are rich in iron, calcium, protein, fatty and amino acids,
making them a highly nutritious food.
2. They never sleep. Termites build their colonies 24 hours a day, every day.
3. Termite colonies are big. The largest termite colony ever recorded contained over three million
termites!
4. Ants and termites are enemies. In fact, ants are the number one predators and competition for
termites. Occasionally, termite and ant colonies that are near each other will go to war over territory and
access to food.
5. Some species of termites build their colonies upward. In tropical areas, such as parts of Africa,
termite mounds can even be up to 30 feet high!
6. Termite damage is expensive. Every year, termites inflict more than 5 billion dollars worth of
property damage. That’s why it’s important to have a termite infestation taken care of ASAP!
7. Termites are eusocial. This means that they live in a caste system, where each caste has a different
role.
8. Soldier and reproductive termite castes can’t feed themselves. These two castes have to rely on worker termites to feed them by regurgitating digested cellulose into their mouths.
9. Termites are hygienic. Termite colonies spend a great deal of time grooming one another in order to prevent disease.
10. Termite queens dictate which caste her young will grow into. They do this by feeding their young pheromone-laden feces. The type of pheromone the queen secretes onto the waste determines the
role the termite will grow into.
11. Termites secrete a wide variety of different pheromones. The pheromones are secreted from glands located on their chests. Different pheromones communicate a wide variety of information to other caste members.
12. Termites have sense organs. These organs are located on the base of their antennae and tibiae that
allow them to sense vibrations. Scientists have observed that some species choose which food sources to
infest by sensing vibroacoustic signals emitted by various pieces of wood.
13. Termites use vibrations to communicate with one another. When soldier termites sense a threat, they tap or bang their heads against the colony’s tunnel walls. This creates vibrations to warn the rest of
the colony.
14. Many termite species have been around for a long time. Some varieties of termite species have
existed on earth for over 250 million years.
15. There are many species of termites. All over the world, there are over 2,700 termite species.
16. Termites are numerous. Some estimations suggest that they make up 10% of all animal biomass and 95% of soil and insect biomass in tropical regions.
17. Some queens in certain termite species can lay 15 to 25 eggs per minute. This adds up to over 40,000 termite eggs per day!
18. Queen termites from the Termitidae family can produce millions of eggs per year. In fact, they are known to produce around 10 million eggs per year.
19. Termite queens have the longest lifespan of any insect in the world. Some termite queens may live between 30 and 50 years, reproducing annually and founding numerous colonies.
20. if you put every termite on earth on a scale at once, their total combined weight would be 445 million tons. For reference, if you did the same thing with humans, we would weigh 350 million tons.
A. POST CONSTRUCTION TERMITE TREATMENT:
In the post-construction anti-termite treatment, chemical is injected into the ground drilling holes in the junction of floor and wall, soaking them with the termiticide and sealing them. By means of holes made at the junctions of walls and floors at 2 feet distances apart of the ground floor. Then these holes are sealed.
This makes a completely undetectable chemical barrier around your property. This leads faster control of
termites.
B. PRE CONSTRUCTION TERMITE TREATMENT:
Pre-construction anti-termite soil treatment consists of charging soil around the building and beneath
floor with powerful soil toxicants so as to create a chemical barrier.
RODENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
The Advanced Rodent Management treatment provides a total and effective control of rats & mice.
RODENT treatment uses registered products and is designed keeping human safety in mind. The rodent
has become one of the most important urban pests. The new age RODENT Service is based on type of
rodent species, extent of infestation & its spread. However, it's a combination of baiting, trapping &
proofing methods .you has to do the proofing against rodent entry as per our recommendation.
We will be place glue boards in the inner wall periphery and entry points to trap the presence of rodents
inside the processing area. And some chemical treatment depends upon the level of infestation. The
premises will be inspected and audited regularly by 24X7 experts to keep account of infestation level.
INTEGRATED RODENT MANAGEMENT
RATES AND MICE
Rats and mice are both rodents, so look similar – the biggest difference is their size. Rats are larger and
heavier while mice have smaller slender bodies. Mice also have long slender tails (for their body size)
covered in hair compared to rat tails which are shorter, thicker and hairless.
There is an old saying, “you never have just one mouse in the house,” and this statement is often true. If you spot one mouse, more are likely nearby. Rodents live mainly outdoors in spring and summer, but once fall and winter arrive, they attempt to move indoors to find shelter and food. If you are not careful, a home or business can create a perfect environment for rodents to thrive. The possibility of rodent
infestation means you need a pest control provider with the right experience to resolve the issue quickly.
Why Rodent Management Is Necessary?
The presence of rodents carries serious health and economic implications. Some of the illnesses rodents
carry can pose significant health risks. Rodent-borne diseases include rat bite fever, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and Lymphocytic choriomeningitis amongst others. These conditions can cause chronic symptoms, so home or property owners should do their best to keep rodents away from their property. These diseases can be spread to humans directly, through handling of rodents, through contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, or through rodent bites. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread
to humans indirectly, through ticks, mites or fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.
In addition to the diseases they carry, rodents also chew and contaminate food. Direct damage to product
requires immediate disposal, wasting food and other items. Prolonged rodent infestation can lead to food
contamination, as rodent feces and urine can contain harmful, disease-causing microorganisms. There
have been numerous instances where rodents have caused contamination to food product putting people
and their health at risk.
Not only are rodents dangerous, but they can also cause significant financial losses as well. A rodent
infestation can cause considerable and expensive property destruction and substantial food
contamination, especially in restaurants and other businesses. Additionally, rodents love to gnaw and
may also target a home or business’s electrical wires or foundation, which at best can damage your home,
or at worst, raise the risk of health problems. These financial burdens, along with the serious health and
safety risks rodents pose, mean home and property owners should have professionals swiftly handle a rat or mouse infestation.
The Most Widely Seen Species of the RODENTS
The Roof Rats
You will usually see these rats on the roofs of the structures and these rats are good at climbing. They
prefer to live in areas of the house like ceilings and attics. You will also notice the nest of such rodents in
dense vegetation, piles of debris and wood, and over the trees. The nests are usually found in the citrus
and avocado trees. The favourite things to eat for these rodents are cat, snail, and dog kibble.
The Norway Rats
These are not climbers and they prefer to stay at the lower levels of the structures. You will see them in crawl spaces, on the voids of the walls, in the storage rooms, or any messy area that is not used. In terms
of outdoors, they make their nests in storm drains, sewers, and burrows on the ground. Norway rats like
to eat protein and carbohydrate-rich food but they even eat items like soap.
The House Mouse
These are the smallest among the rat species and they are good at climbing. They are similar to Norway rats in their nesting patterns, and they usually stick to the ground when making nests.
The Bandicoots
The Bandicoots are the most aggressive among the rat species and they are also the biggest in size. They
are great at burrowing and can cause structural damage to the buildings through their burrowing. They are known to burrow on the floor and ground, and also spoil the stored goods.
Rats and rodents come to your house or premises in search of water, food and shelter. To keep the rodents away
HOW DO YOU KEEP RODENTS AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE OR PREMISES?
- Fill up any cracks or holes through which they can enter your house
- Don’t keep uncovered food out in the open, this attracts them to your house
- Set traps and baits at places frequently visited by the rodents
- Contact professional rodent control services company in case of any rodent problem on your premises

MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Mosquitoes are vectors of many human diseases like malaria, filariasis, dengue fever, encephalitis etc. to
save of millions of people control of these mosquitoes is very necessary. 24X7 is ideal solution for control
of mosquito through chemical method and can be used as space treatment. The major advantage of spraying is that it will manage insects for long periods of time.
HOW DANGEROUS ARE MOSQUITOES?
There is no denying that mosquitoes are dangerous. They are personally responsible for more than a million deaths each year, more than any other animal combined. Sadly, many of these deaths are easily
preventable, but a lack of access to adequate pest control and repellents make poorer countries and rural
communities more susceptible to infections caused by mosquitoes feeding on human blood.
As we’ve mentioned above, contracting serious diseases from mosquitoes is highly unlikely, so it’s difficult to describe them as “dangerous” in this setting. “Very irritating” is perhaps more suitable.
PEST CONTROL METHODS FOR MOSQUITOES
As with so many situations requiring pest control, prevention is better than reacting to the outcome.
Mosquitoes need still water in order to develop their larvae. Typically, they will choose ponds, lakes,
marshes and water butts. However, they are just as likely to opt for any small quantity of stagnant water
where they can breed unimpeded. You should seek to:
- Get rid of any empty cans, cups, containers or unused plant pots on your property that tend to gather rainwater
- Drill holes in the base of any recycling bins or containers that must be kept outside
- Check gutters to ensure that water is draining properly and clear any blockages
- Paddling pools should be packed away or at the very least, overturned when not in use
- Frequently change the water you put in bird and wipe down the rim when you do so (we suggest you use gloves as bird droppings can accumulate here)
- Mosquitoes will also use vegetation as shelter and food sources in the case of males. If you suspect your home is a viable breeding ground for mosquitoes, we would highly recommend you spray pesticide on any plants near your property when the weather is warm. Be aware that most pesticides will only affect adult mosquitoes, so if eggs have already been laid, additional pest control methods will be required later on
There are a variety of devices and sprays you can buy in shops that will help with mosquito control, but
only a professional will be able to provide the specialist advice required to eradicate the most stubborn
infestations.
OVER TO YOU
So, is pest control necessary for mosquitoes? Truthfully, the answer depends on your level of tolerance. An infestation is unlikely to turn deadly (though the possibility can never be ruled out) but if you feel like
a “mozzie” magnet and wake up with new bites every day or struggle to sleep over the constant whining,
you may well need to call in the experts from 24X7 Pest Management Services.

Are Cockroaches Really That Harmful?
Cockroaches are one of the most common insects in the world – and they’re not the prettiest thing to look
at either. But can they hurt you? The answer is varied. Let’s start with the upside. If you only see the
occasional cockroach in your home, chances are they won’t do much harm. It’s not uncommon to have
one crawl through and end up in your bathtub or closet – where you’ll likely find them and kill them
before they become a problem. Even though this scenario shows that your home could be at risk, it’s not a reason to bring out the big guns – yet. But what about the downside? That’s a different story. The bad
news is that cockroaches in greater numbers can have a severe impact on your health. Here are just a few
ways cockroaches can harm you:
They Can Carry & Spread Diseases
- Cockroaches can spread diseases through their feces and other secretions.
- Cockroaches are known to carry organisms that cause diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, leprosy, plauge, and typhoid fever
They Can Trigger Allergies and Asthma Attacks
- Cockroach debris (such as shells, feces, and other secretions) can trigger allergies or asthma attacks
- An allergic reaction can result in dermatitis, itching, swelling of the eyelids, and respiratory conditions.
They Can Carry Parasites
- Cockroaches can carry the eggs of parasites
- Cockroaches have been known to carry parasites such as roundworm, hookworm, and pinworm.
They Can Contaminate Food
- Cockroaches can contaminate food when they leave feces and other secretions.
- Remember, cockroaches are not only attracted to our food, but also eat pet food, garbage, feces, dead plants and animals, and other gross things.

FLY MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
Flies are usually scavengers in nature and many are capable of transmitting diseases to man. Several
kinds of non-biting flies can be found in and around farms, residences, and food-handling establishments;
it is worldwide in distribution and is a pest in homes, barns, and poultry houses, food processing plants, dairies, and recreation areas. In this service conventional spraying methods are to be used.
FLIES
Flies are a serious nuisance and pose a threat to humans, pets and livestock. They are able to transmit diseases through their foul feeding and
breeding habits. they will walk over food sources and rotting
matter indiscriminately, picking up and spreading bacteria. Practically all species of flies feed by vomiting saliva on to the food surface, treading it in and sucking up the resulting liquid. In the course of doing so,
the fly contaminates the food with bacteria from its gut and its feet. Thus, it can transmit more than 100
different pathogens, which can result in food poisoning, dysentery, typhoid or cholera.
FLIES ARE FOUND IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD EXCEPT THE POLAR ICE CAPS
There are over 120,000 different species of flies found worldwide. When a small fly problem is left, it can turn into a serious infestation very quickly with some species able to mature from egg to adult in as little
as 7 days. Flies are most active from late spring until early autumn with females laying eggs which will
generally hatch in under 24 hours.
Life expectancy for flies range from 8 days to 2 months and up to a year in some cases. They can be found
in every part of the world except the polar ice caps. Control of flies, species dependant, can be gained with
the use of electric fly control units, pheromone lures or residual insecticide treatments, all of which can
be an effective treatment course.
House Fly Control Service
If you suspect a house fly infestation in your home, contact 24×7 Pest Management Services to conduct an
inspection, specifically looking for any places where house fly eggs may have been deposited. Since house
flies enter from outside, internal breeding sites are not common. If the breeding site is not thoroughly
cleaned or removed, these pests will continue to be a problem.
24×7 Pest Management Services offers an effective plan for flies control services. This plan has been
designed for controlling the number of house flies that are seen. The pest control company uses chemical
applications for flies control during the peak season.
BED BUGS MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
Bed Bugs are blood-sucking insects in the family coincide. Both nympth and adults feed on humans
mostly at night, a time when it is difficult to detect their stealthy habits. They detect human by carbon
dioxide that we emit. Oil based chemical Spray use to control bed bugs.
BED BUGS
Bedbugs are insects that feed on live animals and human bodies. They can be found anywhere, whether a
home or a hotel. Bed bugs cannot fly, but they can move anywhere undetected due to their tiny size. They
also get transported from other places to your home due to their flat bodies which hardly would
require any space to fit themselves in. Female bedbugs are known to lay hundreds of eggs during their lifetime. Each of these eggs is the size of a
small dust particle and cannot be seen easily with a naked eye. Owing to their small size, it is very much
necessary to correctly detect whether your house is infested with bedbugs or not. Based on the level of
infestation, the further treatments to get rid of bedbugs can be decided.
Signs That You Have Bed Bugs
Before you can get rid of bed bugs, you will need to determine first if you have a bed bug infestation on
your hands. The problem with these tiny insects is that they are hard to spot. However, there is tell-tale
signs that can help you identify whether bed bugs are living in your mattress.
- Rusty or red stains – If you see red or rusty-colored stains on your mattress or bedding, it’s most likely dried blood from these bugs.
- Egg shells – Egg shells are not that easy to spot because they tend to be small and are lighter in color, but keep an eye out for tiny specks of white or ivory on your bed, carpet, or even your furniture as these are egg shells of bed bugs.
- Black dots – If you spot tiny dark stains or black dots on your bed or mattress, these may be fecal matter, as well as the skin of younger bugs when they shed.
- Living bed bugs – Although these insects are tiny, they can grow bigger and more visible after they have fed. If you spot them on your furniture or your bed, you will need to take steps to kill bed bugs immediately.
When Bedbugs Bite
Bedbugs are active mainly at night and usually bite people while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing the
skin and withdrawing blood through an elongated beak. The bugs feed from three to 10 minutes to become
engorged and then crawl away unnoticed.
Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts. Unlike flea bites that are mainly around
the ankles, bedbug bites are on any area of skin exposed while sleeping. Also, the bites do not have a red spot
in the center like flea bites do.
People who don't realize they have a bedbug infestation may attribute the itching and welts to other causes,
such as mosquitoes. To confirm bedbug bites, you must find and identify the bugs themselves.
TREATMENT FOR WOOD BORER:
Wood-borers hidden within the plywood or any wooden furniture. we ensure that the wood borers are
completely removed from the house. Oil based chemical spraying methodology offered by us not only
kills the woodborers but also removes their eggs and larvae.
Wood Borer Control
Wood borers are wood-destroying insects that attack and destroy structural integrity of your furniture
and wooden assets. All homes and businesses made of natural wood are at the risk of wood borers’ infestation. This will create holes and cracks on your wooden structure.
- The larvae of the wood borer are as small as a dot, they are almost invisible to the eyes. They enter the wood and lives inside it eating the wood from within. After staying inside the wood and eating it away for around 2–3 years the adult borer tries to come out of the
- It exits the furniture or structure as an adult beetle through a round hole measuring not more than 1–2mm in diameter. Cutting out this trapdoor is their final wood-destroying act. They come out only to breed, once they are out on the surface they have a life of not more than 3–4 weeks.
- Adult wood bearer beetles lay their eggs in cracks found in wooden furniture or wood used in the construction of the property. When the eggs hatch, the larvae slips into the wood through a very small hole and start feeding inside the wood. During the process of infestation over a period of 2 to 3 years, they build a maze of tunnels in the wood.
- If this wood borer infestation is not treated at the right time, the timbers in the building structure building will start weakening and can result in grave dangers of structural failure.
- Most of the Indian houses have furniture made of wood or composites of wood. Hence they are at high risk from wood-boring insect infestation.
Control Method
As part of the treatment for wood-boring insects, our specially trained technician injects the affected area
with an insecticide which helps in reducing the wood borer infestation in the wood.
Special syringes are used for injecting Wood Preservative chemicals into the holes created by the wood borers. The chemicals help in controlling the damage caused to the wood by wood borer infestation. Further damage to the furniture can be avoided by spraying the furniture with petroleum-based chemicals.

Weed Control
The best way to keep weeds from establishing in your lawn is to build a strong turf using proper cultural
methods. A healthy turf will help crowd out weeds and will be able to better tolerate weather and pest
related stresses than weak turf.
Proper fertilization, watering, mowing, and control of pests are required to produce a dense turf that will
prevent weeds. If your lawn is over-or under-watered, over-or under-fertilized, or mowed too low or too
infrequently, the turf is weakened and cannot compete with weeds.
It is important to understand that weeds don’t create a void, they fill a void.

Spider Management Services:
Many people worry about having a spider infestation in their home because they’re scared of these pests. While that can be reason enough to act, there are additional concerns about having spiders nearby.
Spider bites do happen, and while most spiders are harmless, others can be quite dangerous. For example, the bites of black widows and brown recluse spiders can cause serious harm depending on the
size and health of the person bitten.
Health concerns aside, a spider infestation can also be a sign of a broader pest problem. Spiders aren’t too
specific when it comes to the pests they devour, so if they’re invading your property, it may be because
they anticipate a good meal.

SILVERFISH MANAGEMENT
Silverfish feed on carbohydrates and are known for their destructive habits. They will cause serious
problems in large numbers as they damage plaster walls, books, paintings, photographs and household
items that contain starch or cellulose.
The Silverfish is a nocturnal creature and moves extremely quickly, meaning that an infestation can go
unnoticed for months.
Silverfish are teardrop shaped and can be identified by their tiny scales which are silver-blue in colour. Their wiggling motions are similar to a fish. They have two antennae and are wingless, with an adult
measuring up to 20 mm in length.
Silverfish thrive in conditions with high humidity and will be found in dark, damp areas, but can survive
in most environments. Reproduction is very regular as Silverfish lay their eggs daily, with some species
able to lay up to 20 at a time. There is very little change in size as Silverfish grow from egg to adult
however; the newly hatched are whiter in color.

While we usually provide monthly or quarterly pest control services, we’ll determine the right frequency for you based on the nature of your property and the severity of your silverfish problem.

Ants Management Services:
Are Ants Harmful to Your Home?
The danger of the infestation depends on the type of invading ant.
While they don’t cause property damage, odorous house ants (a.k.a sugar ants) love to feast on sugary treats and find their way into food stores, ruining the food they find. Plus, they can leave your home feeling dirty as they march around your kitchen with the rest of the colony.

At first glance, an ant infestation may seem merely irritating. Left untreated, however, an infestation can
cause significant damage to your home.
Another common type of ant is the carpenter ant. This ant, however, can cause serious damage. In fact, they can be just as damaging as termites. As carpenter ants make their way through wood and foam
insulation in your walls, they’ll begin feasting. The resulting structural damage can be difficult to repair
and may also be a sign that your home has moisture problems.
While some ants are mild mannered, others are far from being the friendliest of creatures when you get
in their way. Some bite and nip at the skin, causing pain, itchiness, or rashes.
Signs of Ant Infestations
Unlike many pest infestations, ant invasions are quite easy to identify. Some of the main signs to look for
include:
- Ants in food.This is more likely to happen when you don’t seal food properly or when you leave food out.
- A colony on the move. Ants often march in lines and rarely move in isolation. If you’re seeing lines of them marching to and from your home, you may have an infestation.
- Rustling in walls. If you hear a weird rustle when it’s quiet, you could be dealing with carpenter ants. Act fast, as these ants can cause significant damage. Another sign of carpenter ants is the sudden appearance of wood shavings.
- Ant nests in gardens or lawns. Ant nests look like small mounds of dirt, but on closer inspection, you’ll see ants moving in and out of a small circular opening.
How to Get Rid of Ants
Most ant colonies are incredibly resilient to ant control methods that you buy from your local store. We
recommend contacting pest control professionals, but if you’re in a tight spot, try these stopgaps:
1. If you spot ants moving to or from your property, disrupt their pheromone trail using a different
scent. When ants lay a trail, they’re leaving pheromones behind for other members of the ant colony
to follow. You can disrupt the pheromones by wiping the trail using an ammonia-based cleaner
2. After disrupting the trail, you can start tackling the ants. To do this, either use an all-purpose cleaner, a specific ant spray, or apple cider vinegar. Spray the ants you see liberally and wipe them away. Make sure you dispose of the cloth you use for wiping.
3. After wiping up the ants, it’s likely that other members of the colony are still nearby. You can buy a few commercial ant traps and place them in areas where you were seeing the ants.

To prevent ants from invading your home, be sure to implement these best practices:
- Always seal food properly and don’t leave leftovers out for too long. Food acts as a beacon for ants—especially sugary foods.
- Clean food spills quickly and thoroughly.
- Seal entry points in your home. This includes any gaps near windows, doors, and pipes.
