What Are Pests ?

Pests are small creatures which can make our life hell. Pest have a large family of different types of species. Cockroaches, Spiders, Crickets, Ants, Moths, Rats and Rodents, Mosquitoes, etc come under the category of pests.We can find them anywhere under the sink, debris, plants (artificial & natural), cupboards, kitchen shelves and and hide outs.

Damages Done by Pests

These pests not only damages our properties but also lead to many epidemics. With them they carry many harmful bacteria and germs which causes irritation, allergies, and many other health related problems. 60% of any nation’s food stock get destroyed by these pests which indirectly causes many unbearable problems. Economically they do us a lot of damage and socially also they give us embarrassment.

Pest Control: Four Seasons Approach

Spring

Spring is the time when insects strive to increase their populations so PESTAID is focused on material application that reduces reproduction. The treatment focuses on the exterior of the structure where insects live and breed, plus entry points into the living space. The technician takes a proactive posture against insect invasion by using a material that works to eliminate the colony and establishes long-term protection to stop the insect invasion.

  • Remove spider webs
  • Apply dust treatment to exterior entry points including utility boxes and attic access points
  • Treat exterior hot spots, potential harborage sites and food sources
  • Power treat along foundation and in landscape features
  • Place granular bait for ant larvae and workers, crickets and roaches

Apply granular ant bait to suppress ant reproduction

Summer

Increased insect populations eat voraciously during the summer. Why do we see more of them in the summer? Because insects can move faster during the summer, they are less afraid of predators which are more likely to be seen. It’s the right time to treat the landscape and harborage areas where insects live. PESTAID meets “speed with speed” by using fast-acting products during the summer.

  • Remove spider webs and apply repellent
  • Treat exterior entry points and hot spots
  • Power treat along paved surfaces and landscape features including walkways
  • Spread granules in thick grass, mulch, rock beds, decorative bark and similar areas
  • Apply granular baits to minimize insect reproduction
fall

Fall

Young insects are maturing and all pests are building up their reserves for the winter and are actively seeking harborage. Because they are slowing down, insects are more vulnerable to predation. Your home is a desirable insect retreat. To repel them, the technician establishes a barrier around the home by applying materials in pathways that insects will use to access the structure and caulking small insect entry points such as those found around window frames and utility entry points.

  • Remove spider webs
  • Apply dust treatment to exterior entry points including utility boxes and attic access points
  • Treat exterior hot spots, potential harborage sites and food sources
  • Caulk cracks and crevices where insects may gain entry in winter
  • Spread granules in thick grass, mulch, rock beds, decorative bark and similar areas
  • Place rodent monitoring stations (as needed)
winter

Winter

During the winter, insects hide and reserve energy so that they can increase their chances of surviving until Spring. Because your home is an ideal insect retreat, the technician’s focus is on eradicating insects that are taking refuge inside the home. PESTAID establishes a long-term approach by using naturally occurring products to protect the interior of the home against insect invasion throughout the year.

  • Wipe webs inside
  • Apply material inside cracks and crevices, including baseboards and wall plates
  • Perform dust treatment in attic and crawl spaces
  • Place ant and roach bait stations under kitchen and bathroom sinks
  • Place insect monitoring stations in critical areas

Apply material outside around doors, windows and eaves
