Tips When Hiring a Pest Control Company in Singapore

Admit it. Insects bug you (pun not intended). The mere sight of a flying cockroach would easily send you running as far as you can from the place where that roach is trying to dominate. But on second thought, it’s just a cockroach. You are waaayyy bigger than that creepy crawler (which also happens to be a flyer).

Apart from roaches, there are other types of insects that are possibly lurking and currently co-inhabiting your place. And mind you, they don’t just hang out in groups or 5. They often live in colony. Yes, they love to build their own community—right at your own home. So when you happen to spot a couple of ants roaming freely in your kitchen, it is highly possible that there are more of them somewhere. So open your eyes and follow the ant trail.

Aside from ants and cockroaches, there are other insects that might be living in the crevices of your home. It may seem an impossible feat, but it is possible for them to be exterminated! How? Follow these tips:

• Know your enemy

Here, we take on Sun Tzu’s teaching on the Art of War. To ensure success in any war (in our case, it’s the war against house pests), it is highly suggested to familiarize yourself with your enemy.

Know what type of pest/s are invading your territory. Research about their strengths and weaknesses. Find out what keeps them alive and how they thrive. Equipping yourself with those knowledge will put you on the offensive mode. It will enable you to properly formulate your line of defense and offense.

• Gather your troops

Take note that we are dealing here with a colony (community). It would be easier to exterminate your enemy if you also rally your troops. Since you’ve already done your research on your enemy, the next step is to look for the right allies. Pest control Singapore would be a lot easier if you seek the help of the professionals.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of pest control companies that you can call out there. In shortlisting on who to call, take note of the company’s specialization. For every kind of pest, there is an equivalent exterminator group.

• Make sure there’s no coming back

Pests are also living creatures. Just like us humans, they also need the basics in order to survive—those are food, shelter, and water. Depriving them of their basic needs will be very helpful in preventing them from coming back.

Even the best pest control in Singapore won’t guarantee long term success of their exterminating efforts if you do not work hand-in-hand with them. Make sure to do a regular house cleaning. Do not leave food unattended and make sure to clean up after you eat and dispose the morsels on the table (if there is any) so as not to attract them.
