Rodent
Rodents are very clever mammals. They can quickly learn to avoid poisoned baits,which makes very difficult to control. Their breeding rate is also high as one pair can multiply number of times in one calendar year. They infest, destroy and contaminate more than they can eat because of their continued gnawing habit.Rats and mice consume food around the house and contaminate it, they damage containers and packaging in warehouse, also damage wiring and buildings by gnawing, nest building and urination. They are extremely hazardous to your family health and business. They spread parasites and disease to animals and humans. They cause severe diseases such as rat bite fever, Leptospirosis, Plague, Trichinosis, Salmonellosis and also food poisoning.
Ants
Ants cause problems mostly when they forage in buildings for food or water, or when they construct nests in buildings and gardens. When ants search for food, they can be attracted to a wide range of products, with different species preferring sweets, meats, fats or oils. They will also search indoors for water during dry periods. When desirable items are found many species will recruit fellow nest mates to help gather the food and return it to the nest. This can result in large numbers of ants appearing over a short period of time. Insects that infest the buildings, ants are the most common. There are many different species of ant. Each is unique in terms of nesting sites, habits, characteristics and feeding preferences. Ants leave an invisible chemical trail which contains pheromones for others to follow once they locate the food source.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are most active during the hours of sunset and sunrise. Mosquitoes are attracted towards carbon dioxide, body heat and body ordor.Mosquito can sense body heat and carbon dioxide from long distance. The receptors present on mosquito antenna help them to find their food source.The more you sweat the more you attract mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes typically look for animal and human blood to aid in egg production.They often lay eggs in stagnant water.Manmade sources include birdbaths, buckets and even mud puddles. Mosquitos are a major risk to public health and are responsible for the spread of many deadly diseases such as Malaria, Dengue fever, Chikungunya,and more recenlty Zika virus.
