Fast facts on bed bugs
- Bed bugs are small wingless insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals.
- As humans, we are ideal hosts for bed bugs.
- Bed bugs are so called because of their preferred habitat in human homes: sofas, bed mattresses, etc.
- Most bed bugs feed on their hosts while they are asleep.
- The peak time for feeding is about one hour before sunrise.
- Feeding takes about five minutes, after which the bug returns to its hiding place.
- A female bed bug lays approximately 5 eggs in one day and about 500 during her lifetime.

Controlling an infestation
Since they can hide in so many places, they are not easy to eradicate. Unless you have a lot of time at your disposal, and limitless patience, it is advisable to get a professional in pest control. Experts know where to look for them, as well as how to get rid of them.
You can help the pest control professional by removing excess clutter from your house. If your stuff is strewn about rooms the bed bugs will have many extra places to hide, making inspection and eradication that much more difficult.
Some pest control companies may ask you to move furniture away from walls, and mattresses and box springs stood on edge before they come in, while it’s much better for everything to be left where it is so that they can check before moving them themselves.
Cockroach Prevention
Preventive measures are the key to successful control. It is easier to prevent a cockroach invasion than to control an established population. The success of preventive measures requires care, Planning and sustained the effort.
- Cockroach Control Dubai
- Proper sanitation, both indoors and outdoors, effectively limits cockroach populations.
- Do not leave unwashed dishes, kitchen utensils, and uncovered food out overnight.
- Clean up all spilled liquids.
- Areas beneath and behind cabinets, furniture, sinks, stoves and refrigerators should be cleaned often, as should cupboards, pantry shelves and storage bins where particles of food frequently accumulate.


How to prepare for your pest control treatment
- Clean the home prior to the pest control visit, and maintain the home as neatly as possible for long-term results. This helps to eliminate competing food sources for the insects. Additionally, when the home is clean, the roaches will be more easily attracted to the bait and not to food sources.
- Cover and store any open food. Remove foods, small appliances, and other small items from countertops.
- Store and/or cover baby toys, supplies and crib if any
- Be sure that the pest control operator has free and full access to anywhere that cockroaches have been seen
Identification
Ants classified as pests include the pavement ant, yellow crazy ant, sugar ants, the Pharaoh ant, carpenter ants, Argentine ant, odorous house ants, red imported fire ant and European fire ant.
Ant populations are controlled using insecticide baits. The bait is taken by the ants as food and brought back to the nest where the poison is inadvertently spread to the entire colony.


Types Of Ants
- Argentine Ants
- Caribbean Crazy Ants
- Carpenter Ants
- Odorous House Ants
- Pavement Ants
- Red Imported Fire Ants
- Ghost Ants
Mouse Control
House mice thrive under a variety of conditions; they are found in and around homes and commercial structures as well as in open fields and on agricultural land. House mice consume and contaminate food meant for humans, pets, livestock, or other animals. In addition, they cause considerable damage to structures and property, and they can transmit pathogens that cause diseases such as salmonellosis, a form of food poisoning.
Because mice can survive in very small areas with limited amounts of food and shelter, controlling them can be very challenging, especially in and around older structures. Most buildings in which food is stored, handled, or used will support house mice if the mice aren’t excluded, no matter how good the sanitation. While good sanitation seldom will completely control mice, poor sanitation is sure to attract them and will permit them to thrive in greater numbers. Pay particular attention to eliminating places where mice can find shelter. If they have few places to hide, rest, build nests, or rear their young, they can’t survive in large numbers.


Mice Traps
Trapping is an effective method for controlling small numbers of house mice. Although time-consuming, it’s the preferred method in homes, garages, and other structures where only a few mice are present. Trapping has several advantages as it doesn’t rely on potentially hazardous rodenticides, it permits the user to view his or her success, and it allows for disposing of trapped mice, thereby eliminating dead mouse odors that may result when poisoning is done within the building
Diseases by Mosquitoes:
Mosquitoes also carry diseases like as:
- Zika virus
- yellow fever
- encephalitis
- Malaria
- Dengue virus
These all above viruses are fatal and deadly. Dengue virus spread rapidly and cause big loss of many human lives. These above are the viruses; if people don’t care and don’t arrange the measures for elimination of this problem they can bear a big loss.


Mosquito Control in UAE
Mosquitos also find across Dubai , Sharjah, Ajman and northern emirates . Mosquitoes are small flying insects that bite the humans /Animal suck the blood and become a cause of several diseases, when they bite, people feel itchy and they can see little bumps on their skin. Mosquitoes find in all over the world and there are many species of Mosquitoes in thousands, Mosquitoes produce in still water or slow moving water mostly. A female mosquito can give 100 to 500 eggs directly of even on the surface of water.
Termite Control
Subterranean termites are most commonly found across the UAE and they are sometimes called “White Ants” due to some similarities. They are a highly destructive timber pest, causing major structural timber damage to domestic/commercial buildings all over the country.
Subterranean termites are small in size (about half the size of match-head – 4-11 mm) and soft-bodied insects. They build a central colony nest from which they construct underground tunnels that radiate within a 90-meter radius from a central colony nest in search of a timber (cellulose) food source.
Authorities in the UAE made it obligatory to have a Pre-Construction Termite Treatment prior to construction of any commercial or residential property, which works as a great prevention method.
But in case of termite infestation, a Post-Construction termite treatment will be a need, which includes drilling around the premises and injecting pesticides inside the drilled holes to form an anti-termite barrier around the premises.


Pre-construction Anti Termite Treatment
Treating termite before construction can help you defend against possible claims in the future. Construction specification for several projects demands the protection for termite in their finishing’s and several others request termite free environment.
Termite treatment in pre-construction stages includes several procedures that must be done to ensure an area of termite-free construction. Treating the soil before any slab placement with insecticides is the most common method of termite treatment. This will form a chemical anti termite barrier between ground slab and masonry that will prevent the insects to approach the building.
