Pest Controller FAQs

Is landlord responsible for pest control?

It’s usually a big disagreement between tenants and landlords when determining who is responsible for pest control when a property is infested by bugs or other pests. Now it’s part of your responsibility as a landlord to make sure that the pests are prevented from infiltrating the property, however this responsibility is shared by the tenants in some aspects as well. So, how exactly do you determine who needs to resolve this problem and also who is financially responsible for it?

Generally, pest issues are one that has to be handled with immediate effect in order to prevent then from growing out of control into bigger issues. It may not seem like a big deal when see a single bug or cockroach, but the fact remains that just a single bug is an indicator of a much greater problem that’s looming. So, who is responsible for pest control? Let’s take a look!

Most often than not, the landlord is usually responsible for the basic pest control at a property. Now whether basic pest control implies making sure that the property is safe from common local pests to ensuring the property is adequately and regularly treated against pests, these activities are usually within the scope of the landlord’s responsibilities. Therefore, as a landlord, you must do all in your capacity to ensure your building is protected from pests and reaching out to an exterminator or other pest control companies whenever the need arises should be done without any form of delay. You may be tempted to research if the tenant is responsible, however to prevent bigger issues the pest needs to be controlled quickly without regard for who is responsible for the financial aspect of the treatment.

What’s the best way to deal with pests?

It’s usually best to use some kind of preventative pest control as well as reactive measures. Pest control professionals will be able to advise you on the best kinds of preventative measures to take. However, if you are unfortunate enough to experience large numbers of pests, then you need to contact a pest controller straight away.

how large can a Wasp Nest be?
At first, a wasp nest will start off very tiny, around the dimension of a golf ball or a walnut, when the Queen wasp starts to develop a nest in the springtime. Throughout the summer season the nest will grow as the number of wasps rises. The nest can expand to the dimension of a football or larger. It is best to deal with a wasp nest previously in the year before numbers boost as well as the wasps become much more aggressive in late Summer season.
how to get rid of wasp nest?

When it comes to getting rid of a wasp nest, it’s crucial to have it at the back of your mind that safety is first priority. And as a result, the best way to remove a wasp nest would be to rely on professional expertise and professional safety equipment. This way, you won’t have to worry about getting stung or causing series of damages to your property. It’s possible to do this by yourself, but it’s, however, not recommended due to the amount of risk that’s involved and an average home or property owner will not be aware of the steps as well as precautions to be taken before starting the removal process.

 

With that in mind, there are some steps you can take to remove wasp nest on your property by yourself. In this post, we’re going to walk you through these steps in order give you some idea of it works. Let’s take a look!

  • Burning the warp nest. Using fire to get rid of wasp nest is a very dangerous approach and often not very effective to eradicate the wasps. Wasps nest are made from a thin papery substance produced by chewing wood into pulp and as a result, making it highly inflammation. Therefore, you run the risk of not only burning yourself, but also making your property catch fire.
  • Water. Other home owners prefer to flood the wasp nests with water, but this isn’t also totally effective. Depending on the wasp nest’s location, you run the risk of damaging your property and it won’t get rid of all wasps in the hive either.

 

Overall, the best approach is by getting in touch with a pest control professional who possesses the safety equipments, expert knowledge, specialized products as well as experience when it comes working in small spaces.

What does a wasp look like?

Wasps have a black as well as vivid yellow pattern on their abdomen. With a black head, thorax as well as six legs, a grown-up wasp is similar in dimension to an employee honey bee at about 12-15mm in size whereas queens are larger at around 20mm in size.

Are DIY Flea treatments effective?

Not always is the answer, unfortunately many of the products sold for household use by untrained professionals may not get rid of all the fleas in your home. If some fleas are left they will reproduce and you will end up with a flea infestation again.

Will the pest control treatments be safe for my family or pets?

A pest control professional will always make sure that the treatment they apply is safe for people, pets and the surrounding environment. However, in rare cases and with serious pest infestations, you may need to leave your home for a short period of time.
