So, how exactly do you determine who needs to resolve this problem and also who is financially responsible for it?

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.

how to get rid of rats in garden?

Being smart critters, a rodent infestation of a garden can cause the owner a lot of problems. Rats are pests bringing about a wide range of health hazards. They’ll camp in your compost, eat away your fruits and vegetables, gnaw through fences, containers and planters and even spread harmful diseases to humans. The wild rats can bite or even scratch when approached and will seek shelter anywhere possible like in your greenhouses, shed and even in your home. And worse still, they reproduce quickly as a female rat can give birth to six litters annually with up to 12 pups. Therefore, if left unattended to,an unwelcome visit can soon become an infestation in next to no time.

 

In order to get rid of rats, you can start by thinking like one. Like any other mammal, they need food, water and shelter to survive and thrive. Removing one or all these three things can effectively help you get rid of rats in your garden. Generally, there are several ways to get rid of rats which can be natural without the use of poison and artificial, with the use of poison.

 

If you wish to use the natural approach, you can try using peppermint oil or laying of traps. Rats are known to hate peppermint and it’s also alleged to mask their pheromone trails. Simply soak cotton wool balls in peppermint oil and position them strategically through out the garden. The second natural approach is more of a trial and error case as rats are always very suspicious and it’s possible your traps fail to catch any unless you’re very cunning with the placement.

 

The most effective method is, however, the use of poison to get rid of rats. Simply mix the poison with food in small quantities and place at strategic locations throughout your garden to get rid of the rats, However, this must be done with great care.

how to get rid of mice?

Apart from the films where you’d notice cute little mickeys running around the house, in reality, only a few (if any) would feel comfortable living in a mice infested property. Being smart critters, mice can cause a home owner a series of issues when they infest a home or property. Rats are pests bringing about a plethora of health hazards. They’ll live comfortably off your food and under your shelter while also wrecking havoc everywhere they set their foot on in your home and even spread harmful diseases to humans. The wild rats can bite or even scratch when approached and will seek shelter anywhere possible like in your attic, kitchen, store and any damp area you can imagine. And worse still, they reproduce quickly as a female rat can give birth to six litters annually with up to 12 pups. Therefore, if left unattended to,an unwelcome visit can soon become an infestation within a little time.

Simply dip a cotton wool inside a peppermint oil and place at strategic location throughout your home. Setting of traps can also be very trick as mice are very smart creatures who are always suspicious. So unless this is done in a cunning way, it might prove to be largely ineffective.

how to get rid of fleas in house?

More than being just a pesky nuisance, fleas are actually a risk to the health and overall wellbeing of your pets. As a result, when discovered in your personal space, there’s a need to do all in your capacity to ensure they’re totally eradicated. If you wish to learn an effective way to get rid of fleas, then you must go beyond simply learning a few tips on bathing your dog. This isn’t battle that can be won at once, it’ll take days or even weeks due to the life cycle, habits as well as abilities of the fleas. To get started, here’s what you need to know about getting rid of fleas in the house.

 

To get optimum results from a deep clean, there’s the need to take out  and wash all bedding including pet bedding. Also, take the pets out of the house and move the furnitures in order to fully expose all the hidden areas in the house. Once done, the next step would be to vacuum the space thoroughly ( using the beater bar style as recommended by the experts) and dispose off the vacuum bag or wash the waste container after vacuuming. Vacuuming does not only make the area clean and clear out the flea dirt, but the suction also forces larvae to come out of their insecticide-resistant cocoons quickly which goes a long way to simplify your work when you introduce the treatment.

 

The vacuum deep clean task should be repeated every other 10 days for about a month based on the severity of the flea infestation as well as the frequency at which you spot the fleas when cleaning. What’s more? The pet bedding should also be washed every week for about a month to prevent the re-infestation of the pesky bugs. It’s however important to note that if the problem is a serious one or you house infested is a heavily carpeted one, steam cleaning may be necessary once you’re done with the vacuuming.

How many eggs can a flea lay?
Females can lay up to 1000 eggs after feeding upon the poor pet. The complete life process takes over a month.
How are pests treated?

This will vary depending on the type of pest. For insects, an insecticide spray or powder will usually be applied to the area. For other pests such as rodents, poison and traps will generally be used. Birds and larger mammals are often caught and released back into the wild.

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.
