Who would not want a pest-free and healthy home or workplace?  Everyone aspires to live and work in a nice, clean and comfortable environment. But how can we assure to have a place like that?  (Check out: Sydney’s Common pests)

In our daily lives, we often encounter different unwanted guests in our house, the usual thing to do for a homeowner is to buy an insecticide or traps and spray/trap these insects or rodents. This is only a temporary control measure to avoid these unwanted guests which we considered “pests” for a short period of time but as long as we have food on the table or food storage and some unused cabinets or furniture at home, expect that there will be pests living with us.

Pests are organisms that share habitats with humans and are capable of causing harm through the transmission of diseases, developing anxiety, and other sicknesses. In urban areas, common pests are birds (mites), insects (spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes, flies, fleas), and rodents (rats, mice). We heard so much news about pests which also cause severe accidents in different countries. Related: Pest Control For Shopping Centers

Last September according to 9News, there was a Frenchman, aged in his 80s, who has blown up part of his house while trying to kill a rogue fly. He was sitting in his home in Dordogne, Southwest France when he noticed a fly roaming around his place, he used an electric bug-killing racket to blow that fly then a leaking gas canister caused a reaction with the racket.

This caused an explosion and destroyed the Frenchman’s kitchen and collapsed part of the house ceiling. Luckily, he only got minor burns on his hand since he managed to escape from that explosion, and he did not know either if he was able to kill the pest. Also, in Melbourne, a woman bought a Highland Park Scotch Fillet Steak from Aldi, she was shocked to see a large cockroach crawling inside a sealed meat packet while preparing dinner on the following night.

“I was horrified. They are filthiest animals around, I would never buy meat there again”, she said disgustingly. This incident was a serious matter to Aldi Camberwell, as they need to apologize to the customer publicly, need to check with the supplier, conduct a thorough investigation on the complaint and send updates to the customer once done. This really affects the image of their store, as the news has already spread all over the country.     

These are some of the many incidents which are possible to happen to anyone. We may not know how pests can badly affect and damage our home, our family especially our children, our work or businesses, and our surroundings, if we continue to neglect the idea of how to manage and control pests properly.  Thus, we need to understand the value of pest control.  ( Read: Industrial Pest Control)
