Do ants, termites, cockroaches, mice and other pesky pests disrupt your daily life? Are you having difficulty getting rid of them? If so, it may be time to contact a pest management company for pest control services. There are numerous reasons to consider pest control services, such as the fact that they reduce hazards, they are affordable and there are all kinds of specialised plans available. There are certain risks involved with treating infestations, due to the fact that the deadly Hantavirus is carried by mice. Before you get in touch with a reliable company, discover which type of pest control would best suit your circumstances.
Pest Types
When most people think of a pest infestation their mind will immediately go to cockroaches, spiders and termites. While these are common types of pests, an inspection is absolutely imperative because it enables the professional to determine a proper solution. Examples of pest types include:
- Algicides
- Biopesticides
- Herbicides
- Microbial pesticides
- Rodenticides
Pest control devices can be used to clear the home of the above types, among many others. However, in most cases the issue will be dealt with through the use of biopesticides or chemicals.
Chemical Pesticides
Perhaps the most effective way of ridding a property of pests and vermin is by using chemically-related pesticides. For pests with a nervous system, Organophosphate Pesticides will be used, because these pesticides target the nervous system and have an immediate effect on insects. Enzymes are disturbed through the use of Carbamate Pesticides and in previous years, Organochlorine Insecticides were a preferred choice, but their effect on the environment and health means that they are not as popular now as they once were. The final type of chemical pesticides you may consider when working with a respected company are Pyrethroid Pesticides, which prove toxic when they attack the nervous system.
Biopesticides
For a more natural approach that doesn’t have a big impact on the environment, choose biopesticides. Made with natural materials like bacteria, animals and plants, biopesticides are categorised into three classes. These are:
- Biochemical pesticides – Non-toxic mechanisms are used to manage pest infestations with biochemical pesticides.
- Microbial pesticides – The most widely used type, these pesticides can be used to kill many types of insect larvae.
- Plant-Incorporated-Protectants (PIPs) – These substances use their own genetic material to kill the pest and prevent further infestations from occurring.
