Welcome ! You will find all your queries related to pest control services, environment friendly options, downloadable e-books, guides and free preventive pest control tips here. We encourage all our visitors to ask as many questions as possible until they are able to decide whether they should go for pest control. Or wait until it is necessary. Or time to change to a better agency.

Before understanding pest control, we need to understand what are pests in easy common man language.

We are here mainly concerned with urban pests and not agricultural pests. These pests are such living organisms which causes disease, discomfort, damage, annoyance or just nuisance value. Therefore, the most common pests are cockroaches, termites, rats & mice,lizards, bed bugs, house flies etc.

Have you ever noticed whenever you fall sick and pay the doctor a visit, the first thing he does is send you to the pathology lab to be tested? So what exactly do they test for in a pathology lab? As the name suggests, they test your body fluids, cough, blood, saliva and so on for the presence of disease causing pathogens namely: bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa etc. Now the question that arises is where do these disease causing pathogens come from and how do they invade your body?

The truth is that of all of these pathogens – bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa etc. cannot even survive without the presence of a medium or carrier like pests. If you go to the page “disease caused by pests” you will realize that pests are mainly responsible for spread of these diseases.

So let us take a look at the circumstances which put us and our bodies at risk. To do this, all we have to do is take a look at our daily routine – from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night.

The first thing we do most mornings after waking up is look for a glass of water. What’s the guarantee that this glass has not been visited by cockroaches or rats? If your glass is left uncovered all night, it isn’t too far fetched to assume that mice used it to quench their thirst.

Then you settle down for a nice cup of tea or coffee, out of a recently washed cup, of course. There is a photograph which illustrates, cockroaches entering cups left out at night is a completely ordinary occurrence, and if you have the expectation that your household help or maid will have the foresight to disinfect the cup then you’re just imagining things.

Its breakfast time and you want to have toast. If by any unfortunate chance you did not keep the bread in a sealed box then consider the following images to be a chronicle of your own life.

In most houses, dishes left behind from last night are usually washed by the household help or maid during the following morning. So the dirty dishes that lay in the sink all night become the perfect venue for cockroaches and rats to have a giant feast. You can see evidence of the same in the following images.

Then you sit in your car and drive to office, maybe you drop your child off at school first. Ever noticed how if a car or taxi isn’t thoroughly and regularly cleaned, and if the driver uses the car as his place of sitting, eating and sleeping while he waits for you, then whenever you, your child or elderly members of your family sit in the car, you start sneezing? This is the work of dust mites.So again pest control comes into picture here. You can see in the picture, a man has started sneezing in the car just due to dust mites.
