A Comprehensive treatment against Cockroaches, Red/Black Ants and Silverfish

Cockroaches:

Cockroaches are the most dominant among all household pests found worldwide. They cause nuisance by their presence and act as carriers of serious disease-causing pathogens like Gastroenteritis and Cholera.

Cockroaches are nocturnal in habit and remain inactive during the daytime. They are omnivorous and feed on any vegetable/animal substance.

Most common species of cockroaches observed in India are:

• German Cockroaches: Adults measure 18–20mm in length. Commonly found in kitchens, hiding in cracks and crevices.
• American Cockroaches: Adults measure 35–40mm in length. Normally found in hot and humid places, especially manholes, bookbinding areas, and clothing material.
• Brown Banded Cockroaches: Smaller in size, about ½ inch in length. Habitat is similar to German cockroaches. Adults may fly when disturbed.
• Oriental Cockroaches: Often found in dark basements or cellars. Can climb garbage chutes, sewer, and water pipes to upper floors in high-rise buildings.

Ants:

Ants are social insects that live in colonies and are close relatives of bees and wasps. Workers go out in search of food, forming long trails that lead back to the nest.

Silverfish:

Silverfish are starch feeders that damage paper, fabrics, glues, and other organic materials. They may also damage silk and some synthetic fabrics but usually avoid woolen material.

Treatment Method:

We use gel bait, an odorless and non-messy herbal paste, so there is no need to vacate premises during or after the service. Results can be seen in 3–4 days.

Minute amounts of gel are applied in strategic but inconspicuous locations with the help of a syringe in cracks and crevices. The cockroaches get attracted to the gel, eat it, and die.

We also spray an odorless chemical in the entire area to control ants and spiders.

Recommendation:

It is advisable to get the General Disinfestation treatment done at regular intervals as crawling insects can always reinfest from surroundings.

The treatment involves spraying insecticide in every crack and crevice of the premises to reach hidden parts and kill all existing insects.

Bed Bugs:

Be-gon Pest Control has the professional experience to identify and treat bed bugs. Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown insects with oval-shaped bodies. They are sometimes mistaken for roaches or ticks. They cannot fly but move quickly over floors, walls, ceilings, and other surfaces.

Females lay about 5 eggs per day and up to 500 eggs in a lifetime.

Bed bugs prefer to hide close to where they feed, crawling several feet to obtain a blood meal. They can hide in:

• Mattresses and box springs
• Headboards and floor baseboards
• Chairs and sofas
• Nightstands and picture frames
• Switch plates and cracks/crevices

Initial infestations tend to be around beds but can spread throughout the room and even into adjacent rooms.

Be-gon Pest Control is one of Mumbai’s leading bed bug control companies. Bed bugs are often brought into homes via:

• Luggage and baggage
• Clothing
• Bedding materials
• Furniture

Treatment may need to be repeated within a fortnight to ensure complete eradication. Our method involves spraying insecticide, especially in mattress seams and other infested areas.

Bed Bug Reproduction:

After mating, each female lays 2–3 eggs a day on rough surfaces in hiding spots. Eggs hatch within 10 days, though this may take longer in cooler conditions.

Bed Bug Habitat:

Bed bugs feed on humans at night and seek shelter during the day in places such as:

• Under mattresses and floorboards
• Behind paintings, carpets, and skirtings
• Cracks and crevices in walls
• Bed frames, furniture, and behind loose wallpaper

Our Treatment for Bed Bugs:

• Thorough investigation of your living areas
• Treatment of carpets, bed frames, sofas, and other applicable areas
• Retreatment 10–14 days later, since bed bug eggs are impervious to chemicals

Ticks and Fleas Treatment

Ticks and fleas are tiny, blood-feeding pests that infest pets, homes, and outdoor areas. They cause itching, skin irritation, and can transmit serious diseases to humans and animals, often going unnoticed until infestations are severe.

Wall Worms Control

Wall worms, also known as wood-boring beetle larvae, infest wooden structures, furniture, and paneling. They bore holes into timber, weakening structures over time and causing severe damage if left untreated. Their presence often goes unnoticed until extensive damage has occurred.

Nature and Extent of Damage

Wall worms feed on cellulose in wood and other wooden materials, causing:

• Structural damage to beams, furniture, and wooden flooring
• Hollowed-out wood and weakened support structures
• Visible boreholes and fine powder (frass) around infested areas
• Long-term degradation of property value

Habitat of Wall Worms:

Wall worms prefer damp or untreated wooden surfaces and can be found in:

• Wooden beams and panels
• Furniture, cabinets, and cupboards
• Floorboards and doors

Dust Mites Control

Dust mites are microscopic pests that thrive in household dust. They are found in bedding, mattresses, carpets, upholstered furniture, and curtains. Although dust mites do not bite, their feces and body fragments can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.

Nature and Extent of Damages

Dust mites cause:

• Allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes
• Exacerbation of asthma and respiratory problems
• Skin irritations and rashes
• Contamination of bedding, carpets, and furniture over time

Rodent Control

Generally, rodents are described as commensal, field, urban, domestic, and wild based on their relationship with humans. They belong to class Mammalia, order Rodentia, and family Muridae.

Rodents are very sensitive to light, smell, and noise. They have a remarkable capacity to adjust to environmental conditions and search for food any time of the day or night. Rats prefer to run next to walls or along runways.

Rodents not only feed on grains but contaminate 20 times more than they consume with urine, hair, feces, and sometimes even dead bodies. The estimated food grain loss by rodents in India ranges from 2–4 million tons to 26 million tons per year.

Nature and Extent of Damages

Rodent damage is both quantitative and qualitative, causing extensive losses globally, worth millions of dollars per year. The damage can be broadly categorized as:

• Food losses – storage & field
• Damage to articles of daily use
• Damage to structures and installations
• Public health hazards

Rodent – Chemical Control:

The use of chemical compounds to control rodents is becoming increasingly popular. Methods include:

• Fumigants
• Tracking powders
• Poisons (Rodenticides)
• Chemosterilants
• Repellents and attractants

Poisons used for killing rodents (Rodenticides) must be handled carefully to avoid hazards to other animals.

Chemical Control Methods Include:

• Burrow fumigation (places of breeding & hibernation)
• Poison baiting (external and internal)

For those tired of ineffective DIY methods, Be-gon Pest Control offers professional, effective, and technically sound rodent control services.

Rodents are a potential health risk, contaminating living areas with urine and droppings. They can easily climb pipes and cables, entering structures, and damaging office cables, disrupting work.

Both rats and mice need control. Our rodent control service includes:

• Mechanical or Glue Rodent Traps: Suitable for households. Treatment includes placing mechanical traps and sticky or glue traps.
• Rodent Bait Stations: An important part of chemical and mechanical control. A rectangular metal box holds rodent bait or glue traps for effective control.
