While we have been in the front line of creating awareness on ways to get rid of pests from homes and offices, we still get crazy ideas from some of our clients. Some of this misinformation evolved from our cultures, and others are ‘old wives' tales. Here are some myths we have gathered about pests and the truth behind them.
Both rats and mice don't cause any harm
For many of us, we believe that rodents such as rats and mice don't pose any serious risk to our lives. This idea is wrong! These unwanted guests are dangerous and can cause a multitude of problems for you and your family. They carry parasites, bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases for you and your loved ones. They also have sharp teeth which enable them to chew your home's electric cables thus subjecting your property to the risks of fire.
Bed bugs don't live in clean houses
Bed bugs can live anywhere, whether it's dirty or clean. From expensive hotel rooms to stylish homes, and classy cars. These pests are not attracted to dirt or garbage, but they are drawn to human blood. This means that they can follow you anywhere you go. However, it's essential to keep your home clean in order to limit the hideout spaces for bed bugs when treatment is being applied.
Pest control services aren't needed unless there's a terrible problem
We tend to think that pests will disappear on their own. This is one of the largest mistakes you can make. Sometimes we may see a cockroach or other pest in our home or office, and not take the incident seriously! However, even one or two pests can be a sign of invasion. Therefore, if you see any pests in your home, contact pest control ASAP.
My cat will chase away the rodents
If you believe that having a cat at home will keep mice and rats away, then you are wrong. These rodents know how to live with their predators, and they can survive in your home without being attacked by your furry friend. The only way to protect your home from mice and rats is to employ the right rodent management programme.
