TDC Pest Control Facts & Tips

Fact: The Africanized Honey Bee (also known as the ‘killer bee’) has been known to chase people for over a quarter of a mile once they get excited and aggressive.

Fact: Rats contaminate and destroy enough food worldwide each year to feed 200 million people.

Tip: Ladybirds have been classed as a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and affordable option of controlling pests as their diet mainly consists of plant pollen and pests.

Tip: Rodents and cockroaches love clutter, so to make sure that pests have nowhere to infest in your home, remove unnecessary items and old furniture. Regularly dusting and vacuuming is additionally important.

Cockroaches

There are two types of cockroaches that can be treated by the TDC Pest Control team, including German and oriental cockroaches.

• German cockroaches are light brown in colour with a winged base, and are approximately 1.5cm in length. These types of cockroaches are usually found in the warmer, moist environments, such as your kitchen or bathroom.

• Oriental cockroaches are smooth with a black coloured body. They have no wing base and measure at approximately 2.5cm. Oriental cockroaches can often be found in terraced housing, infecting entire blocks of properties as they move throughout the beams and rafters.

Signs you may have a cockroach infestation

There are numerous ways in which you can confirm if you are experiencing a cockroach infestation, as both the German and oriental cockroach differ slightly in appearance. German cockroaches can be found in warm, moist environments such as a bathroom or kitchen; in comparison, the oriental cockroach can often be seen moving throughout the beams and rafters in your household.

Cluster flies

Cluster flies pose no threat to humans, as unlike other flies, they do not lay their eggs on human food. However, these flies inhabit properties during the summer months in order to hibernate, ‘clustering’ together in large volumes to consequently become an irritant in the household. They have been known to emit a sickly sweet, almond smell in which can also be unpleasant in the home. Additionally, when these flies do reach hibernation in your home, if they are left untreated, they will tend to return to that property year after year.

How cluster flies are treated

The characteristic ball of flies has to be established for at least 7 days until it can be treated; only after this amount of time will the insecticide affect the entire fly population. The pest controller will ‘fog’ an insecticide upon the cluster of flies. Once all of the flies have been destroyed, the bodies can easily be removed and disposed of by using a vacuum cleaner.

Moths

Moths are butterfly-like insects which vary in colour and size. Small, dark headed maggot-like larvae may also be seen. Often feeding on fine, natural textiles such as cashmere and silk, moths have extremely good taste in quality materials and can ruin clothing if left untreated.

There are commonly two types of moth that may require pest control treatment:

• Clothes Moths – Clothes moths infest clothing and moths. They most frequently occur in knitwear such as wool, cashmere or angora, as well as other natural fabrics such as silk and leather garments. Clothes moths hold three different forms, from their tiny 5mm eggs, to the moth larvae growing as they develop. Once adult form, clothes moths are usually around 1.5mm long. Although easier to spot in flight, due to their size they are able to fit into tight crevices in your wardrobe.
• Cereal Moths – Cereal moths infest cereals and cereal-based products. These pests can be present but often go unnoticed until they become abundant.
