Top 5 Most Commonly Hated Household Pests

We all know pests are annoying menace because of its creepy nature, harmful risks they are imposing on us, the fruitful-less attempts to remove them and the common frustration faced among home owners – cost and investment pumped in because of recurring problem. Let’s recap why are these pests commonly detested by us.

Cockroaches are filthy disgusting pests that make us sick

We associate and relate cockroaches with food contamination and poisoning instantly, and will link the cleanliness of the home with any presence of cockroach seen. Because of its gliding nature from the top to bottom surfaces, they are easily mistaken for ability to fly, that makes smacking of these pests much more challenging.

Warning: Cockroaches love what we cook and eat home. A huge cook out at home actually stains the kitchen walls with grease and oil. These attract cockroaches as they feed on anything even on these grease and oil stains!

Lizards are not harmful, but its slimy nature irks people

Lizards are actually “Organic Pest Controllers”. They feed on flying insects like flies and mosquitoes. Their croaking sounds at night simply irritates us, but more importantly, it is an indication that a lizard is somewhere around us!

Warning: Lizard tails may drop off during the process of eradicating them by DIY means! Save the hassle and help your family members who are so afraid of lizards by getting proper lizard control.

Bed bugs is a home, life and mental disruptor

How many times we have heard stories and negative encounters of bed bugs from friends and colleagues. Nightmares such as replacing costly home furnishings such as bedsheets, mattresses, furniture and curtains; spending on varying solutions and treatments that are still unable to control the situation.

Warning: Bed bugs mate, breed and multiply within the home. And they can survive in cold temperatures, excellent in hiding and only come out at night. Reduce your stress, any further unnecessary expenses or rounds of replacements by resolving your Bed Bug horror through a fast response bed bug program with warranty.

We always get bitten by mosquitoes and diseases are deadly

We get frantic when we hear the next Dengue and Zika outbreak and spend more time looking for repellants, instead of solutions! While it helps to prevent ourselves from getting bitten by buying all sorts of repellant sprays or staying indoors, we are still exposing ourselves to mosquito risks.

Warning: Mosquitoes presence is not just an outdoor problem, due to its flying nature and all possible entry points to our home, indoors are not safe either. Protect your family safety by adopting integrated mosquito control, not forgetting the breeding sources as well.

Ants ambush us in long trial troops that scatter everywhere

Are you one of those who try to press down and kill any ants that come close to you? Only to realise pressing one after another, there is just too many ants to deal with. For some, who relies on short term DIY quick fixes, unfortunately that didn’t work as well, depending on the type of ant species, lifestyle habits and sanitation level in the home.

Warning: Some actions in fact make things worse! For instance, DIY sprays from off the shelve not necessary works for all pest problems, such as the Pharaoh Ants! Ants solution and prevention is just a call away. Who knows, you may be having termite issue instead of ants, as they are just too similar in outlook, habits and risks damages caused.

Common challenges faced in home pest eradication

Regardless which pests we loathe we are facing at home, be it ants, cockroaches and lizards, we face various struggles and challenging in eliminating them. Firstly, they are all capable of hiding well, especially along tight corners and spaces and any possible hideouts. Secondly, most natural and self-DIY pest remedies are not effective in pest eradication. Thirdly, regardless how much pest control efforts we spent, recurring pest activities seem to be common. Fourthly, pest population seems to be growing and spreading to other parts of the home. Finally, even clean homes are prone to pest infestation. Rather that risking the safety and figure out our own pest control solution, it is best to leave the hassle to the professionals.
