Why do we need fumigation?  And where do we go wrong?

Let's start by defining what is fumigation. Fumigation is a method of pest control or the removal of harmful micro-organisms by filling an area with gaseous pesticides—or fumigants.

There are several reasons why general pest control is important. Here are some of the key reasons:

  • 1. Health and Safety: Pests such as rodents, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and ticks can carry and transmit various diseases to humans. These diseases can range from mild illnesses to more severe conditions, including salmonella, dengue fever, Lyme disease, and hantavirus. Regular pest control helps eliminate or reduce the presence of these disease-carrying pests, minimizing the risk of infections and keeping people safe and healthy.

  • 2. Property Damage: Pests can cause significant damage to structures, furniture, and belongings. For example, termites can silently eat away at the wooden structures of a building, leading to costly repairs. Rats and mice can chew through electrical wires, posing a fire hazard. Pest control measures help prevent or mitigate such damage, preserving the value and integrity of the property.

  • 3. Food Safety: Pests in food establishments or storage areas can contaminate food products, leading to foodborne illnesses. Restaurants, food processing plants, and grocery stores are particularly vulnerable to pest infestations. Regular pest control in these settings ensures that food is safe for consumption, reduces the risk of contamination, and maintains compliance with health and safety regulations.

  • 4. Allergies and Asthma: Some pests, such as cockroaches and dust mites, can trigger allergies and aggravate asthma symptoms. Their droppings, shed skins, and saliva can become airborne and cause respiratory issues, particularly in sensitive individuals. Controlling these pests helps create a healthier indoor environment, reducing allergic reactions and improving overall air quality.

  • 5. Prevention of Structural Damage: Certain pests, like carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles, can cause significant structural damage by burrowing through wood. Their activities weaken the structural integrity of buildings and can compromise the safety of occupants. Regular pest control helps identify and eliminate these pests before they cause extensive damage, saving on costly repairs in the long run.

  • 6. Peace of Mind: Living or working in an environment free of pests brings peace of mind. Pests can be unsettling, causing stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. By implementing pest control measures, individuals can feel more comfortable, knowing that their space is protected from unwanted intruders.

NB. It's important to note that the specific reasons for pest control may vary depending on the location, environment, and types of pests prevalent in a particular area. Consulting with a professional pest control service can help assess the specific needs and tailor a pest control plan accordingly.

What do friends say about fumigation?

“Night times are meant for good sleep, and rest. That's when we meditate about how the day was and how we shall accomplish the next day, it's not time to start asking our minds did I hear something crawling. When you put lights at night you wonder what has been happening cockroaches are running away- so yes fumigation is really important it gives one peace of mind” - James
”I hate itching at night, waking up with red marks of bites, the funny thing is you always think it's a mosquito but after some time you find it Bedbugs. These can be nightmares, as you never have enough sleep and always have scratches - yes fumigation is of benefit & can help from allergies” - Janet
” We always want our customers to have positive feedback on our pages. Complaints about the professionalism of staff can easily be managed but pest issues can be a crisis that can make you lose clients, reputation is at stake, and maintaining a good rate is a hustle. And fumigation  helps from losing money since any public health officer finds a weak link to be bribe - Fumigation cuts unnecessary costs” -Sylvester
