Pest control
Pest control
Hello all,
I am getting a serious pest control issue in my condo they do fogging and the surroundings are really clean and our house is pretty clean.
We are getting really tiny creeping cockroach babies and even huge flying cockroaches like moths.
What can I do? Can someone suggest a good pest control agency?
Maybe one that has a yearly contract with follow up treatments if they come back?
How much does it cost any idea?

There are a number of pest control companies on my links page below. Third column near the bottom of the page. Give them a call.

Re: Pest control
Well, fogging is a very common way of controlling pest, what you have to do is to close all your windows, doors (cover the bottom gap)and tape up the rubbish chute. Because once the pest control guys fog and "kill em".... the pest will run and some of them will get into your home.FaeLLe wrote:Hello all,

Re: Pest control
Ditto. I would strongly suggest you do the above during and after the fogging exercise. For all you know you may not need pest control services anymore.ev-disinfection wrote:Well, fogging is a very common way of controlling pest, what you have to do is to close all your windows, doors (cover the bottom gap)and tape up the rubbish chute.

For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the sheltered will never know.

Once my wife opened the damn windows and she saw a cockroach fly in.
Yesterday we had the windows closed and were watching TV in dim light and saw a huge flying thing which after putting lights on we saw was a evil cockroach.
I got a quote of 40 $ per treatment and 500$ for an annual contract.
Is this price comparable??

then my advice is to put up magnetic window screens to all your windows... I have seen them at some of my customers homes ..... very effective but looks quite expensive, but having a good peace of mind.... Priceless.
Hmmmmm.... SGD 40.00 a treatment.... and SGD 500 for a year?
unless they are doing 13 times in 12 months..... something is wrong.
And what are they gonna do to keep the bugs flying in?
Re: Pest control
Yea i think the cockroaches are evolving into some kind of moth / bird creatures....
Need to consider cockroach sprays and window screens I guess.. *mutter*

It's when you get these that you really have to start worrying as the screens aren't strong enough unless they are really young ones.....

Someone once told me that tropical roaches fly when it's mating season.
Otherwise, I suggest this as an excellent and yet fun form of pest control: Pest control
You're welcome.
