DISINFECTION

Cockroaches are probably the most annoying insect especially when found in areas close to food, as they are carriers of many diseases. Therefore, in case traces of them are identified, immediate measures should be taken in order to exterminate them first to grow uncontrollably.

Specifically, cockroaches are a source of multiple problems such as:

• Food spoilage
• Dissemination of pathogenic organisms
• Induction of allergic reactions

They are divided into 2 categories depending on how they are fought:

The common large cockroaches (Blattella america and orientalis) in which residual sprays are made in sewer wells, rain gutters and siphons, as well as perimeter spraying inside and outside the home or business.

The German cockroach (Blattella germanica), much smaller in size and lighter in color, which due to the morphology of the insect, two applications are made in 5-7 days between them, depending on the population that has developed.

In the first application, the intensity, the infestation are determined and the outbreaks that have been created are identified. Then the whole area is sprayed with focus on the points deemed necessary by the previous inspection.

The goal of the first phase is on the one hand the fight against the perfect insects that are active and on the other hand their exit from the hiding places that have been hidden.

In the second application, a specialized traction gel of long residual duration is used in critical points and in places where spraying with insecticidal preparation is not possible (e.g. inside food storage places, cutlery, etc.).

The purpose of the second phase is to feed the remaining insects and exploit their tendency for cannibalism (the healthy insect feeds on the gel-infected dead insect) and to fight the spawning and eggs of insects located in dark areas (e.g. walls, interior of frames, slits from surfaces covered with marble or tiles, inside electrical appliances, etc.).

Description

In general, although ants are considered harmless insects, it is better to stay in their natural environment and not inside our house.

Useful information that will help you understand their habits and prevent the development of their populations in your area is the following:

• They are attracted to water, sweets and food fats
• They can enter the house even from the smallest cracks
• They build nests almost anywhere (e.g. walls, logs, under foundations)
• They create colonies that reach from 300,000 to 500,000
• When they feel threatened they can transfer their colonies very quickly
• They release pheromones which attract other insects in the same direction
• Their lifespan can reach up to 15 years when it comes to queens and up to 7 for workers

Dealing

Fighting ants due to their habit of using electrical installations as a path, making nests in dark places inside homes, and due to the high and rapid growth rate they have as a society, make them quite difficult to deal with.

To combat ants, perimeter spraying is done indoors and outdoors and the use of food products is done either in the form of gels or with a coating or with bait sprays.

Description

Flea bites are extremely annoying and dangerous, as they cause intense itching and as insects are intermediate hosts for many parasites. Thus, they can contribute to the spread of epidemics. For flea protection, it would be good to do preventive cleaning of manure, dry branches or weeds in the area, as they lay their eggs in these dark and dusty places.

Dealing

To control fleas, two sprays are made in 5-7 days between them, depending on the populations that have developed and the intensity of the problem. Due to the morphology of the insect (several larval stages) the disinfestation is necessarily done with a combination of two drugs, an insecticide and a larvae killer.

Outdoors are sprayed universally on surfaces and floors, while indoors are sprayed perimeter on the floor and up to one meter on the walls. If deemed necessary, spray on fabric surfaces (eg mattresses, sofas, carpets, etc.).

Particular attention should be paid to the deworming of pets that may be present in the area or to the fight against rodents, as they are hosts of insects and contribute to the development and spread of infection.

Description

Bedbugs are small parasites that create problems in many homes, as they hide with great success in mattresses, bed frames, covers, furniture, carpets, etc. You can relatively easily check for bed bugs, as their feces leave black and brown stains on sheets and blankets.

They are very easily transported with luggage, to houses, hotels, rental accommodation, barracks and unfortunately the infestation appears long after the infection.

Dealing

To combat them, you first need to check at critical points where they tend to hide and lay their eggs (mattress seams, bed joints, boards, wall or masonry slits, sockets, etc.). Then you need two sprays with special insecticides in 5-7 days between them depending on the populations that have developed and the intensity of the problem.

During the disinfestation, perimeter spraying is done in all areas, spraying on fabric surfaces (mattresses, sofas, bed frames) and very good spraying in important areas that the inspection has shown. In sensitive areas such as mattresses or beds, a 100% ecological control can be used using a special hot air machine.

Our company is the only one in Crete and the Cyclades that has thermal disinfestation machines and can in just a few hours solve the problem ecologically and for sure.

The bed bug is a parasite that knows how to hide very well and we at NOVA Pest Control have specialized workshops that with a free inspection will analyze the ways and methods to get rid of this annoying and harmful parasite.

Description

Wood-eating insects are everywhere and often live in competition with humans. They eat furniture, destroy roofs, wooden structures and wooden floors. In other words, they often cause irreparable damage to many parts of the home.

Termites are quite similar to winged ants and can be distinguished into aboveground and underground. Both categories cause serious damage to the wooden areas of the house, as the damage starts from the inside of the wood and extends to the outside.

An early diagnosis of the problem will save you from major disasters and more expensive repairs of structures.

At NOVA Pest Control we have the experience and know-how to diagnose in time the place and size of the infestation, while at the same time with special preparations approved by the Ministry of Agriculture we offer a guaranteed result in their fight, in order to protect you from new infestations.

Woodworms are insects of different families, where due to them at a European level, damage is recorded mainly from 12 species, while in our country the main infestations are created by 3 of them. Characteristic of infestation by these insects are the holes that appear in the infested wood and in more advanced infestations the dust that we find as a result of their damage.

In any case, for the safe diagnosis and successful control of the worm infestation requires experience and knowledge in the morphology and habits of the insect.

Dealing

For the control of wood-eating insects, it is applied with special preparations after the creation of transverse incisions in the affected parts and pouring of the active substance inside using a syringe, application and spraying. For the moth in particular, the safest and 100% effective method is the fumigation with lighting (it can be done in the space).

After the disinfestation – remediation of the affected wooden surfaces, it would be good to make preventive residual sprays with a special insecticide preparation once or twice a year, in order to maintain the original one and to reduce the possibility of re-infestation.
