Rodents have been sharing food and shelter with humans since the beginning of time. Perhaps more than any other pest, rodents signals unsanitary conditions. Rats consume or contaminate 20 percent of human food supplies annually, and carry more than 20 often-fatal diseases e.g. Plague, Murine typhus, Rickettsial pox, Salmonellousis (Acute food poisoning), Rat bite fever etc. TERMOPEST recommends prevention as the best course of stored- product pests like Grain Weevils, Indian meal months or saw-toothed and merchant grain weevils thrive on grain, bran, rice and flour. These hungry pests can cost a mill, bakery, food processing facility or restaurant thousands of Dinars in contaminated product. Even worse, they can jeopardize a company’s compliance with government regulations, potentially stopping operations altogether. One reason stored-product pests can causes so much damage is they contaminate much more than they eat, meaning even a small infestation can have a significant impact on final product output.

Some Spiders like moisture and are found in basements, crawl spaces and other damp parts of buildings. Others like dry, warm areas such as sub floor air vents, upper corners of rooms and attics.

Why put your reputation and the health of your customers and staff in danger?

Adult Bed Bug is about 3/16-inch long, reddish- to dark-brown, flat and oval-shaped, but becomes longer and plumper after feeding. Hides in cracks and crevices during the day, lives in mattresses, coils of springs, cracks and hollow posts of beds and upholstery. Most species prefer a human host. Females lay about two eggs per day, until approximately 200 have been laid. Hatch in 6 to 17 days. Adults can live a year or longer without feeding.

Fleas are ectoparasites. They are small, wingless, about 1/12 to 1/6 inch long. Covered in spines with piercing mouth parts. A parasite that attaches to a host. Eggs will hatch on the ground, in nests, carpet, bedding, upholstery or cracks in the floor. Most hatch within 7 to 14 days. Powerful legs enable them to jump 7 to 8 inches vertically, and 14 to 16 inches horizontally. Carrier of parasites and disease organisms to human and animal hosts. E.g. Plague.

Scorpions are active only when night time low temperatures exceed about 250 C. All scorpions spend the light hours under cover or in burrows. Scorpions are not aggressive toward non-prey, and only sting when handled or otherwise molested. The sting of some species of scorpion can be life threatening. If someone has been stung by a scorpion, contact a physician as soon as possible for advice and assistance. Scorpions grow slowly. Depending on the species, they may take 1 to 6 years to reach maturity. On average scorpions may live 3 to 5 years, but some species can live as long as 10 to 15 years.

It is difficult for some people to think of Birds as pests. But a bird problem can lead to lost business, contaminated products and expensive damage to building exteriors. Certain species of birds have become recognized public health threats because they are harbor disease organisms that can be transmitted to humans. E.g. Histoplasmosis, Ornithosis, Cryptococcosis, Encephalitis, Avian flu etc. Bird droppings are an added problem, signaling unsanitary conditions and eating away at building finishes. The droppings can also be expensive to clean up.
