Insects are common in Pesco, and many species thrive in the rich environment in and around homes and businesses. For example, Pesco is home to several species of cockroaches, most prevalent of which are the American and German cockroach. Cockroaches invade homes and businesses through cracks in walls, doors, and floors, and they can hide in walls. The Singapore pest control experts at Pesco Pest state cockroaches are attracted to food left out, garbage, and warmth in the winter. These bugs contaminate food with droppings in almost every imaginable hiding place, from trash cans, drains to cereal boxes. In addition, bed bugs are common in Singapore, as they can be found in heavily populated areas such as train stations, hotels, movie theatres, and more. Bed bugs feed on human blood and can cause itchy welts and irritation. Bed bugs travel from place to place in clothing, backpacks, and other soft items and can lay dormant for months.
Determining if you have a bed bug infestation can be difficult, so the Singapore pest control experts at Pesco Pest Control recommend scheduling a free inspection with one of our certified pest professionals. Mosquitoes are also found in great numbers in Singapore. Breeding in standing water and generally prevalent in humid areas, mosquitoes can be a major annoyance. These pests also feed on blood and can swarm around people and pets, creating hundreds of itchy bites. At worst, they can carry serious diseases such as malaria or dengue fever. While these cases are rare in Singapore, it’s still important to keep mosquitoes under control. Singapore also plays host to a number of other flying and crawling insects like ants, bees, centipedes, crickets, stink bugs, termites, wasps, and more.
All of these insects can reproduce quickly and tend to seek warmth in the winter. These pests can invade your home or business, make nests, and create quite a nuisance if not controlled.
