PEST CONTROL.pptx HOUSEKEEPING PEST CONTROL

Pest control is a programmed of eradicating pests. Pests are removed through pesticides; a pesticide is called a chemical used to control or eliminate pests. Insects are probably the larger pests many insects transmit diseases such as malaria and typhus some insects destroy or cause heavy damage to valuable vegetation.
Pest is an insect which affect human being, animal & food supply & also property. Pest can be divided into three groups:

Insecticides are used to control ants, flies, moths, cockroaches, and termites.
Herbicides are used to control weeds or other unwanted plants.
Fungicides are used to control fungi that are pathogenic or disease- causing.
Rodenticides are used to control rats and rodents.

BED BUGS: these are tiny parasitic creatures that feed on the blood of human and other animals. They are more of a nuisance than a danger, although they can cause severe irritation in some people, leading to loss of sleep and lack of energy particularly in children they hide in the crevices of beds, furniture, upholstery, wallpaper and skirting boards, emerging when hungry.

1. PEST CONTROL Pest control is a programmed of eradicating pests. Pests are removed through pesticides; a pesticide is called a chemical used to control or eliminate pests. Insects are probably the larger pests many insects transmit diseases such as malaria and typhus some insects destroy or cause heavy damage to valuable vegetation. Pest is an insect which affect human being, animal & food supply & also property. Pest can be divided into three groups:

2. TYPES OF PESTICIDES Insecticides are used to control ants, flies, moths, cockroaches, and termites. Herbicides are used to control weeds or other unwanted plants. Fungicides are used to control fungi that are pathogenic or disease- causing. Rodenticides are used to control rats and rodents.

4. Pest Control Goals

5. COMMON PESTS AND THEIR CONTROL MEASURES BED BUGS : these are tiny parasitic creatures that feed on the blood of human and other animals. They are more of a nuisance than a danger, although they can cause severe irritation in some people, leading to loss of sleep and lack of energy particularly in children they hide in the crevices of beds, furniture, upholstery, wallpaper and skirting boards, emerging when hungry .

6. Control Measures: Pouring boiling water into crevices is a temporary solution to get rid of bed bug a thick application of kerosene of emulsion is also effective against bed bugs.

7. BEETLES: BISCUIT BITTLES : these are brown with dense layer of yellow hairs on their body. The pests that attack cereal products and have even been known to infest poisonous substances such as strychnine.

8. CARPET BEETLES : These are the beetles that will attack furs, carpets and all kinds of woolen textiles. They flourish in situations when they remain undisturbed-e.g. beneath carpets, around skirting boards and in wardrobes.

9. Control Measures: Frequent vacuum-cleaning of fluff and dust is essential for control of these pests. In case of an infestation, insecticide powders may be sprayed in the affected areas.

10. FURNITURE BEETLES: This beetle makes its home in crevices and cracks of furniture made of unpolished wood.

11. COCKROACHES:

12. Control Measures: Cockroaches are the most difficult pests to eradicate Proprietary cockroach – killer preparations may be used in the infested areas. However, pest-control experts need to be called if the infestation persists.

13. FLEAS : This are common nuisance. Even a vacant house can have a flea problem. They are usually laid in a host's bedding, hatching at room temperature in about 10 days.

14. Control Measures : On finding an infestation, the property should be sprayed with an insecticide that will kill adult fleas, their eggs, larvae and pupae. Pest- control expert should be called in to help with the problem.

15. MOTHS : An insect resembling a butterfly, generally differing in having a duller color and differently shaped antennae and in being active at night.

16. Control Measures : Cloth moths in general are nocturnal insects and although males and spent females sometimes come into the light, they are more likely to scuttle for cover that to fly into the open when disturbed.Spray be applied to carpets.

17. ANTS These insects generally invade in large numbers when they come in search of food, especially sweet substances.

18. Control Measures : They can be destroyed by placing tablespoonfuls of carbon disulphide at the entrance.

19. FLIES These filthy are dangerous to health as the contaminate food, causing diseases such as typhoid, dysentery and so on. They carry the disease germs on their legs and in their saliva. These are transferred to food on which they sit.

20. Control Measures: To eradicate flies, the first essential step is to destroy all possible breeding grounds early in the year before egg-laying begins. All garbage should be burnt. All dustbins should be covered. And a good standard of cleanliness for the surrounding should be maintained. Aerosol fly-killer sprays are also effective.

21. Mosquitoes: These transmit diseases such as malaria, and yellow fever. As life cycle of mosquitoes begins in water, do not allow water to stagnate in and around the property. The pits should not be open.

22. Control Measures Covers drains and pour kerosene oil onto these to prevent larvae from thriving there and growing into adult mosquitoes. Fine gauze on windows prevents the entry of mosquitoes.

23. Mice and rats : rats and mice both carry disease germs and may cause food poisoning, infection, jaundice and so. mice and can contaminate food stuffs , work tops and utensils with their urine, droppings and fur and are responsible for spread of many diseases , some of which can be fatal to humans.

24. Control Measures: The most effective methods of controlling these pests are poisoning, trapping, fumigating to eliminate their food supply and shelter and rat- proofing buildings. Proprietary poisons are available to destroy rats and mice as well.

25. FUNGI : some fungi in the form of wet or dry rot can cause considerable structural damage to a property.

26. Control Measures: It is best to call pest control firms to deal with wet rot. Timber can be treated with water- repellant preservations to prevent wet rot.

27. ESSAY It is recommended that the hotel works with a professional partner implementing a pest control program to safeguard the hotel’s reputation. As American investor, industrialist, and philanthropist, Warren Buffet said, “IT TAKES 20 YEARS TO BUILD A REPUTATION AND FIVE MINUTES TO RUIN IT”.
