Flushout
Quick and effective treatments to exterminate tough pests like cockroaches and rodents.
What is a rodent flushout?
At times rodent activities can spike due to environmental factors such as weather, temperature as well as human factors such as poor housekeeping and negligence. Rainy weather and low temperature may cause rodents to leave their nests and seek shelter indoors. The presence of food sources due to poor housekeeping further encourages rodents to shift their activities indoors.
When this happens, regular rodent treatments might not be sufficient to control the population of rodents on the premises. The rodent flush out program is a comprehensive program designed to manage and reduce rodent activities within the shortest amount of time possible. Weekly services that consist of inspection, monitoring and treatment will be carried out during the program.
What is a cockroach flushout?
The existence of one cockroach in an urban city like Singapore is terrifying to people. What if a whole family of them crawled in front of you? Cockroach flush out program is usually carried out when the infestation is too overwhelming to be controlled only by normal routine service. The program carried out is not aimed to monitor but eliminate the families of cockroaches in an area.
How does a rodent flushout work?
Rodent flush out program will take place at night. Initial inspection will be carried out in the premises to look out for signs of rodent activities. Non-toxic baits will be placed for initial monitoring before any traps or rodenticides are placed. Traps and rodenticides will only be deployed at locations where rodent activities are detected. In some situations, the snap traps are inactivated.
This is because rodents constantly explore and learn. They memorize the locations of pathways, food, water, shelter, obstacles and features of their environment. They can quickly detect and tend to avoid new objects and novel food. Therefore, they often avoid traps and baits for several days or more following their initial placement. After a few days or weeks, the activated snap traps or glue boards with baits will be introduced.
How does a cockroach flushout work?
Residual spraying chemical treatment will be used in this case. The chemical used will create a flush out effect which agitates the cockroaches and forces them out of their hiding places. The cockroaches that come into contact with the chemical will soon become hyperactive and die afterwards.
Why is it reliable?
The residual chemical will remain on the treated surface for a certain period. The residual effect also targets cockroaches that are just newly hatched from the ootheca (egg mass). Cockroaches that crawl through and contact with the chemical residues will be affected and killed.
