Rat Droppings Cause Diseases
Rats posed are a major health concern because their urine and droppings, as well as the fleas on their bodies, may transmit diseases. Rat flea cause plague and rat cause rat bite fever, Leptospirosis and Murine Typhus.

Bee Hives Too Near To Home?
Bees and wasps are flying insects from the order Hymenoptera. They occur naturally in our ecosystem, playing important roles as pollinators of plants and predators of other invertebrates.

Cockroach Carry Diseases
Cockroaches are known for spreading many types of diseases, like Cholera, contaminating food as well as causing allergic reactions due to their droppings and crawling over food.
As a result to their resilience and ability to hide and breed quickly, it is often a challenge to remove them with over-the-counter measures. Signs of Cockroach Infestations include unpleasant smell, cockroach droppings, cockroach eggs (ootheca) and shred skins.
Pigeon Droppings & Diseases
Pigeon droppings contain a fungus called Cryptococcus that can cause infections in vulnerable people if inhaled. Most people will not become unwell as a result, but vulnerable people with already weakened immunity “can get very ill with a chest infection or meningitis”.
Pigeon droppings are known to caused Cryptococcosis. Histoplasmosis. and Psittacosis. The symptoms includes fever, headache, chills, muscle pains, cough, and sometimes breathing difficulty or pneumonia.
Aedes Mosquito & Dengue
Mosquitoes can transmit diseases such as dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, malaria, and Japanese encephalitis. The most effective way to control the mosquito population is to prevent breeding by removing breeding habitats.
However, for mosquito breeding habitats that cannot be permanently removed, a competent pest control operator should be engaged to look out for them with insecticides and fogging to prevent breeding.
