Keep Your Home Safe With Pest Control

By Chelsea Evans


For as long as humans walked the earth, certain animals have become an annoyance to humankind and we call them pests. They are usually insects or rodents which are a nuisance and can be damaging to humans or human concerns like livestock, agriculture, and the ecosystem. Fort Worth pest control offers to eradicate pests found in your home or office buildings.

Pest is a loose term that is usually related to weed plants, plant parasites, animal parasites, vermin, and even pathogens, though it can be possible for a prolific organism to be damaging in one place, but beneficial and domesticated in another place. An organism is introduced to a place that becomes invasive if they upset the balance of the existing ecosystem of that particular place. Common examples of pests are fleas, lice, termites, rats, plant weeds, locusts and many more.

Pest management is as old as agriculture itself since humans find it necessary to keep the animals from destroying the crops needed for food. Humans compete with herbivores and protects the crops from other species of plants so that food production can be maximized. Many organisms have only become a problem because of direct human intervention.

Flies, for example, gather in places with lots of human activity especially where there is food and waste and this is true around the world. These pests will evolve and adapt to their surrounding and can become resistant or tolerant to the different pest controls. To stop them, their whole kind would have to be completely exterminated or render incapable of reproducing or else they will just evolve to become a stronger species.

Today, there are various methods used to control pests and one of those is through biological method. Biological method is controlling a nuisance by controlling and managing its natural predators or parasites such as cat used to prey on rats. Biological method eliminates pestilence with minimal harm to the balance of the ecology in its present form.

Another natural method is by using organic pest controls like in gardening which is used against aphids, caterpillars, beetles and others. You can make an organic bug spray using onions, garlic, oil, or pepper. It is very inexpensive and safe for your family, for your garden plants, and, most of all, the environment.

Chemical control uses pesticides which could be sprayed across a wide expanse of cropland or by hand held units and can be sprayed on a place manually. It is effective and a commonly used method, but some pesticides can cause harm to humans as well. Repellents are applied to the skin, clothing, or other surfaces to discourage insects like mosquitoes from landing or climbing on that surface.

Soil steam sterilization is a method used in farming by sterilizing the soil in greenhouses or open fields with steam. There are also electronic devices that repel and eliminate house pests like mosquitoes, rats, and other insects. Ultrasonic devices has a very high frequency sound waves that can keep away animals.

A common method used in urban areas is the space treatment where a liquid insecticide is dispersed in the atmosphere within a structure to expose crawling and flying insects and eliminate them. Other methods are hunting and traps, space fumigation, and natural rodent management. If pestilence is present in your home, make a consultation with your nearest Fort Worth pest control.
