Summer is an ideal time for the proliferation of insects, in addition, food is abundant, human trafficking increases, temperatures are much higher … The problem appears when a high number of these animals leads to discomfort, transmission of diseases, bites, material and economic damage.
Conditions vary in each region of the country, these are the four most common summer insects on this side of the world.
Given the massive presence of these assets, it is best to seek professional help to avoid greater risks, both clinical and environmental health. It is essential to advocate for professional and quality preventive measures; we must be aware that prevention is better than cure. Although, sometimes, it is too late and we need to hire professional Pest Control services, such as the ones we offer at Bursan.
4 very common pests in our country are:
1. Mosquitoes or Mosquitoes
The mosquitoes are abundant in some areas of the country and are well known. Adult mosquitoes are usually active at night, spending all day in sheltered, damp, and dark places. Adults have a limited range of flight, no more than one kilometer from the place of breeding.
Time of greatest activity of the Zancudo: Spring – summer
Periodic residual disinsection of exteriors, lockers, dressing rooms, offices, etc.
For Zancudoss pests, the individual or agent should not only be considered as a source of direct contamination, but also as a source of indirect contamination through their waste, fluids, toxins, etc.
2. Flies
Horseflies, green flies, meat flies, and house flies are among the most commonly seen summer insects in the environment. The problem with these insects, apart from their unattractive appearance, are their repulsive habits: they eat rotting matter (a more frequent delicacy thanks to the summer sun) and some species leave their eggs in excrement so they can be carriers of diseases, such as Salmonella and E.coli.
3. Cockroaches
Other insects that appear in summer are cockroaches. The combination of humidity and heat causes these animals to leave their natural habitats in search of places where they can get food, water and shelter. Unfortunately that place can be our home or workspace.
Among the most common cockroach species in Chile are the American, Oriental and German cockroaches. The three species mentioned, apart from reproducing quickly, can cause different health problems.
4. Termites
The big problem with this little bug is that it can stealthily cause major property damage.
The most common species in Chile are Reticulitermes flavipes, Neotermes chilensis, Cryptotermes brevis and Porotermes quadricollis.
Integrated pest management is the best shield to avoid the presence of insects, winged or crawling, which can generate an infestation in a short time. The consequences of not controlling the pest are unhealthy conditions, disease, a damaged business image and serious financial losses.
