Treatment & Prevention
Learn effective treatment methods, prevention tips and safe practices.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Methods
Professional pest eradication does not rely on indiscriminate broadcast chemical spraying. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methodology utilizes biological harborage mapping, precision micro-placement of odorless active ingredients, and targeted biological life-cycle disruption.
Harborage Mapping
Inspecting moisture gradients, electrical conduit sleeves, plumbing shafts, and sub-slab voids to identify focal colonies and nests.
Precision Micro-Placement
Applying targeted gel baits, micro-encapsulated suspensions, and drill-infusion barrier emulsions directly into harborage crevices.
Life-Cycle Synchronization
Scheduling timed follow-up services aligned with insect egg incubation periods (14–21 days) to break nymphal breeding cycles.
Monitoring & Audit
Deploying non-toxic insect monitor traps, sealing structural ingress points, and establishing long-term exclusion boundaries.
Structural & Hygiene Prevention Tips
More than 70% of persistent urban pest infestations originate from unsealed exterior conduits and interior moisture leaks. Combine these four practical prevention disciplines to safeguard your home.
1. Kitchen Sanitation & Food Storage
- Wipe down grease behind kitchen cooktops and stoves nightly with warm soapy water.
- Store pantry dry pulses, grains, flours, and sugars inside airtight glass or thick plastic jars.
- Dispose of wet organic kitchen waste in tightly lidded bins before sleeping each night.
- Never leave open pet food in bowls overnight on kitchen or utility room floors.
2. Moisture Control & Plumbing Defense
- Repair weeping under-sink valves and drain traps promptly to deprive roaches of water.
- Ensure all bathroom, utility, and balcony floor drains feature intact cockroach-proof jali traps.
- Route air-conditioner condensation drainage pipes safely away from external foundation plinths.
- Fix persistent damp wall seepage to prevent subterranean termites and wood rot fungi.
3. Physical Exclusion & Structural Sealing
- Install heavy-duty rubber brush sweeps on all exterior main and balcony doors to close gaps.
- Seal annular pipe voids around gas lines, dishwashers, and sinks with copper mesh and silicone.
- Install 20-mesh stainless steel fly and mosquito screens on all openable windows and vents.
- Seal shrinkage cracks along granite skirting boards and modular cabinet joints with silicone.
4. Travel & Package Hygiene
- Place hotel luggage on elevated metal luggage racks or bathtubs, never directly on hotel rugs.
- Unpack suitcases in laundry areas and wash travel garments immediately at high temperatures (>60°C).
- Inspect corrugated cardboard grocery delivery boxes outside before bringing them indoors.
- Thoroughly inspect second-hand furniture and mattress seams before moving them inside.
Before-Service Preparation Checklist
Proper site preparation maximizes chemical efficacy, prevents chemical transfer to food surfaces, and guarantees the safety of residents and household pets.
Cockroach Gel Baiting
Zero Emptying- Modular kitchen cabinets do NOT need to be emptied for odorless gel baiting.
- Wipe down grease on stove backsplashes to ensure bait spots remain attractive.
- Store open snacks, cut fruits, and exposed cooked food inside the refrigerator.
Bed Bug Treatment
High Prep- Strip all bed sheets, pillow covers, and curtains; seal in plastic bags.
- Wash bagged linens in hot water (>60°C) and tumble dry on high heat.
- Move beds, cots, and wardrobes 2 feet away from bedroom perimeter walls.
Termite Drill & Infusion
Structural- Clear floor skirting and door frame plinths for drilling precision.
- Provide access to electrical plug points for precision rotary drilling tools.
- Ensure water access for calibrated chemical emulsion dilution tanks.
Flea & Tick Treatment
Pet Sync- Coordinate with your vet for simultaneous topical pet tick/flea treatment.
- Thoroughly vacuum all carpets, rugs, and pet resting mats prior to service.
- Wash pet bedding at high temperature (>60°C) or discard heavily infested mats.
Aquariums & Pet Birds
Safety Critical- Cover fish aquariums tightly with damp towels and temporarily disconnect air pumps.
- Relocate pet birds to untreated rooms due to their highly sensitive respiratory systems.
- Remove pet water and feeding bowls from treatment zones.
Infants & Senior Care
Health Protocol- Pack away baby toys, pacifiers, teething rings, and feeding bottles in cupboards.
- Pregnant women and asthmatic seniors should remain outside during spray tasks.
- Allow 2 hours for spray treatments to dry completely before re-entry.
After-Service Care & Protocols
Following post-treatment instructions ensures maximum residual longevity of chemical barriers while keeping your living spaces clean and secure.
The Critical 48-Hour Non-Mopping Rule
Do NOT wet-mop, wash, or wipe treated baseboard perimeters, skirting tiles, or cabinet corners for at least 48 hours following service.
Micro-encapsulated suspensions adhere to porous floor joints to create an invisible, odorless residual barrier. Wet mopping removes these micro-capsules before emerging nymphs can contact the active molecules.
Initial 3–5 Day Pest Activity Surge
It is completely normal to notice an apparent increase in sluggish pest activity during the first 3 to 5 days following treatment.
Gel baits and residual actives stimulate insect nervous systems, driving them out of deep dark crevices into visible open areas before they succumb. Sweep and dispose of carcasses; do not spray over-the-counter aerosols.
Safe Pest Carcass Sanitation
Use a household dustpan and broom to collect dead cockroaches, flies, or pests. Never handle dead pests with bare hands.
Seal carcasses inside an exterior trash bag and dispose of immediately in outdoor garbage bins to prevent scavenger attraction.
Life-Cycle Booster Visits
For bed bug, flea, and heavy cockroach infestations, a second service visit is scheduled within 14–21 days to treat newly hatched eggs.
Most chemical formulations do not penetrate egg casings (oothecae). The timed second visit ensures juvenile nymphs are neutralized before reaching reproductive maturity.
Safety Guidelines & Active Chemistry
SLV Pest Control utilizes exclusively Central Insecticides Board (CIB) registered and approved public health active ingredients. Formulations are selected for high biological selectivity against pest neuro-receptors with maximum safety for humans and domestic animals.
Zero Petroleum Odor
Water-based and gel matrix carriers eliminate harsh diesel or solvent chemical smells, preventing headache and eye irritation.
Child & Elderly Safe
Active molecules bind tightly to target harborage surfaces without airborne vaporization, making them safe for sensitive family members.
Domestic Pet Protocols
Formulations do not leave sticky surface residues that dogs or cats can ingest through paw grooming once dry.
Eco-Sensitive Actives
Botanical pyrethrins and targeted insect growth regulators (IGRs) break down naturally without persistent soil bio-accumulation.
