Entire universe is heading towards technological revolution. For a common man needs have started to increase on the technical front and as a result dependence on Technology becomes more irresistible. The growth of corporate, MNC, IT Industry is judged in almost all states of India and this industry is providing job opportunities to many people. MNC’s vision to their developments is based on India’s contribution. So, for the IT/ITES and corporate segments growth the health of the industry holds the pulse as hygiene parameters and cleanliness directly contributes. By having hygiene environment, it is easy for customers to visit, internal customers to work with freedom and thereby yield can be still better. The companies need to be well maintained and to make it pest free there are important strategies that needs to be devised.

Commonly found pests in this Industry include Rodents, Cockroaches, Mosquitoes and Lizards

Rodents are the only pest species which has the combative power of all three pest behaviors which include, damaging health, damaging health and creating nuisance to the client. They are that dangerous that not only damages the cables, wires, networks by chewing but also can damage expensive equipments thereby creating huge wealth loss. Rodents are dangerous pests as they carry viruses which can damage the health of the mankind. Since this pest has lethal trio attacking power, strategies with preventive nature needs to be deployed. Based on the type of Rodent, the solution framework is done. Rats generally refer to House Mouse and Roof Rat can be controlled by BGT Technology. BGT technology is abbreviated as Baiting, Gluing and Trapping. Bandicoots are the other type which can be controlled only by extensive Baiting technology.

In this Industry, the common place of infestation of Rodents will be landscaping areas, Stores, Canteen kitchen, Electrical, AHU, Network, data Centers, UPS and Server rooms. Rodent Control Solutions Includes

•   Identification of entry points
•   Baiting the burrows in external periphery
•   Placement of Glue traps or metal traps based on feasibility and thereby creating Line of Defence(LOD)
•   Monitoring and changing the position of traps based on Rodent Movement

Cockroaches are the nocturnal insects which can transmit lot of health diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and food poisoning to human and this major pest mainly breeds in Pantries, Food stores, Kitchens, Inside Work stations(If food is consumed), Rest rooms. Tackling this pest is done with different strategies based on the areas it is infesting.

German cockroach control is done by gel baiting. Moreover treatment is alone is not the solution, partnering aspect of customers with respect to taking action  on the inspection report is required to gradual eradication of German Cockroaches. Gel baiting pest control strategy is deployed to control the Cockroach population which was hiding inside the cracks and crevices. The Gel baiting involves cascading effect wherein the dead cockroach becomes the feed for the live ones and consumption of the dead cockroaches make the live cockroaches dead. Gel application is done to all the refrigerators, cold stores, stores, pantry locations, vending machines, water dispensers

Mosquitoes is the pest which gives no peaceful rest to the customer. Mosquitoes carry all types of deadly diseases like Malaria, Dengue, and chicken gunya. So Preventive strategies are the essential need of the hour and maintaining mosquito menace with combination of techniques will be the key practice that needs to be adopted. Mosquitoes are pests that are dangerous because of their faster reproduction, willingness to travel up to 3 Km distance and have high resistance to chemicals. So Mosquito management will be a combination of Repelling, Controlling and Residual effects techniques.

In Offices, Mosquitoes are driven by surrounding moving water bodies, garbage areas, green lusture and stagnant water in drains and other places around the periphery of the building. For managing mosquito menace, we have Solutions which includes

•   Anti Larvae Treatment, which is done on stagnant water bodies, where in we are controlling the mosquitoes at Larvae Level. In Offices this treatment is   required in landscaping areas, cellars.
•   Repellent treatment, which is done to drive away the adult mosquitoes with good odor. In Factories  this treatment is required in work stations, office       areas
•   Power equipment controllers like mist blowers and fogging machines are used to drive the adult mosquitoes by using Eco Friendly Chemicals. In             Offices it is done in cellars, building peripheries
•   Residual Sprays are done using ULV Foggers in the inside areas of the office.

Lizards are reptiles that are found in evening times in the corridors and shafts of offices. They tend to create fear and nuisance amongst the employees and cause danger of mixing with food items.. Though this reptile is not significant in creating any health hazards, by the appearance it fears humans. Lizards generally enter the place to trap the insects for its prey and so usually Lizards are visible when lights are ON in the evening time. Lizards are pests that can be repelled out and can be avoided with Good Partnering aspects. Lizard control solutions are thereby planned by either repelling them out or spotting them and spraying to trap them.

In Offices, lizards are generally found in the external wall periphery and with entry points they enter and reside in rest rooms, shafts, AHU Rooms, Corridors and external periphery of the Office. Lizard control solutions includes

•   Identification of entry points
•   Usage of repellants and spot spray chemicals
•   Plans for prevention and exclusion
•   Monitoring in the evening time and repeating the sprays.
