Month: May 2019

Gophers live underground and are active all year round. They spend almost all their time in underground tunnel systems, and you might be unaware that gophers are living under your turf unless you see a gopher hole and mound.

Gophers are extremely well adapted and built for an underground existence. The gopher lives most of its life beneath the surface where it digs a burrow system. A gopher can create large mounds that may cause damage to passing farm equipment. Additionally, its tunnels often interfere with underground utilities, irrigation and sprinkler systems, dams, fields, and homeowners’ gardens. 

Pocket gophers are destructive diggers that can be a nightmare for property owners. They use their sharp claws and teeth to excavate underground tunnels and burrows, which can quickly lead to extreme lawn damage. 

Gophers are highly active in the spring and summer. They cause damage to the lawns and plants due to burrow systems that contain 500 or more tunnels that are 6″ to 1′ in depth. They can also cause damage to the slope by undermining erosion. Gophers have teeth that are capable of gnaw-damage to water lines and sprinkler systems. They are solitary and, compared to other pests, are relatively slow breeders.

Go away gophers: Calgary homeowners frustrated with rodents

May 22, 2019

Calgary’s long winter is over and many people are enjoying the sunshine but there are some unwelcome residents among many gardens too.

Gophers or Richardson’s ground squirrels may look cute to the casual observer but experts in the pest control field say the rodents are a big nuisance.

“They do a lot of damage by tunneling. They go about one metre deep and just do a lot of destruction when they burrow,” says Conrad Mueller, president of Absolute Pest Control.

Strychnine ban for gophers pondered

By Barb Glen │August 9, 2018 

Health Canada proposes to end the use of strychnine to control ground squirrels and is seeking public input on the matter until Sept. 27.

The proposal stems from a regular review of pesticides under the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

In its consultation document, Health Canada said strychnine kills ground squirrels, also commonly called gophers, but it also kills non-target species that might eat either the poison-treated grain used to attract gophers or scavengers that eat the dead rodents.

Trapping is not the appropriate way to deal with these gophers. Usage of smoke balls is extremely lethal.

They are called rhino beetles because they have a horn on their heads that looks like a rhino horn!

Rhinoceros Beetles are among the largest of beetles in the world. The Rhinoceros Beetle is aptly named because it has horns on its head, very much like the rhinoceros does.

All rhinoceros beetles are herbivorous. The adults feed on fruit, nectar, and sap. The larvae eat decaying plant matter.

Rhinoceros beetle is mainly a pest of coconut and oil palms. The beetle’s damage palms by boring into the center of the crown, injuring the young growing tissues and feed on the released sap. As they bore into the crown, they cut through the developing leaves.  The damage can significantly reduce coconut production and kill the tree. The beetle is also known to feed on economically important commercial crops such as bananas, sugarcane, papayas, sisal, pineapples, and date palms. Unfortunately, when one beetle finds a tasty tree, it calls in its friends for a mass attack!

Detection can be difficult due to the beetle’s nocturnal activity and residence within trees. Visual signs such as holes bored at the base of leaves and V-shaped feeding damage help locate this beetle. 

Damage from rhinoceros beetle worse than expected in Solomons

25^th January 2019 

Damage to coconut palms in Solomon Islands from the coconut rhinoceros beetle is much worse than earlier estimated, according to scientists.

Having spread from its initial invasion site in Honiara, a new variant of the beetle is threatening copra and palm oil production and livelihoods of villagers who depend on coconuts.

New Zealand research institute AgResearch Dr Trevor Jackson has been assisting Solomon Islanders respond to the problem.

He said it was much worse than we anticipated when the pest was first noticed in the Pacific around 10 years ago.

“We’ve seen areas where virtually all of the palms in an area have been destroyed by the beetle. So this has caused a total collapse in coconut production in those areas.”

Coconut rhino beetle eradication efforts focused on Pearl City area

By Nina Wu │March 29, 2019

The battle against the invasive coconut rhinoceros beetle, which destroys palms, remains focused on the Pearl City area of Oahu, according to state agriculture officials.

In the past four weeks, officials have caught 146 beetles in the Pearl City and Iroquois Point area, according to biological control section chief Darcy Oishi. This is roughly equivalent to the number captured the same time a year ago.

“In the last few months, we’ve been having particularly high beetle counts,” he said. “Some of our partners have engaged in green waste management, stepped up surveillance activities, with new information, and are more effective at finding things.

Preventive measures include the use of pesticides, napthalene balls, etc. to repel the beetles. Oil cakes of neem and marotti (Hydnocarpus wightiana) have also provided good results.

Mothballs have been used as a traditional way to ward off any rodents but are they really effective? They are largely ineffective and they definitely are not good for health. In fact, they are carcinogenic. Manufacturer’s instructions regularly warn against using mothballs for any purpose other than those specified by the packaging, as such uses are not only harmful and noxious, they are also frequently considered illegal. They are a nuisance to mainly humans as they can lead to anemia, cataracts in not only humans but also rats, rabbits, and mice. They can even lead to retinal hemorrhage. Don’t believe us? Given below is evidence which has been taken from a new article published by The Lewiston Tribune.

THE USE OF MOTHBALLS TO WARD OFF RODENTS FROM CARS PARKED AT CORN CREEK BOAT LAUNCH MAY BE EFFECTIVE, BUT IT’S STILL ILLEGAL.

Sun., May 19, 2019, By Eric Barker

LEWISTON – A clever hack being used by river runners to protect their cars at the Corn Creek Boat Launch on the upper Salmon River has drawn the ire of officials on the Salmon-Challis National Forest.

According to a news release from the agency, some rafters and kayakers who leave their vehicles parked at the boat ramp while floating the river place mothballs under their rigs. The idea is to deter mice and other rodents from climbing into the engine compartment and causing havoc.

The mothballs deployed by river runners at Corn Creek are meant to deter the messy and destructive mice, marmots, rats, and other rodents. But the balls Grandma used to keep moths from chowing on wool garments are also considered a pesticide. It’s illegal for people to apply such chemicals, even in the form of mothballs, on federal land.

Salmon-Challis National Forest spokeswoman Amy Baumer said some agency workers have even become sick from constantly breathing mothball fumes at Corn Creek.

Rodents sometimes enter the dark nooks and crannies of parked car and truck engine compartments to build nests. The rodents generally make a mess when they do this, but they can also do costly damage with their teeth. Rodents sometimes like to chew on rubber, damaging fan and engine belts or the sheathing that covers electrical wires.

Even worse, some late-model cars have wires with sheaths that are soy-based and apparently irresistible to vermin. When they chew on the apparently delicious and environmentally friendly wires, they can destroy the wire harnesses, short electrical systems and causes tens of thousands of dollars of damage.

The mothball deployment tactic seems to be limited to just Corn Creek.

The U.S. Forest Service news release said the use of mothballs is a violation of 36CFR, which bans the use of any pesticide aside from insect repellent. It quotes the National Pesticide Information Center as saying, “Mothballs are nearly 100 percent active ingredient, and the active ingredient may be either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Each active ingredient can cause different health effects if the exposure is high enough. Mothballs slowly turn from solids to toxic vapor. When you smell mothballs, you are inhaling the insecticide. Mothballs can also be dangerous if they are chewed or swallowed. Children, pets and wildlife may mistake them for food or candy and eat them. One mothball can cause serious harm if eaten by a small child.”

Baumer said, for now, Forest Service law enforcement agents aren’t writing tickets to mothball rodent warriors and instead are choosing to inform them of the dangers.

“We are just trying to get the word out and get people educated,” she said.

So what can we do to take care of this? If the traditional methods have stopped working then what can we use?

We, at   C Tech Corporation, can provide you with an effective solution. Our product   Combirepel^TM is developed by using green technology. It is extremely low toxic, low hazard, low concern, and non-mutagenic animal aversive. It is durable at extreme climatic conditions.

Our product is ROHS, ROHS2, ROHS3, EU BPR, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted. Our product does not cause harm to target as well as non-targeted species. It just repels them from the applied product. It works on the mechanism of fear, discomfort, aversion, training, and conditioning.

 Combirepel^TM is available in three forms namely masterbatch, liquid concentrate, and lacquer. Masterbatch can be incorporated into applications like fencing, wires, cables, water pipes, other polymeric applications, etc. The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints to repel rodents from the area required. Lacquer form can be directly applied to the application such as wooden fences, guards, installed wires and cables, any other application that requires protection.

The  Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray can be used by anyone and is an easy to use product. It can be sprayed in the cars, gardens, garages, warehouses, storerooms, etc. to keep the rodents away. We also have Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray which is effective against both rodents as well as insects.

Voles may be small, but they are a force to be reckoned with. If these underground, fast-breeding varmints have ever invaded your lawn or garden, you may know what we’re talking about. Voles may not be life-threatening and maybe no one has ever died from having them in their yard, but we’re betting the problem is front and center for those of you have had their lawns destroyed by these covert invaders.

Vole runways are formed by a combination of voles eating the grass blades and the steady traffic from their shallow underground burrow to seek food along the runways. Runways are often hidden by ground cover, so you may have to pull back overhanging cover to find them.

The opening to a vole burrow can be identified by neat, round holes that measure an inch or two in diameter. Vole holes can be found in open turf or hidden underground cover, plantings or mulch. Voles mostly thrive on small plants, yet like shrews, they will eat dead animals, and like mice or rats, they can live on almost any nut or fruit. Additionally, voles target plants more than most other small animals, making their presence evident. Voles readily girdle small trees and ground cover much like a porcupine. This girdling can easily kill young plants and is not healthy for trees or other shrubs.

Let’s have a look on following evidences revealing damage caused to lawns by voles:

Beware a coming invasion of voles

Prolific breeding voles can wreak havoc on a lawn or garden

By JOAN MORRIS 

I could not figure out what was causing furrows in my lawn until one morning at first light, I saw a mouse running in the trail and grabbing a quick bite of grass before retreating back under the plants for cover.

Mice are not, as a rule, big grass eaters; however, you don’t have mice, you have voles. The paths you see in your grass are called runways, and they connect the holes in the vole network. The opening to the tunnels are usually concealed beneath vegetation.

Voles ripping up yards across Winnipeg

One exterminator said voles are hitting some parts of the city hard this spring.

By Michelle Bailey For Metro

“The newer areas of the city have definitely been hit hard,” said Taz Stuart, Director of Technical Operations with Poulin’s Exterminators. “But really, they are causing problems all over because the heavier the snow, the better they can survive the winter.”

Stuart explained “predators can’t hear them scurrying under all of that snow,” and Winnipeg became a vole haven following heavy snowfall in late December.

Typically, voles welcome spring by creating visible tunnels, or “runways” at or near the surface that are about two inches wide by eating grass blades and zipping back and forth on consistent paths.

Hence from the evidences we can conclude that though the voles are small they cause huge damage to grass, weeds, roots of plants, etc. in lawns.

Voles grow to 3–9 in (7.6–22.9 cm), depending on the species. They can have 5 to 10 litters per year. Gestation lasts for three weeks and the young voles reach sexual maturity in a month. As a result of this biological exponential growth, vole populations can grow very large within a very short time.

So, they can’t be neglected, and we need to use some protective measures against them. There are many control measures to be used to control voles like exclusion, habitat modification, trapping, etc. but they are ineffective.

We, at C Tech Corporation can provide you with an effective solution. Our product Combirepel^TM is developed by using green technology. It is extremely low toxic, low hazard, low concern, and non-mutagenic animal aversive. It is durable at extreme climatic conditions.

Our product is ROHS, ROHS2, ROHS3, EU BPR, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted. Our product does not cause harm to targeted as well as non-targeted species. It just repels them from the applied product. It works on the mechanism of fear, discomfort, aversion, training and conditioning.

Combirepel^TM is available in three forms namely masterbatch, liquid concentrate, and lacquer. Masterbatch can be incorporated into applications like fencing, wires, cables, water pipes, etc. The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints to repel voles from the area required. Lacquer form can be directly applied to the application such as wooden fences, guards, etc. Hence by using Combirepel^TM the lawns can be prevented from vole damage effectively and considerably.

The Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray can be used by anyone and is an easy to use product. It can be sprayed in the gardens, garages, warehouses, storerooms, etc. to keep the rodents away from lawns.

The pink bollworm is an insect known for being a pest in cotton farming.

The pink bollworm is native to Asia but has become an invasive species in most of the world’s cotton-growing regions.

The National Cotton Council of the USA estimates that the pink bollworm costs American cotton producers more than US$32 million each year in control and yield losses.

News was reported that:

‘Pink bollworm is out of control in India’

KV Kurmanath, Hyderabad | March 13, 2019 

That pink bollworm has developed resistance to Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab (or Bollgard-II) — the two biotech solutions currently available in India to tackle pink bollworm — is no news.

Virulent attack of the pest is destroying the fibre crop on lakhs of acres across the country, particularly in the West, Central and Southern parts.

An American pink bollworm expert says that it is impossible to tackle the menace with the current two Bt toxins being used in the country. “It has gone out of control. It’s too late. Too little,” he points out when asked about the likely control mechanisms.

“The two genes that are being used in India are now ineffective. The resistance is widespread. There is no way we can set the clock back if we use these two Bt toxins,” Bruce Tabashnik, Head of Department of Entomology at the University of Arizona, who studies pest resistance and has done extensive study on pink bollworm and its resistance to Bt toxins, told BusinessLine.

Pink bollworm may hit cotton output in Maharashtra, Telangana

According to the agriculture departments, the cotton crop that was sown before June 15 has been infested with pink bollworm above the economic threshold levels.

By Jayashree Bhosale

Along with the deficient rainfall, the pest has triggered concern among farmers, even as futures and spot prices of ginned cotton continue to rule firm. 

Pink bollworm resistance towards the insecticides is a major issue of concern. Preventative treatment that might be applied during the pre-bloom period is discouraged because this can destroy many beneficial forms that keep bollworms and other pests under control. What can be done to get rid of the bollworms?

Combirepel^TM a C Tech Corporation product is best to deal with the nuisance caused by this pink bollworm.

Combirepel™ is thermally stable and does not degrade on exposure to heat and sunlight. It does not kill or harm the insect but repels them. It does not volatilize and does not degrade the soil. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, ISO, APVMA, NEA, EU BPR compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Our product works on the mechanism of repellency. It temporarily inhibits the mating cycle of the insects. The product impairs the ability of the insects to reproduce, i.e. the insects will not lay eggs or the laid eggs will be infertile. The product causes feeding disruption in an insect by triggering an unpleasant reaction within the insect which might try to feed on the application. The product temporarily blocks the reproduction system of the insects by hindering the release of the vital hormones for growth.

Our Combirepel^TM masterbatch can be incorporated in the agricultural films, polymer materials, greenhouse films, polymer sprinklers, irrigation pipes, plastic parts from pumps and tractors used in the fields.

The product in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints and be painted on the concrete walls around the farms.

Our lacquer product can be applied to already installed applications. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like metals, wood, polymers, concrete, etc. It can be applied on the wooden fences around the farms and already installed pipes.

Combirepel^TM does not kill the target species but only repels them thus balancing the ecology and thus helping in maintaining the goal of sustainability.

This product works on the mechanism of green technology. The product does not have any adverse effect on humans. Therefore, significant in today’s time and date as ecology salvation has become the prime focus. It is effective against a broad spectrum of insects, rodents and also birds keeping them away from the application.

Why do we visit RESTAURANTS?

Restaurants are visited for trying out different variety of food and having a bit of relaxation time.

The quality of the food offered is all that matters when one visits a restaurant, isn’t it?

Restaurants are rated on the scale of quality as well as hygienic of food maintained. The best the service provided by the restaurants the best it is rated. The primary factors of the differentiation of restaurants are the food offered, the cuisine or the style of offering. Beyond this they may differentiate themselves on factors like speed, formality, location, cost, service or novelty themes.

A restaurant is inspected by the FDA twice in a year and examined on the basis of hygiene, safety, and cleanliness. The inspections often take an hour to complete. Inspectors look for anything that could present a health concern to the public. If any of the violations are noted then the restaurants are banned until the violation reason is completely eradicated. Following are the pieces of evidence of some of the restaurants being closed and infestation reported.

Woman shares video of BABY RAT she found in her takeaway

By Michael Moran │10^th May 2019

A woman has posted a video to her Facebook page which appears to show a baby rat that has been cooked in a takeaway noodle dish.

Deyanira Cortes who lives in Columbus, Ohio, uploaded the video which shows her picking up the tiny ‘rodent corpse’ with a fork to give viewers a good view of the creature’s “little hand and face.”

She says that she bought the sickening dish from Yihi Japan in the Polaris Fashion Place shopping mall in Columbus and has shared the video as a warning to others.

The video emerges in the same week that a Scottish woman complained of finding an entire chicken head in her takeaway.

Deyanira wrote: “Please don’t buy from Yihi Japan that’s inside the Polaris Mall.

“I bought a chicken teriyaki and got a rat foetus cooked in the food… it’s disgusting.

“Please share so no one buys from there, and we can avoid someone getting sick.”

Takeaway shut down over mice infestation

By Daniel Binns │ April 18^th 2019

A PIZZA HUT restaurant was closed and fined £8,000 after its kitchen was found covered in mouse droppings.

The takeaway was visited by council inspectors who discovered evidence of an ‘extensive and active’ infestation of the rodents, a court heard.

There was a dead mouse in the cellar and droppings in food preparation areas and in a dough-proving machine.

The Swansea restaurant — which also had mold on the walls and damps in the cellar — was shut down as it posed an ‘immediate risk of injury to health’.

All of a sudden, a shut-down notice hampers your restaurant’s growth and also the reputation within a county gets lowered. This is all because of the tiny pests called RODENTS.

Rodents such as mice and rats are of more concern because they are the main culprits of the restaurant closures. Rats and mice are attracted to the restaurants due to the availability of the food and warm habitat.

There are many access areas through which this pest enters your restaurants like sewage lines, air ducts, basin outlets, etc. Such areas cannot be totally separated from the surroundings and hence the infestation cannot be removed very easily.

You can easily find out the infestation in your restaurant by the signs of rodent infestations as rodent droppings all over the area, polymer-based application bitten up, the peculiar smell of rodent urine, etc. The rid of rodent infestation is important as the rodents are the carriers of many diseases and they can be easily transferred to people via the food they eat in your restaurants.

For maintaining the hygiene and safety at your restaurant against the pesky restaurants we can help you by providing you with an eco-friendly solution which is Combirepel^TM.

Combirepel^TM is manufactured by CTech Corporation using green technology. The restaurants can be well protected by using our product Combirepel^TM. It works on the mechanism like fear, discomfort, aversion, training and association & conditioning. As stated earlier the product is a green technology product which does not kill the rodent but only repels thus maintaining the ecological balance of the earth.

Our product is available in four forms viz. Masterbatch, Liquid Concentrate, lacquer, and wood polish additive.

Combirepel^TM. Masterbatch can be incorporated in the polymer-based applications while processing them. The polymer applications like wires, cables, pipes, polymer made kitchen equipment, etc. can be manufactured by using our masterbatch.

Combirepel^TM liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in proper proportion and cover the entire area of infestation by paints. Combirepel^TM in lacquer form can be directly used as a top coating over the application. The wood polish additive is also a topical application which can be mixed in the wood polish and applied on wooden surfaces.

Our newly developed product is in the form of a spray, called Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray which is an easy to use product. The spray can be sprayed on infested areas and equipment that need protection from rodents.

Our product solutions do not interfere with the properties of the application and in plus point provides complete protection against the harmful pest like rats and mice.

It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and a high infestation can lead to significant yield loss.

The voracious, inch-long fall armyworm, the larval form of the armyworm moth, can breed rapidly, spread great distances and is hugely difficult to eradicate.

The adult moth can move over 100 km per night, this is a precise reason why the infestation has spread across within a short span of time.

The larva is the damaging stage of the insect.

In recent years the armyworm has ruined agricultural produce across Africa and the Americas, where it originated and has now begun to march across Asia and wipe out the crops.

In some parts of Africa, up to 70% of crops were destroyed by the armyworm, causing as much as $6 billion in damage across the continent.

Fall armyworm attack caused Rs 20cr crop loss in Mizoram

PTI Aizawl | May 07, 2019

The outbreak of Fall armyworm has affected maize cultivation in 122 villages.

Mizoram government has informed the Centre about an estimated crop loss of Rs 20 crore caused by an outbreak of the ‘Fall armyworm’ (FAW) in the state, a minister said on Tuesday.

The outbreak caused by Spodoptera Frugiperda, an insect, has affected maize cultivation in 1,747.9 hectares in 122 villages, state Agriculture minister C Lalrinsanga said.

The state government has constituted a Rapid Response Team to monitor the outbreak and take measures to mitigate the loss of crops, he said.

Meanwhile, state Agriculture Department Director Rohmingthanga Colney said that chemical pesticides and organic ones were being used to kill the worm in maize fields.

Asia on alert as highly destructive fall armyworm spreads

21/03/19

By: Trudy Harris

The highly destructive moth (Spodoptera frugiperda), native to North and South America, has been steadily moving east since 2016, causing up to US$3 billion worth of damage to maize and other crops in Africa, according to reports. The pest reached India in July last year before hitting Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

“During the last 6—7 months, fall armyworm has spread from India to China, and will continue to spread in China. It has reached Myanmar and Thailand and it will also spread to Vietnam sooner or later,” says Hans Dreyer from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The worm is causing havoc across the fields in the Asian countries and has already wiped out the production in American and African continent.

A fire station infested with vermin?

Possible.

The rats have been following humans everywhere and anything that can provide shelter and food is a place where these rodents thrive.

But a fire station is a structure which needs to be rodent free to avoid any mishaps that can occur due to the presence of rats.

The rats have two pairs of continuously growing incisors which must be kept sharp by gnawing. For their survival, they gnaw on any surface, may that be polymeric, metallic, wood, concrete, etc. This habit can prove to be extremely costly to the equipment and property owner when the application is damaged by these rats.

Similar occurrences have been documented and are mentioned below:

$16,000 approved to rid Merrimack fire station of rodents

By Kimberly Houghton Union Leader Correspondent │April 25, 2019

MERRIMACK — A rodent infestation has plagued the Reeds Ferry fire station, with mice and squirrels causing damage to fire equipment stored at the facility.

About $16,000 in pest control efforts are needed to fix the critter problem at the fire station along the Daniel Webster Highway, which has not been manned by firefighters for several years but is used for storage.

“We had a couple of squirrels that we were trying to get rid of,” said Michael Currier, chief of Merrimack Fire Rescue. “ … Some of the breathing apparatus was chewed by mice.”

Currier said that one mouse found a new home in the mouthpiece of a fire mask, while others chewed through a new engine hose to use its interior material for netting.

Critter Control has assessed the damage and provided a $16,200 quote to eradicate the rodents and fix any possible or potential openings to prevent future problems, according to the chief.

As a homeowner, you will discover over time that you share your living space with a variety of creepy crawlies, both small and tiny. One of the places in your home which provides shelter for these types of pests is your carpet and rugs.

Although carpet beetles are not dangerous to humans, they are definitely harmful to your belongings.

They will destroy your carpets from the bottom up. If your couch or chair is padded or cushioned, they can chew the covering to pieces. They will also create holes in clothing. They’ll damage rugs and wool clothing, as well as dirty clothing made of other fibers, such as cotton or silk. They’ll feed on skin cells, pet food, and can also get into packaged foods. Any box of undisturbed clothing or blankets is also a target for a carpet beetle.

Carpet beetle larvae are not extroverted creatures and will spend most of their time well-hidden, making it harder to identify them. Carpet beetle larvae feed primarily on animal products but will eat other items as well.

Once a home is invaded the adult female beetles can lay up to 100 eggs, which hatch into larvae in one to two weeks. 

Carpet beetles are spring’s uninvited guests

Les Harrison, Guest columnist Published March 28, 2019

Unfortunately, there are some species in residence which have awakened with a destructive appetite capable of taking the joy out from this time of year. Carpet beetles are active and seeking new territory to conquer.

Beware of carpet beetles

By Peter L. Warren │ September 14, 2015

They can be found on a variety of things besides carpets and are most likely infesting something near where you are seeing them in the pantry. These insects are sometimes used by mammalogists to clean animal skeletons in scientific collections. Sadly, they are also a serious museum pest and are notorious for eating insect collections and other dead animals.

Fumigation is done by homeowners and naphthalene balls are used without any instructions. Both these methods are extremely harmful to humans and pets.
