When it comes to human illness and building structural damage, common pests are the infamous culprits. One the world’s deadliest animals - the mosquito - is tiny but should not be taken lightly. According to the World Health Organization, mosquitoes cause around 725,000 deaths annually. In Malaysia alone in 2019, there are 130,000 reported dengue cases according to the Ministry of Health Malaysia. Termites can literally eat you out of house and home, if they are not detected early.

Broadly speaking, if you live near common breeding grounds and food sources of pests, there is a chance that your home or workplace will be visited by these creepy crawlies, particularly in urban areas like Petaling Jaya and Klang Valley. Rodents and cockroaches tend to appear in unhygienic environments that also provide a food source such as local restaurants and rubbish dumps, while mosquitoes and termites would generally be found closer to forested areas and clogged drains, where sources of wood and stagnated water are aplenty. Pest control in Kuala Lumpur is much needed to ensure pest populations are minimised in highly developed areas.

Are Pest Control Treatments Safe?

Treatments are safe for most cases except when there are babies below 2 years old, pregnant ladies or individuals that are allergic to insecticide present. For the above cases, it is always recommended to use a gel baiting method, where there will not be any insecticide particles flying in the air, so therefore it is very safe for them.

For food industries, Vacpest has chosen a nontoxic spray method to kill crawling insects such as cockroaches. Gel baiting is also a good method to treat certain pests such as common ants.

Types of Pest Management Services Vacpest Offers

Mosquitoes Control

denggi and malaria carrying mosquitoes breed quickly across Selangor

According to the World Health Organisation mosquitoes are the world’s deadliest animals, contributing to 725,000 deaths per year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that Aedes eggs are very hardy. They stick to the walls of a container or other breeding ground and can survive without drying out for up to 8 months. In highly built up areas like KL, pest control is needed regularly to ensure typical breeding places do not encourage more pest growth.

How can you tell if you’ve been bitten by a mosquito carrying the dengue or malaria virus?

Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, are carriers of the dengue virus. Common symptoms of Dengue fever typically last 2 - 7 days. Below are the signs for dengue fever:

Eye pain, muscle pain, bone pain, joint pain headache, rash, nausea / vomiting, abdominal pain, fever

Malaria is caused by Anopheles mosquitoes. The classic malaria attack symptoms last 6 - 10 hours. It consists of

A cold stage: sensation of cold shivers and chills
A hot stage: fever, headaches, vomiting; seizures in young children
And finally a sweating stage: sweats, return to normal temperature, tiredness

Despite council fumigations to reduce the number of mosquitoes in your area, it is advisable to engage in pest control services if you live in high risk areas, typically near dense forest areas, or clogged drains and stagnated water sources.

Termite Treatments

pest control can help with termite infestation problems in Penang and Ipoh

Termites are silent assassins that will damage your property without you noticing it.

Research shows that termites cause RM40 million worth of structural damages every year in Malaysia. In comparison, a chemical treatment cost is a fraction of that to keep your property safe for you and your family.

There are a few signs that show you may be under termite attack:

Termite mud tubes are the most common signs for house owners to know that they are having termite infestation.
Head Banging from termite (quiet clicking sounds). Termites communicate through banging their heads against the wood or shaking their bodies when the colony is disturbed to signal danger to the other termites.
Flying termites are usually the first sign for termite infestation. They are the swarmers or alates.
Some people misunderstand white color termites as ants. If you have milky white color insects which look like ants in your house, then you might have a termite problem.
Hollow timber or woods. Generally termites prefer to consume wood from the inside out.
Tight fitting doors and hard-to-open windows. There is a possibility that this is caused by the moisture that termite produce when they are eating and tunneling through door and window frames.

Vacpest offers anti-termite treatment in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya areas. We can also help with early termite detection.

Bed Bugs Control

how to identify if you have a Bed bugs infestation like so many others in Kuala Lumpur

Bedbugs have become a serious issue in the Malaysian region especially in the recent 10 years when the cost of travelling is cheaper.

Humans are always the preferred host of bed bugs and they tend to feed on bare skin while the host is resting. And when the host moves around from place to place, they unwittingly spread bed bugs to other places.

If you experience itchiness when sleeping, look out for these signs for bed bugs infestation:

Blood stains on your bed sheets or pillowcases.
Bed bugs fecal spots, egg shells around or under the bed, sofa or other bed bugs common hiding place.
An offensive, musty odor from the bug’s scent glands.

Adult bed bugs are visible to the naked eye, being around the size of an apple seed. They are usually brown or reddish-brown in colour. Younger bed bugs however might be trickier to spot, as they are smaller, whitish-yellow and translucent, unless they’ve recently had a meal.

As bed bugs can be transferred to other surfaces, they may also find second homes in travel luggage, carpets, sofas, curtains, and even cupboards or drawers where clothes or bedding are kept. Our pest control technicians can best advise the methods and frequency to treat bed bugs when we do an on-site visit.

Rat Extermination

rats and disease carrying rodents a major concern in eateries across Klang Valley

Rats are considered as some of the most troublesome and damaging rodents found in urban and suburban areas. Common rats found in Malaysia are the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) and Malayan house rat/roof rat (Rattus rattus diardii).

A female rat could give birth to 6-12 pups, in which they will reach sexual maturity at about 3 months. An average lifespan for a rat is about 1-2 years depending on conditions such as food source, harborage and predator. Rats can carry dangerous diseases, including the Leptospirosis bacteria, that can cause kidney and liver failure, and death.

Densely built-up areas across Klang Valley, KL and PJ are ideal breeding grounds for these pests if there are lots of rubbish food sources available.

Cockroach Control

cockroach problems cause unhygienic living conditions in Kuala Lumpur

Cockroaches are well known nuisances. These hardy insects are dangerous because they are able to carry pathogens that cause allergies, diarrhea, dysentery and even hepatitis B antigen. And nothing is more terrifying or unwelcomed as a flying cockroach!

Different species have different preferences on harborage. American cockroaches generally prefer sewers or ditches. German cockroaches love hiding in cracks and crevices in cupboards or hypermarket cashier counters. Restaurants in particular in highly populated cities like Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya should undergo pest control checks regularly.

Ants Treatment

ant problems in Petaling Jaya a common pest control issue

For indoor building areas, ants are a common nuisance to most food and beverage industries or households. They are able to access a building through even the tiniest crack on the wall. They generally appear around food or water source areas.

Weaver ants also known as kerengga ants live in trees in gardenareas. They are very aggressive towards humans when we walk past their territory. They will climb on or jump on the human body and start biting. They squirt formic acid that is secreted from their abdomen into the wound, making the bite doubly painful. Home owners across Klang Valley tend to encounter this common pest.

Common Flies Pest Control

house flies are a disease carrying pest in Selangor

House flies are able to transmit over 100 pathogens such as common bacteria (cholera, typhoid) or parasites (amoeba) through its waste, feces or just by physical contact.

Adult flies are able to fly further, and often forage food far away from their nesting area. They tend to breed in decaying, fermenting or rotting organic material. Some of these places include:

Accumulated animal faeces
Rubbish heaps
Open drains or sewage sludge
Farms or fields that are heavily manured with organic matter such as dung, food waste and fish-meal
Accumulated rotting plant materials, like decaying grass clippings or compost heaps.

Cat Fleas, Dust Mites and Other Pests Treatments
