Cockroach
Good housekeeping is crucial in keeping cockroaches out but dont blame yourself if you have cockroaches in your kitchen. These pests can enter your home from through regular commodities you bring in – cylinders, groceries, soft drink crates; they can squeeze thru tiny cracks or get in thru drains and sinks. Often, roaches come in from neighbouring infestations and common areas of apartments.
These are nocturnal creatures, hiding in the smallest of gaps, nesting and multiplying right there, venturing out mostly during nights for food. A single roach seen crawling around your kitchen is most likely an indication of a large established colony.
Cockroaches devour anything that can be chewed on and are not fussy about where they get their food – sewers, toilets, kitchen sinks and spillages or the food you in your plate and containers! This habit makes them a common transmitter of ailments like dysentry, typhoid and gastro-enteritis. These pests are also known to cause allergies and exacerbate asthma.
Cockroaches can multiply very fast in hot and humid conditions so quick action will work best.
Your safety and environmental concerns are always of prime importance to us. Our expert technicians will ensure your home is disinfested thoroughly using the latest products and methods.
Ants
It is a common sight in Indian kitchens – a trail of ants busy carrying food from your home to their homes! Each colony comprising of hundreds to thousands of members, the workers relentlessly forage and stock upto their food supplies.
Although there are hundreds of species of ants, none are known to carry any pathogens. However, they can contaminate your food with their presence. Some species of ants are known to deliver a painful bite. If you have infants or aged family members at home, you would be particularly concerned about this pest.
At your workplace, their presence can be taken as lack of hygiene or poor housekeeping and lead to loss of business. Or loss of image.
Terramica ensures proper treatment so your property is cleared of ants effectively.
Mosquitos
Female mosquitoes need to feed on blood in order to continue future generations. It is common knowledge now that these pests transmit dangerous diseases like malaria, Chikungunya and Dengue and more.
With an ability to breed in any standing water – septic tanks to small collections of rain water, people often feel frustrated and helpless. Vaporisers and coils are just that – a smokescreen! DIY sprays will expose you to pesticide repeatedly but will not provide longer term solutions.
As always, your safety and well-being is of utmost importance to us.
Terramica provides a long term solution with an Integrated Pest Management approach, finding and treating stagnant water breeding spots on your premises and fogging outdoors for a quick kill. Indoor application where mosquitoes rest and hide will ensure you have that much missed good night’s sleep.

BedBugs
There is a mis-conception that bedbugs infest only premises that are not well maintained. In reality, these pests have quickly become the top nuisance pest across the continents.
Bedbugs feed on blood alone and can survive for months together without a single feed if there is no host. They are most likely to be nesting in and around your bed, bedstead etc but once the population increases, they start spreading out and can be seen hiding behind photo frames, behind switchboards, on curtains and even in ceiling areas.
Effective treatment and relief from these pests is tricky and requires not only a proper service but also investigating/stopping possible sources of entry.
It is imperative that the treatment is carried out professionally and meticulously. A single missed spot could lead to a quick relapse. Terramica has the expertise to do just the right thing.
