Do you have pets like dogs or cats in your house? Then, you can almost certainly expect them to bring pests into the house whenever they come back from a walk or after playing outside. Pets can unknowingly accumulate a variety of insects and pests into their paws, nails, hair, etc. while playing outside. And when they enter the home, these pests can get on your floors, furniture and other areas wherever your pets go to.
Besides being annoying, this can actually be a seriously harmful thing as your furry friends can bring all kinds of harmful pests in your house and make your loved ones very sick. This is why it’s important to identify and deal with this pet-originated pest problem in your house as early as possible.
The first step is, of course, to identify the types of pests that your pets can bring into the house. Now, dogs and cats sniff around all kinds of garbage, dust, dirt and similar things during their outdoor activities. While doing this, they can come across all kinds of infections, bacteria, parasites, and even viruses, which get accumulated in their hair, nails and other body parts. Some of these parasites are so detrimental that they can make your pets as well as those around them sick in no time.
Read on to know about the common types of pests (parasites) that your pets can bring into your house/office, along with the best way to deal with them.
Types of Pests that your Pets can bring
1. Toxoplasmosis parasite
This kind of parasite commonly travels through cats. Cats can catch the pest when roaming out and around the house. From cats, the Toxoplasma gondii parasite can transfer to humans through touch and respiration. If the symptoms are mild, they can disappear automatically without causing any serious damage. However, the problem can be severe sometimes, which is why pest control is important when you have cats at home.
2. Toxocariasis parasite
This parasite is commonly found in the intestine of pets and can transmit through both dogs and cats. Infection from dogs is particularly dangerous and can affect all humans, especially children. In some cases, it can even damage the liver, lungs and other body parts. Getting proper and timely pest control and maintaining adequate hygiene are the best ways to deal with the problem.
3. Hydatid Disease Parasite
This parasite is also found in the intestines of dogs and can transfer to humans through the feces of an infected dog. When cleaning up pet feces or even when touching them, pet owners can get infected by this parasite. This can commonly result in hydatid disease in humans and may impact the liver, chest (pain), brain and bones. Timely treatment of pests is the most viable solution to deal with the problem.
4. Bacteria
Bacteria of all kinds can transmit infections from pets to humans. Common infections caused by bacteria on pets are salmonella and campylobacter. Both dogs and cats can transmit these and the primary source is pet feces.
How to deal with the pest problem caused by your pets
The best way to deal with the pest problem is timely and thorough pest control treatment. For this, you can hire the services of a professional Pest Control Provider or can do it yourself if you have the experience and resources for it.
The first step is to identify the problem through Pest Inspection. Keep checking your pet’s hair for germs/bacteria. Also, regularly check their neck and belly for fleas and other pests.
Besides pest control and treatment, ensure proper hygiene when dealing with your pets and cleaning their feces. Keep your pets clean, regularly comb their hair to remove fleas & bacteria and arrange regular medical checkups for them.

Best Pest Control Methods Used by PestControlCorp Technicians
At Pest Control Corp, we only use advanced, proven pest control techniques that are really effective in controlling pest problems at your home/office.
Based on the type and seriousness of the problem, we can apply the following pest control solutions/methods at your home or commercial property.
Fumigation
Fumigation is one of the most effective ways of killing pests and limiting their infestation with the long term goal. The method can be used for both residential and commercial pest problems and is also effective in dealing with pests that harm crops. It is generally effective in the killing of a range of pests, including rodents, termites, beetles, insects, nematodes and weeds.
The fumigation method involves covering the affected place in an airtight manner and then fogging with a specialised insecticide for a period of a few hours. All kinds of pests within the sealed area will be killed. One of the best benefits is that it removes the pest problem completely with no chances of recurring.
A more effective fumigation technique, that is followed by our technicians at Pest Control Corp, involves fogging the area with a liquid insecticide using a spray machine, without the need to evacuate or seal the area. The benefit is that the building or area can be used for regular work. This is the most recommended pest control method, as it ensures no work loss and long-lasting results.
Pest Control Methods based on Pests
Rodents
For controlling rodents and other rats in a residential/commercial property, one can use Balsam fir oil, which is a non-toxic rodent repellent. Other safe trapping methods can be useful in capturing rodents, including house rats and mice.
Pantry Pests
Pests that roam around and infect pantry items like flour, cereals, rice, etc. can be controlled through methods like freezing and heating the food.
Clothes Moths
Moths that feed on cloth fabrics and similar items like rugs can ruin your clothes if left unattended. Drying the affected clothes and items in the sun is the most effective method of killing such insects. Insecticides and chemicals can also be used in some conditions.
Beetles
Beetles are of different types. Mostly, they affect wood items or carpets and can cause severe damage in the long term. To control such insects, chemical treatment is applied to timber, usually before furniture construction.
Termites
Termites are one of the most common and damaging types of pests you can deal with. The best way to deal with the problem is to get the place exterminated by a professional pest control technician.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are the deadliest types of house pests. They feed on human blood and can cause a range of diseases, including malaria, dengue, Chikungunya and others. Some biological and chemical methods are used by professionals to control mosquito infestation.

Viruses that are not even visible to our naked eyes have killed more than 749K human beings in the last 6 months and it is still not clear when this will stop. As we remember, there was one pet cat reported having coronavirus in Beijing, China, But what happened next with that cat? Which animals can catch the coronavirus and is it harmful to animals too? These three questions are still unanswered.
We picked just one case here, but actually, there have been several reports available online and in the press about animals being tested Positive for Covid-19. These reports also state that the virus has been found in a range of animals from domestic cat and dogs to wild animals in zoos and farmed mink.
As per some reports, the virus has been also found in wild animals in Vietnam and from there it enters the food chain through trafficking networks and animal farms supplying metropolitan restaurants. Here the question arises whether domestic and farm animals risk transferring coronaviruses to humans?
46 Species of coronavirus and Connection with Animals
There are 46 species of coronavirus in 5 genera, The genus Alphaletovirus has only one species, which was found in an amphibian. Two genera, Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus, mainly infect different types of bat. Some species in these genera can also infect other mammals such as camels, ferrets, rats, civet cats, mice, etc.
There are 7 coronaviruses that infect humans, form these seven, 4 species cause 15% of common cold infections. One of these coronaviruses (HCOV-HK1) is most closely related to the mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). MERS-CoV (causes Middle East respiratory syndrome) - it is thought to have jumped from bats to camels, and then to humans.
One species, Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, has two strains that cause serious illness: SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 (which causes COVID-19) - thought to have jumped from bats to another animal and then to humans.
Other then all these there are 100s of other strains that only infect other mammals, as per some study reports wild field rats and farmed rats in Vietnam were infected with coronaviruses associated with rodents, bats, and birds - but not humans.
Some research reports also reveal that wild rats have a much lower rate of infection than farmed and caught rats passed along the food supply chain. Multiple infections in one animal caused by farming, however, may help viral recombination and lead to new viruses. Two genera Deltacoronavirus and Gammacoronavirus mainly infect different types of birds including but not limited to chicken, goose, duck, bulbul, heron, moorhen, wigeon. One species was also found in a Beluga whale and another in pigs.
Birds and Animals that are at Risk
Animals that can catch the coronavirus
A dozen animals are known to be susceptible to the virus, the list includes Pet dogs and cats, captive lions and tigers, farmed minks. Additionally, Hamsters, rabbits, and common marmosets can also catch the virus. Reports show pigs are not susceptible, but more studies on animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, and horses. The same virus has also been found in some wild animals such as Tigers, Wolves, and wild dogs. It is expected that most of the animals who catch the virus are either live near humans or consumed any human concern.
Birds that can catch the coronavirus
Other than animals some birds also found infected from the same virus, these birds are chicken, goose, duck, bulbul, heron, moorhen, wigeon, etc. Thus birds who are normally staying near the residential areas are also at the risk of catching Coronavirus.
Can my Pet get the COVID-19 Virus?
All the research till now shows that the coronavirus disease or Covid-19 mostly spreads from person to person through droplets produced as a result of coughing or sneezing of an infected person. But some new reports and studies show that the Covid-19 can be transmitted through the air too, and it can also spread from people to animals and vice-versa.
COVID 19 belongs to a family of viruses known as Coronavirus. Most of the members of this family are limited to animals and birds but some viruses can cause cold-like illnesses in humans. And when the specific source of origin isn’t known, the culprit virus is believed to have begun with animals and then spread to humans and then spread between people.
Thus it is clear that the pets can get the COVID-19 virus, however, what will be the effect, and can they spread it from people to people? These questions are still answered.
How to Protect your Pet from the COVID-19 Virus
You can protect your pets from the coronavirus by avoiding your dog or cat’s interaction with people or animals outside your household. For example:
How to Protect Your Pets from COVID-19
Avoid going to parks or any public places with your pets where many people and dogs gather.
When walking your dog, ensure that your dog wears a leash and maintains a 6 feet (2 meters) distance between your dog and other people and animals.
Keep cats and dogs indoors when possible.
If you become sick with COVID-19 and have a pet then make sure to:
Isolate yourself from everyone including your pets. If possible, you can keep another person in your household to take care of your pet.
Avoid petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food or bedding with your pet.
If you take care of your pets or are around animals while you are ill, wear a mask, or cover your face. Wash your hands from time to time, before and after handling animals and their food, waste, and supplies. Also, make sure you clean after your pet.
What to do if your Pets become sick?
Testing is only recommended for animals or pets that show signs and symptoms and have been exposed to a person or animal that has coronavirus.
If you are feeling sick and having symptoms of COVID-19 and your pet also becomes sick, don't rush and reach the veterinarian yourself. Instead of it, contact the veterinarian and he/she will guide you and might offer advice through a virtual visit/ video call or come up with another plan for treating your pet.
How Can We Help?
As we stated above People and animals can catch coronavirus from others having the virus. The disease can be easily spread from person to person, person to animal, and vice-versa through small droplets coming from nose or mouth when an infected person coughs or exhales. These droplets also land on objects and surfaces and stay active for a few days. Thus disinfecting these surfaces is a very essential step to keeping people and pets safe from getting in contact with these viruses.
That’s where a company having powerful spray machines, robust resources, effective Alcohol-based Sanitizers and Disinfectants, and well-trained technicians come into action. We feature powerful spray and sanitizer machines which can make you Home and Office 100% virus-free.

It is now more than six months, and there is still no cure for the Covid-19 pandemic, people are locked behind doors, and employees are either forced to leave their jobs or continue their work for less than half of their salary. Back to back lockdowns have been imposed by the government all around the world but now people are on their own. And when there is no cure prevention is the only way to stay safe and keep your family safe.
Cleaning your home and office is a relatively straightforward task and almost everyone does it as per requirements. Cleaning becomes more important during the present time where a stubborn deadly virus is killing people without any discrimination. The virus is known as coronavirus and it is spread between people through direct, indirect, or close contact with infected people via mouth/ nose secretions, through contaminated objects or surfaces.
Thus to reduce the potential risk of getting infected, extra precautions must be taken to halt its proliferation. These precautions become more important if you run a consumer-facing business where employees and customers interact with each other in confined space.
Regular cleaning is not enough because these viruses exist on common everyday surfaces and they can survive from a few hours to a few weeks. Thus maybe while you are doing the cleaning you are actually spreading them.
Regular cleaning is not enough because these viruses exist on common everyday surfaces and they can survive from a few hours to a few weeks. Thus maybe while Today, Pest Control Corp as a reputed pest control company in Sydney wants to share some vital cleaning and hygiene tips that will keep your property bug-free and our tips will also help you reduce the spread of Covid-19.
How Does COVID-19 Spread?
The WHO has previously said that the virus that causes the COVID-19 respiratory disease spreads primarily through small droplets expelled from the nose and mouth of an infected person. But recently WHO acknowledged “evidence emerging†of the airborne spread of the novel coronavirus. However, there is nothing confirmed till now and research and studies are going on.
But it spreads primarily through small droplets expelled from the nose and mouth of an infected person. When these droplets land near the nose and mouth of another person, there is a chance that it can be inhaled into the person.
As we mentioned above, these viruses can remain on surfaces and can survive for up to a few weeks. As per some research reports, cardboards have the potential to incubate the virus for up to 24hrs and stainless steel and plastic surfaces can keep the virus active for up to 3 to 4 days.
The virus spreads easily and people are not aware that they’ve been infected. It is the main reason why everyone should uphold proper hygiene and cleanliness at home and office.
How to Prevent Covid-19 infection?
Some of the best hygiene and cleanliness tips to prevent COVID-19 spread are engraved below. Cleanliness not only keeps everything protected but pests also don’t prefer the clean areas much. Thus, you can hit two targets with a single arrow.
Social Distancing
After back-to-back lockdowns, many countries come up with guidelines in view of public safety and almost every guideline includes one common point “Social Distancingâ€. It is due to the fact that the respiratory droplets from the virus can travel approx 2 meters when someone talks, sneezes, or coughs. It is suggested that everyone has to maintain a distance from each other.
Social Distancing is the most basic and effective hygiene practice against coronavirus. You also have to wear a mask when going outside, it will lower the risk of being infected or infecting anyone else.
Personal Hygiene
Personal Hygiene is one more important thing you need to care about. There is no proof but there is enough evidence that this virus spreads through surfaces. Thus you have to maintain good cleanliness to keep yourself and everyone near you safe.
You can wash your hands frequently with soap and water around once every 20 minutes. Additionally, you can also use sanitizer and also don’t touch your face. Either cover your mouth and nose with a mask, or thick cloth or use the crook of your elbow when coughing or sneezing and avoid going outside if you are not feeling well.
External Disinfection
Viruses can survive for almost 7 to 10 days on hard surfaces but there are few chemical solutions that can eliminate them and make the surface clean again. And when it comes to hygiene cleaning then we can help you disinfect surfaces, external spaces, and outdoor areas using government-approved safe, effective, and eco-friendly formulas and spray machines.
Our Company features disinfectant spray and it is a powerful preventative measure against these killer viruses. We will not only clean your area but we will also apply and spray solutions that will disinfect the area and also last longer than others.
Routine cleaning
As we said earlier, cleaning is the most basic preventative measure you can take at your home and office but at present time residential and commercial premises need routine cleaning because nobody knows who is infected and which surface has these viruses.
Surfaces that are frequently touched such as taps, handrails, door handles need to be kept clean and disinfected. If it is a commercial place then these surfaces should be cleaned more often than others. For all these complicated and risky cleaning tasks you can contact us.
Hiring a Professional Company
Hiring a professional company having the proper equipment, safety gear, experience, chemicals, and expert staff, could be a lifesaver move for you and your family. They will keep each and every surface clean and disinfected and you don’t have to worry about anything other than personal hygiene and care. There are many disinfection service providers in Australia so find a suitable one and contact them today.
However, if you are searching for the best and most reputed pest control company then Pest Control Corp is here for you. We not only protect our customers from dangerous pests but we also deal with stubborn killer viruses. We have all the resources to clean and disinfect your site from top to bottom so what are you waiting for? Call us now.

Pests are harmful creatures and nobody wants these creepy creatures running around their home Most of the creepy crawlers are carriers of the fatal disease, germs, viruses and also bad smells. They not only spread diseases and infection but they also cause lots of damage to the structure of the buildings.
Some pests are also infamous for biting humans and animals. And that’s why almost everyone hates these creepy crawlers. If pest problems are very common in your area then there’s a range of pest prevention tips for homeowners that can reduce the entry of these creepy crawlers to an extent level. The most important thing is that you don’t have to spend much.
Rubber door stops
It is one of the most effective things that fill the gap beneath doorways, These are easily available at most of the hardware stores at very low costs. These Rubber door stops are a very effective method to prevent the entry of pests and vermin trying to get into the property. You can use these to fill the gaps between doors and even windows.
Remove Vegetation
Vegetation Against the wall edge is one of the most common causes of Pest Infection. This becomes a way to enter your house for Pests such as termites, cockroaches, ants and spiders. These creepy crawlers will use these vegetation as a bridge to enter into your premises. You need to trim down all the overhanging trees which can be used by pests into your property.
Vegetable Garden
Another thing is veggie gardens against the wall edge. People often build vegetable gardens right up against the wall edge of their homes. Now it may provide vegetables for a few meals but it also has two major problems. First garden and regular watering attract termites due to the moisture. And the second problem is that it is built at a position that covers weep holes in the brickwork. And if it happens then termites will get entry into your home’s structure which result into a considerable amount of damage. So to avoid damage to the structure you need to avoid building a Vegetable Garden.
Placement of Light Source
People often ignore the importance of placing light sources at correct places. As a Reputed Pest Extermination Company in Sydney, we always suggest people to place the light source at the appropriate position, never place them near the entry points such as doors and windows. It is also important to choose correct light sources because there are some type of light sources that attract pests and others don't, so you need to choose wisely.
Stop Wasting Money on DIY Solutions
As a Pest control company we spend a lot of time gathering knowledge about products which are available in the market. Because people often try to solve the issue on their own before calling us. Problems get worse when they end up buying something hazardous or having a lower dosage than the required.
Normally people don’t check details about these products before buying thus these products can take a week to take effect. During this period pests become dazed and confused thus any animal or even your pet can catch and eat them. It leads to pets becoming affected or even dying as a result.
In both case you will end up paying more than expected thus just by avoiding using market-based products you can save money.
Use Eco-Friendly Pest Control
Eco-Friendly Pesticides hits the pest control industries like Strome, all the previous methods or pesticides get vanished or replaced by the Eco-Friendly Pest Control solutions and pesticides. There was just one type of solution but now Pest control technicians are required to ask customers what type of pest control solution they want.
Before the introduction of Eco-friendly Pest control technicians were using powerful chemical pesticides and most of those chemical pesticides are toxic, have strong odours and can cause poisoning.
The Eco-Friendly Products are completely safe for human, environment, pets and non-targeted species. Additionally, it is also cheaper than the other methods of Pest Control.
Money-Saving Pest Control Tips
Regular Pest Inspection can save money in the long term, additionally, homeowners can save a lot of money if they catch the problem early at initial stage otherwise the cost of repairing your home structure will be higher than the cost of pest control treatment.
We are providing tips to prevent or eliminate some specific pests, so that you can follow thyme and prevent their entry in your home.
SilverFish
Clothes drawer and cluster of old papers, books, and newspapers are favourite places of SilverFishes. They love old things and clusters.
If Silverfishes are causing problems then Mothballs can deter them. We would like to inform you that mothballs won’t prevent or fix an infection So, use it before the infection takes place.
Wasps
Preventing the entry of wasps in the area is very difficult. They are of two types normally mud builders, and nest builders Finding them and treating them is hard. However, there is a product available in the market named “Wasp Freeze†that can be used to prevent the infection but the chance of being stung is also high. So choose wisely or call a pest control company.
Bees
Bee Control is completely different compared to what it was 10 years back. At that time normally pest control technicians were hired to spray pesticides to eliminate bees. But in all these years people, as well as technicians and pest control companies, become aware of the importance of bees and environmental changes.
Now there are also some environmental laws and these laws included most of the species of bees in the category of protected species. It is also mentioned that they must be removed by a professional beekeeper.
So if you have bees in your house or area call a professional beekeeper. Possums are also a protected species so only a licenced professional can handle the task of removing them from your property.
These tips will save you money by guiding you to take proper steps whenever required. Otherwise, the market is full of fraud companies who just want your money. For example, from now, you will contact Beekeeper for bee-related problems and similar for possums. This small change can help you to save some extra money and you will also get a solution in a budget because you will understand that there is no need for extra services.
