House flies are annoying when they get in your home and it is almost impossible to get rid of them. They can carry and spread germs and diseases. The most common bacteria they carry are salmonella, tuberculosis and typhoid. There are many things you can do to keep these annoying pests out of your home. They include: * Taking out the trash. Your garbage is a breeding ground for flies. Empty inside trash buckets regularly. If you throw away meat and other things that can rot, you should dispose of the food in a trash bag and immediately remove to the outside. Keeping thrown away food in your inside trash bucket can tempt these pests to enter your home. You should also keep your outside trash bins clean. Outside trash bins should have tight-fitting lids that remain shut. * Check your window screens. In spring and summer, you probably enjoy having your windows open. It saves on electricity because you are not running the air conditioner and helps you stay cool. However, make sure your window screens are in good condition. If you have holes in the mesh screen or they do not fit properly, these pests can come into your home. Read more »

Desratizacion is a Spanish term referring to methods of rat control. Tactics used to control rat populations are very important because these creatures are dangerous in more way than one. They can and will bite people if they fear being harmed. They also carry disease in their bites and in their very presence. The bubonic plague that decimated the population of Europe several centuries ago was brought by rats who carried fleas that spread the disease. Rat Characteristics Rats are one of the larger members of the rodent family Muroidea. They are characterized by their thick long tails. Including this tail brings their average length to somewhere between 12 and 18 inches. They are typically brown in color although this color can vary in specific animals. Rats will eat nearly anything they can find but they prefer meat and fresh grains. They can climb walls in order to reach food and have been known to squeeze through openings that are less than a half-inch wide. Their average lifespan is only eighteen months but in that time a female rat can have several litters of almost a dozen young.
