Fumigating Your Way to Health, Wealth - By Stanley Opara
Imagine the embarrassment that one faces when rodents or insects choose to pace around in the living room or office apartment
while a guest is being hosted.
Rats, cockroaches and others belonging to that class obviously lack the courtesy to know when to stay away from public glare.
No doubt, they also love to co-habit in nice looking places if permitted, reason why some cozy, but seldom fumigated office
apartments still play host to them.
A simple opinion poll shows that a lot of people have once fallen victim of playing host to these unwanted guests.
It is, therefore, essential to adopt a deliberate and consistent measure towards keeping the unwanted tenants off.
Environmental experts add that keeping pests not only constitutes social disgrace, but also has negative health and economic
implications for people.
In the bid to provide solution to this menace, a sizeable number of Nigeria�€™s population has been exchanging expertise for
money through consultancy and janitorial services.
The Chief Executive Officer, Yaresh Cleaning Services, Mr. Ola Kazim, says the challenge is significant as it affects people
of different categories; whether the rich or poor.
He describes pests as generally including flying and crawling insects, as well as other animals such as reptiles and
microbes.
Kazim says the need for pest control continues to generate concerns as human population increases.
These unfriendly friends feed on food remnants and dirts. The rate at which their population multiples is alarming,
especially if not controlled at the right time. And this level of multiplication is what facilitates their penetration.�€
He cautions that if the problem is not nipped in the bud, it costs more and becomes more tasking to get rid of them at a
later time.
He, however, adds that the fact that pests generally develop at a geometric rate ironically provides a wide business
opportunity for the solution providers.
An environmental consultant, Mr. Henry Iloba, says apart from office apartments and homes, the challenge of controlling pests
in external environments poses more problems.
