Pests the most terrifying creatures


All was going perfectly well when one day I decided to place and rearrange my clothes and organize my closet as there was no room for anything else in it except for the improvised and tangled clothes piled one on top of the other. Yes it was a hectic job. I started emptying the closet from the right end, moving to the left side and then to the top of the closet and finally as I emptied the bottom of my closet I heard some creepy noises. I looked here and there, but there was nothing around me. I positioned my ear close to the back frame of the closet and heard something moving. I stood up and noticed the chipboard was detached in a very odd way. And it looked hollow as well.
I found the back side of my closet had white tubes and my cupboard was off to the attack of white ants, the termites! The sight was horrible. But the damage has been done. The wood sounded hollow and the tubes were apparently large and long enough and covering almost half of the cupboard from the back. Then I realized that few days back I noticed some strange looking insects in my drawer but I didn’t pay much attention to them as I was getting late for work, as usual.  They were the termites, I realized now.
It was a hectic job to go through all my clothes if they have ruined the fabric or not. I called the pest controller team from High Tech Pest Control company Perth, and the team of technicians and specialized pest controllers along with their specially designed equipments arrived in no time at my place right after my first call. They inspected the pests’ colonization on the cupboard and then the other wooden commodities to conclude whether some more timber is prone to attack or even under attack of termites.
After preliminary inspection, and suspecting the altering habitat, they moved to their specialized machine guns and started loading rather filling them with chemicals and pesticides sprays. I was tensed the strong odor of chemicals won’t go away easily, but after spraying my closet and other wooden cabinets etc the odor did not last for long as the chemicals used were synthesized. It was surprising.
On leaving, the team of pest controllers gave me a small booklet that described the methods of ridding pests and assured me about the follow up. I marked the date on the calendar for the next pesticides campaign at my house on the booklet provided to me by them. Now this is essential. All is acceptable but the hidden white ants, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, red ants etc are so creepy that even the sight of them is excruciating!
