The ideal handwashing time is 30 seconds, but at least 15 seconds is recommended. 🕠

Termites, dubbed the "silent destroyers" possess a remarkable ability to feed on various cellulose-based materials, such as wood, without being easily noticed.

That’s why pre- and post-occupational cleaning from the industry specialists is highly recommended. 🧼

Cockroaches spend 75% of their time resting.🪳
This behaviour highlights their incredible adaptability and efficiency in conserving energy. By resting for the majority of their time, cockroaches can recharge and be ready for quick and agile movements when needed. This ability also comes in handy when there is no food because they can survive for long periods without food and water.

A female dust mite can lay between 60 to 80 eggs in its lifetime. In South Africa, we face a higher prevalence of these tiny pests due to our temperate and humid climate, which is perfect for their survival. Dust mites thrive in our bedding, furniture, and carpets, often going unnoticed until their presence becomes problematic.

These dust mites can trigger allergies and asthma, making it essential to regularly clean and maintain your living spaces to minimise their impact.

If you have been experiencing ants in the house during the winter months, its often because you have a colony living somewhere within the structure of your home. The colony could be situated inside a wall, window or door frame, ceiling, window sill or even the perimeter of the property. It could also be that they have woken up due to temperature changes.

Termites have evolved and sophisticated communication systems that make use of pheromones, vibration and even chemical signals to coordinate activities with the colony. This intricate network allows them to organise foraging expeditions, defend against predators and regulate colony growth.

Stop the spread by sanitising high-touch areas like door handles, countertops, and light switches to prevent the transmission of germs and bacteria. Knowing your home is thoroughly sanitised gives you confidence in your proactive health measures.
