Charlotte's Web- pest control cleaning in houses

Blood sucking insects are always headache, not only they produce annoying itchness, but virus and disease. So pest control has never seemed to be so crucial as today.

To be able to control them effectively, we really need to understand what makes them better for breed. Just as any pregnanted mums, they need food, temperature and safe enviroment( undisturbed). Many hosehold bugs actually shares common food with human being , apart from blood sucking . In general sense, most insects becoming reactive from spring, yet, not to be neglected , some of them do breed throughout the year, especially when air-conditioning is around nowdays everywhere. So thourough cleaning is regular way of controlling the bugs . These jobs are however, simple but generally need sense of responsiblity. People generally neglect the contribution of responsible cleaners , and they have never become so precious like today. A reliable cleaner seem to be the first soilder of front line of health, while irresponsibly "pretty' cleaners gain jobs easily however hardly caught for potential disease spreading around corner.

A few details for household and hotels to check up especially, and they are the keys for controlling the pests. They are also guides for travelers.

1> Corners

Down inside are generally undisturbed place for breeding, and food may remains much longer without discovery thus provide perfect enviroment for bugs.

It takes a responsible vacumn cleaner. A complete vacumning can simply suck everything in even they cannot be seen. The method in the corner are just so simple.- Take off the head of the vacumn and suck through the line along the wall.

Food however can be much easily visible than the eggs of bugs. And they generally pose very active sign for cleaning.

In hotels, the hidden parts are generally where the beds are against the wall. And it's most rarely cleaned, and is the margin of quality of cleaning.

To make job much easier, my suggestion is to always leave certain space between furnitures and the wall, so it's very easy to examine and clean.

2> Corners between rooms

We can simply explain how naturally bugs are led from one room to another. They can be intentionally led by food.

Sometimes you can see the tiny food traces along the line of walls between two rooms, if you are careful enough- this is the quiet place that easy to neglect. However may be a great avenue for bugs despite over traffic of human beings on corridor.

What may equally forget, is floor and walls on balconies between rooms.

3> Doona and pillows

More frequently washed are the covers. But if lice or bed bugs are found in the room, people always found it less work while washing the cover. The reason is the doona and pillow still provide more space.

However , it's not sunshine can clean up. It needs wash up, spray or scents to repel them.

Lavender , as its pleasing fragrance and insect repellent function, is the first choice. Other effective herb or scents can be found in one of the blogs.


4> Kitchen

As a common place for food, it's obvious. People simply need to check around, for food traces. What easy to be neglected are the seams under stoves or other equipment and furniture, and fridge. And all cutlery handling areas .

Details are generally negelected by eyes. However is the margin of quality cleaning.

Many insects can hatch from eggs to larva in 1-2 weeks. So take that in mind, thourough health safety cleaning should be happen once every week.

In the other hand, many wealthy household and hotels do hire specailised cleaners. And that's why their quality of service and responsiblity has become very important today.

For management level, there's several suggestions

1> Set standard

Luckily enough, all are not hard in skills , but need responsiblity. And the common sense is, if you don't tell people to do, they may just skip it. So the result could be, outside may look OK, but you don't know where the bugs from really.

2> Examine regularily

Targeting at pest control, these details are exactly what we need, not more, not less. You might see some pick up on unecessary things, but these are tricks- they will not be effective.

Examine is general tool to control quality and know performance of staffs.

It will provide basic guide line on procudures. From judgement to notification and to further handling.

In the other hand, you would find those not interested in quality service may noy just "pretty" girls. Anyway, this is not a good time. That means there's always be large workforce on the market who's expecting to seriously feed their family.

Other method for management including

1> Use detail cleaning on very definit tasks

2> More focused cleaning each day taking a week as period

These methods are taken while details may lengthen the time for regular cleaners. In the other hand, frequent cleaning of the standard may take much less time than less frequent work.

Then either using extra detailed cleaner taking special care of these key spots, or require the regular cleaner to do less quantity but better quality work to cover all details in turn within 7 days for effective health control.


Other management method also including

Arrangement of shifts and rosters

Arrangement of contents and works

These tools generally provide lots flexibility and space for necessary management. However, serves their real intention. As I did witness some bad management take them as flexibility to serve evil interest and shift responsibility. Or , if people are smart they can use otherwise.

Generally speaking, frequently changing rosters and shifts are easy excuses for shifting responsibility. Contrarily, more fixed tasks with less people involved provide more responsibility to individuals.

Increase or decrease contents of workload compare to the time, simply have a thousand versions, and all excuses can happen.

The problems are, we have seen so many use them to serve very bad interest or even weakness, but rarely for healthy purpose. And funny thing is, nowadays, sometimes there's time for people to fear more of risk when they are clean.

When I worked in a cafe, I just didn't understand why the boss busy buying bleach instead of using disinfectants. The difference is bleach make somethings looks cleaner, but disinfectant make something really cleaner. A smart boss should simply tell any staff to use that bottle, telling them that's bleach when it's factually disinfectant really, if necessary. And I believe that's very much the difference of cover and nature.
