How to get rid of PESTS inside the house?

[BSCN]

i can't find the thread in PEx anymore, medyo matagal na kasing napag-usapan iyon doon. anyway, nag-search ako kay BFF Google (effortness talaga at medyo naintriga na naman kasi ako) at ito ang ilan sa nakita ko:

sis aquacharly, cloth moths (AKA bag worms) nga sila... may tama ka! 

ka-derder iyung youtube vid, lol

[prish]

we have these too.. how to eradicate these? i see these cocoons too pero i only saw 1 cloth moth ever.. saan kaya sila nagtatago?

[sugar n spice]

ah clothe moth pala.

@BSCN thanks  Ngayon ko lang din nakakita nyan. Nasa isip ko kasi yung cocoon na made of clay (?). Palagi ako nakakakita ng ganon sa bintana at dinding namin pero bee-like naman yung lumalabas. Nakukyutan naman ako don. 

[BSCN]

@ prish: may link doon sa pinost ko, tips on how to control them. ako naman kasi mapa-cocoon pa lang o moth na talaga, hindi ko na pinatatagal. tiris o palo lang ng palad ang katapat 

[aquacharly]

Look behind your paintings -- they congregate there...  Na discover ko lang yan when I moved hanging paintings from the basement during Ondoy.

Now, BSCN -- assuming they morphed na, as in tapos na cocoon kad1ri stage and what?  they are now flying around and eating my drapes, clothes and upholstery? -- what can I do?  Wala nga akong makita ""moth"" on insectide sprays.

Hay naku, kainis ha. 

THANK YOU  for all the information.
Although, kasi sabi mo ""kaderder"" the photos -- late tonight ko na view after my dinner and snacks.  LOL

Nakakakita ko nito usually sa washroom namin. Wala naman on the other walls of our house. It's so icky to kook out and I was so suprised when I saw that it was moving!! 

Bakit kaya sa washroom lang namin meron? Ngayon tuloy every other day na ko nagpapalinis ng washroom.

[prish]

is it possible meron ito under the bed? wala naman kaming carpet. baka pagtingin under the bed there are hundreds of them na pala! hehe

[BSCN]

i think "soiled and stained" clothes lang ang target nila. so maintain cleanliness na lang, although dito naman sa bahay, super linis naman dahil may pagka-OC din ako pero nakakakita pa din ako nito, paminsan-minsan na nga lang ngayon unlike noong bagong lipat kami everyday talaga meron. iyung lumang baygon (lumang version iyung may mga pictures pa nga of different insects na kaya niyang ma-deadbol), alam ko pwede din sa moth iyon pero allergic kasi ako sa mga ganoon, sakit sa ilong. pag may naliligaw na insect dito sa loob ng bahay, hinahabol ko na lang then paluin using my hand or iyung electric racket... well, pag hindi na kinaya ng powers ako, nandyan naman my reliable kasambahay (with matching tili ako na "dali patayin mo na baka makawala pa!") 

[swtgrl_bee]

akala ko kami lang meron nito. kasi almost 25 years na kami dito sa bahay namin last month lang nagkaroon nito sa bahay after Ondoy din. tapos akala ko cocoon lang siya pero yung brother ko nakakita ng may uod na lumalabas. kadiri talaga siya. sana naman may way para mawala. kasi kakalinis lang ng wall kinabukasan meron na naman

if they're behind paintings, they could be anay, and not moths.  paintings usually have wood backings, and that's what anays love.  you could have had your house treated for anay, but not the paintings di ba... just my opinion, have these checked too.

Mga sis I have a problem with a huge rat sa condo namin. My hubby has set up a mouse trap na nilagyan namin ng food pero matalino siya and he wouldn't take the bait. I don't know what to do tuwing naiisip ko na may namamasyal na daga sa house namin at night kinikilabutan ako ang laki pa naman niya.

There's one big rodent inside the kitchen that hides under the ref or oven, and last night, 2 na sila! Don't want them celebrating Valentine's in our place and hope I could manage the situation before it gets worse!

My belgian has already killed 6 large ones (new formed hobby) outside (they come from the neighbors), and I don't want to depend on her and risk her health as well.

Please help??? TIA.
p.s. sticky paper won't work because ka-size nila un

1 house I lease out in Paranaque once had an infestation of rodents.  Well, hindi alert the tenants.  These rodents (sized like small cats?)  lived in tunnels in the vacant lot behind this house I rent out.

Now, when construction on that vacant lot started -- the rodents tunneled into this house and the tenants were helpless.  These practically ran over the first floor.. bit through the doors, made a lot of noises behind the walls etc. etc. etc.

MAPECON said these are "clannish".  And, if you do not fight back, they pass the word that .. ah puede dito sa bahay na ito.  Yuck!

The MAPECON set out baits and goodness!  Accdg to the tenants,  kaagad 3 biggies died together as in cuddled together in the concrete plant box by the back yard.  Doon pala nagumpisa their tunnel into the yard/house.

The MAPECON came several times a week, and set baits.  By the 3rd week, wala na.  The contract is for 3 months.  After the 3rd week, wala na.   

MAPECON said that if lalabanan mo those yucky creatures, they get the message that your place is hazardous or inhospitable.. and move elsewhere.

So there, be aggressive in eradicating them.
Then, go over your house well, and see that there are no entry points for these rodents or their smaller house mice relatives.

It is a big help too if you are vigilant about food storage... kung wala silang makain sa house mo, tapos ang bagsik mo pa (LOL) -- hahanap yan nang ibang  ma victimize na house.

I patronize Pest Away/Sentricon for termite control.  But nothing beats MAPECON when it comes to rodent/mousie control.

[chabelita28]

sis how much does MAPECON charge?

first time ako naka kita ng lamok na super dami talaga since we moved to pasig. sabi ng village namin it started daw Feb. before sunrise and when the sunsets nako pamatay talaga yung lamok sa labas ng bahay namin. in the afternoon you will see kids around the village may hawak pangontra sa lamok. akala ko nung una badminton racket. hindi pala 

help naman what to do. nag sspray na ako ng baygon but grabe hindi mamatay matay yung lamok. yung kids ko naka GIGA na and no bite lotion but pinapag fiefiestahan parin ng lamok. kakirita na talaga 

i am not sure if dito lang sa area namin to or if it is all over pasig. sana mawala na yung lamok na to...

^citronella plant sis.

Grabe ang daming tiny ipis here at home. Sobrang kinilabutan ako kanina kase nagtataka ako bakit lagi ako nakikita small ipis sa walker ng daughter ko. syempre mega disinfect naman ako pero ganun pa din ang dami. Yuck talaga, pagtingin ko sa mga gulong, ang dami dami dami palang small ipis na nakasiksik as in kinikilabutan ako while I was cleaning it. I really can't believe it. I tried pandan before pero ganun pa din, pag gabi pagsindi ko ng ilaw ang nagtatakbuhan sila. so i've been spraying baygon with blatanex sa mga sulok sulok. medyo nabawasan until nadiscver ko nga today kung san san nakasiksik yang mga ipis na yan. kakadiri talaga!!!! so far, I think baygon with blatanex is effective!!!

[honey_iya]

^lalo na yung baygon chalk, grabe naglalagay kami bago matulog paggising namin kinabukasan, nakakakilabot sa dami ng patay na ipis

[wonderland1]

[quennna]
