Jansen Pest Control offers effective cockroach control services using proven methods to ensure your home, business, or any other space is cockroach-free. We operate in Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Dumaguete, providing customized solutions for every client.
The cockroach population thrives in areas where food, water and shelter are readily available. Cockroach control at the basic level therefore involves reduction or elimination of these components from the environment. Although it may seem impossible to completely eradicate cockroaches from your dwelling, you can always attain a certain level of control, so that very few of these insects are ever seen.
Cockroaches have changed very little in their 400 million years on earth. Because they evolved as scavengers of dead plant material, they prefer carbohydrates to proteins or fats. However, when they are hungry, they will feed on almost anything.
Our technician will complete a thorough investigation of your home before starting this service looking for signs of cockroach activity as well as discuss with you any concerns you may have on site. Our technician will service all crack and crevices with a flushing agent designed to kill roaches found on site during service, some of these areas will include your windows, skirting boards, cracks in tiles and kitchen cupboards. Other areas will have a cockroach paste applied to them, this paste will attract hiding roaches, these roaches will feed on this paste rendering them unable to reproduce and eventually dying.

Rat Control
Unlike roach control, which can be accomplished by spraying some chemical agents around the home, rat control requires a completely different approach. Rats are intelligent animals that can sense many types of danger and avoid it to stay alive. Handling a rat control problem can be a difficult pursuit if you do not know some successful methods of rat control
First Step for Rat Control is Sanitation, Inspection and Exclusion
Inspection is the first step in getting rid of rats. After the inspection, you know where to set traps or place bait.
Exclusion of all possible entry points is the next step in rodent control to get rid of rats.Exclusion will make it difficult for the rat to enter your home or structure. Rats are easier to exclude than mice. Mice can enter an opening as little as 3/8" wide. All openings greater that 1/4" should be sealed to exclude mice. For rats, all openings greater that 1/2" should be sealed.Next Step for Rat Control is Trapping or Baiting
Educational Guide to Rat Control by Jansen Pest Control
Rats are not only destructive pests but also carriers of various diseases, posing health and safety risks. At Jansen Pest Control, we provide expert rat control services to homes, farms, poultry facilities, piggeries, hospitals, and other establishments in Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Dumaguete. This guide explores the life cycle, habitats, breeding patterns, and effective rat control methods while distinguishing between common rat species.
Rat Life Cycle
Rats have a rapid reproductive cycle, enabling them to multiply quickly under favorable conditions. A typical rat’s life cycle includes:
-
Gestation: Female rats have a short gestation period of about 21-23 days.
-
Birth: Litters consist of 6-12 pups on average.
-
Weaning: Pups are weaned within 3-4 weeks.
-
Sexual Maturity: Rats reach reproductive age in 5-8 weeks, leading to frequent breeding cycles.
A single pair of rats can produce hundreds of offspring in a year, making prompt and effective control crucial.
Common Habitats of Rats
Rats are highly adaptable and thrive in various environments, including:
-
Homes: Kitchens, attics, basements, and walls.
-
Farms and Piggeries: Grain storage areas, feed troughs, and livestock shelters.
-
Poultry Farms: Nesting near chicken coops and feed storage.
-
Hospitals: Food storage areas and waste disposal zones.
-
Urban Areas: Sewers, garbage dumps, and abandoned buildings.
Breeding Patterns of Rats
Rats breed faster during warmer months due to abundant food and favorable conditions. However, they can reproduce year-round if they have access to food and shelter. Identifying and disrupting their breeding cycles is key to effective control.

HOUSEFLY CONTROL
Understanding Housefly Control: An Educational Guide
Houseflies, scientifically known as Musca domestica, are one of the most common pests worldwide. These insects are more than just a nuisance; they can transmit diseases by contaminating food and surfaces. Effective housefly control requires understanding their life cycle, habitats, and behaviors, as well as implementing proven treatment methods.
The Life Cycle of a Housefly
Houseflies undergo a complete metamorphosis, consisting of four stages:
-
Egg: Female houseflies lay their eggs in decaying organic matter such as garbage, manure, or rotting food. Each female can lay up to 500 eggs during her lifetime.
-
Larva (Maggot): Eggs hatch into maggots within 12-24 hours. Maggots feed on organic matter and grow rapidly.
-
Pupa: After about 5-7 days, maggots pupate in dry areas, transforming into adult flies.
-
Adult: Adult flies emerge from the pupal case, ready to reproduce within 24 hours.
The entire life cycle can be completed in as little as 7-10 days under favorable conditions, making houseflies a rapidly multiplying pest.
Habitats and Breeding Grounds
Houseflies thrive in warm and moist environments where food and breeding sites are abundant. Common habitats include:
-
Farms: Near livestock waste and manure.
-
Piggeries and Poultries: Due to decaying feed and organic matter.
-
Homes: Especially in kitchens, garbage bins, and compost areas.
-
Hospitals: Waste disposal areas and contaminated environments.
-
Food Markets: Rotting fruits and vegetables attract flies.
In the Philippines, houseflies breed prolifically during the fruit-bearing season (May to August), coinciding with the harvest of mangoes, bamboo shoots, and corn. These conditions provide ample food and breeding grounds.
Treatment Methods for Housefly Control
Effective housefly control combines sanitation, exclusion, and chemical treatments. Jansen Pest Control employs the following methods to eliminate flies and prevent infestations:
-
Application of Fly Baits:
-
Fly baits are strategically placed in areas with high fly activity. These baits attract and kill flies upon contact or ingestion.
-
-
Surface Spraying:
-
Residual insecticides are applied to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces where flies commonly rest. These sprays provide long-lasting protection.
-
-
ULV Misting (Ultra-Low Volume):
-
ULV misting involves dispersing a fine mist of insecticide to cover large areas quickly. This method is highly effective in reducing fly populations in farms, piggeries, and outdoor spaces.
-
-
Fly Traps:
-
Mechanical traps, such as sticky traps and electric fly zappers, are used to catch flies in homes and commercial spaces.
-
-
Biological Control:
-
In agricultural settings, parasitic wasps and other natural predators can help control fly populations without chemicals.
-
Prevention Tips
-
Maintain proper sanitation by disposing of garbage regularly and covering waste bins.
-
Clean up spilled food and liquids promptly.
-
Repair broken screens and seal gaps to prevent flies from entering buildings.
-
Ensure proper drainage and eliminate standing water.
