CAR FUMIGATION SINGAPORE

• Brown Banded Cockroach in Car

  Size:
  Brown-banded cockroaches are relatively small, measuring about 10-14 mm in length, making them easy to hide in small spaces inside cars.

   

  Appearance:
  These cockroaches are light brown with two distinctive horizontal bands across their wings and abdomen. They have long antennae and are typically lighter in color compared to other species.

  Life-Time:
  The life span of a brown-banded cockroach ranges from 130 to 150 days. During this time, they can multiply rapidly if left untreated.

  Maturity to Breed:
  Brown-banded cockroaches reach maturity and start reproducing in about 50-100 days after hatching. They prefer warm environments, which makes car interiors a perfect breeding ground.

  Number of Cockroaches per Egg:
  Each female brown-banded cockroach lays an egg capsule (ootheca) containing 14-18 eggs. These capsules are often hidden in dark and secure locations, such as car seat cushions or crevices.

  Description:
  Brown-banded cockroaches are one of the most invasive pests commonly found in vehicles. They thrive in warm, dry environments, feeding on a variety of items such as food crumbs, leather, and even book bindings. Their small size allows them to infest vehicles and remain unnoticed for long periods, leading to a severe infestation if untreated.

• Tropical Black Ants in Car

  Size:
  Tropical black ants are medium-sized, typically measuring around 3 to 5 mm, small enough to easily enter cars through small openings.

   

  Appearance:
  They are black or dark brown in color, with smooth, shiny bodies. Like other ants, they have three distinct body parts—head, thorax, and abdomen—and elbowed antennae.

  Life-Time:
  Worker ants can live for several months, while queens may live for years. The colony grows rapidly, especially in a confined space like a car where food may be available.

  Maturity to Breed:
  Queens start reproducing a few weeks after settling in a new area, and a colony can become established quickly if conditions are favorable.

  Number of Ants per Egg Batch:
  A queen tropical black ant can lay several hundred eggs in her lifetime, with batches of around 10-20 eggs at a time. The colony will increase as these eggs hatch and mature.

  Description:
  Tropical black ants are drawn to food residues inside vehicles, especially sweet or greasy substances. Once inside, they can establish nests in hidden areas like door panels, air vents, and seat crevices. They may seem harmless individually, but their colonies can lead to significant infestations, requiring professional intervention to eradicate them from vehicles.

• Asian House Lizard (Hemidactylus Frenatus)

  Lizard in Car

  Size:
  Asian house lizards, also known as common house geckos, typically measure around 7 to 15 cm in length, including their tails. Their small size allows them to slip into cars through open windows or small gaps.Appearance:
  They have a light brown to greyish body, often with darker mottled patterns. Their skin is rough, and they have large, sticky toe pads that allow them to climb walls and surfaces, making them adept at hiding in vehicles.Life-Time:
  Asian house lizards live for about 5 years in the wild. In enclosed environments like cars, their life span can be shorter due to limited food and water sources.Maturity to Breed:
  These lizards reach reproductive maturity at about 6 to 12 months of age. Once mature, a female can lay 1-2 eggs multiple times a year, leading to the potential for a small infestation inside a vehicle.Number of Lizards per Egg Batch:
  Females typically lay small clutches of 1 to 2 eggs. These eggs are often hidden in protected areas such as car air vents, under dashboards, or behind seat cushions.Description:
  Asian house lizards often enter cars in search of food, such as insects like cockroaches or ants. Once inside, they can hide in tight, dark spaces like under the seats, inside air conditioning ducts, or even in the trunk. While they don’t pose a direct threat, their droppings can cause foul odors and stain car interiors. Their presence can also indicate a larger insect infestation, which is their primary food source. Professional pest control may be needed to remove both the lizards and their food sources from the car.
