Top Three Pest Control Innovations and Devices in Vietnam

Besides pest behaviours and activity, advances in technology and environment are considered developing pest control solutions.

Firstly, there are more concerns about the harmful environmental effects of pesticides and pest control specialists have switched to using eco-friendly chemicals instead. Secondly, to develop different pest control services for residential and commercial spaces as they both have differing pest management needs. Thirdly, it is important to address pests’ intelligence such as rodents and pests’ chemical resistance. Finally, to help commercial customers and businesses undergoing heavy operation costs, pest management can be made green with energy savings. 

1. Pest Behaviours 

Rodents are curious and agile creatures that are constantly squeezing through the smallest gaps as they forage for food and shelter. Their intelligence and curiosity mean they’ll find a way in through any open entry points unless a building is securely proofed. 

Once inside, they’ll continue exploring and exploiting weak points in the structure, such as poorly fitted and damaged doors, frames and windows, roof and wall vents for central heating and gaps under doors and flooring material. They’ll make themselves comfortable and can quickly develop into an infestation that’s more challenging to remove.

Rodents can pose a significant risk to your business. They carry a wide range of diseases, can physically contaminate stock, damage building infrastructure and can ultimately have a negative impact on your business reputation.

There are many points of potential entry into a building for a rodent.

1. Gaps at the bottom of pedestrian doors
2. Via uncapped wall weep vents
3. Via gaps at the bases of loading docks
4. Gaps in the external cladding of buildings
5. Gaps, cracks and crevices in buildings
6. Gaps in expansion joints in floors

It is therefore vital that you have suitable and effective proofing measures in place, to help prevent the entry of rodents and reduce the risk of a rodent infestation developing on your premises.

Provides sustainable rodent-proofing solutions to help protect buildings internally and externally. By utilising hard-wearing, flexible and knitted steel mesh, Rentokil's rodent proofing solution provides impenetrable barriers that prevent rats and mice from entering your facility. 

2. Chemical Resistance

As dengue fever and Zika virus remain an ever-present threat in Vietnam, it is crucial that we deal effectively with its carriers - the Aedes mosquito. Besides water-based fogging, preventative measures can be taken to reduce the mosquito population in the earlier stages. Mosquitoes have grown their resistance to chemicals with insecticide sprays and fogging solutions. Thus, the challenges and difficulty level in eliminating mosquitoes increase. This is especially more challenging with the climate change where mozzies thrive better in warm conditions, while higher mosquito breeding sites are observed. There is a need to innovate the mosquito control in Vietnam, offering effective eradication of adult mosquitoes.

Biogents CO2

Get rid of mosquitoes with Biogents, the most innovative eco-friendly traps for indoor and outdoor use.

Biogents mimics the human skin odours to attract mosquitoes. The innovative trapping technology reduces 85% of mosquito nuisance and bites.

• Highly effective
• Scientifically proven method
• 100% Safe for people, animals and the environment
• Chemical free and non toxic patented bait

Cost Efficiencies

Firstly, the standard of living is increasing ranging from labour, materials, resources and utilities. This is especially for businesses running on intensive operating costs, require multiple premises or are zero-tolerant to pest infestation. This includes sectors such as food and beverage, industrial and manufacturing, facility management and food processing or pharmaceutical businesses.

To help better running costs, the Lumnia LED Fly Control is designed to not only enhance the quality and standard of fly control, but deliver energy savings. It utilises LED technology to lure and attract flies based on their sensitivity to lights. While helping to save energy consumption, it does not serve functionally only. Lumnia considers the aesthetics and decor, particularly for front of house, cafes and receptions that are public facing.

Adopt An Integrated Pest Management Approach

While pest control experts can enhance the standards of solutions in ridding pests efficiently, pest management requires integrated effort. Firstly, this includes adopting diligent and sound facility maintenance and housekeeping. Secondly, proofing the home to minimise pest entries is paramount to a pest-free home. Thirdly, consider treating a series of common commercial or residential household pests invading your premise. Fourthly, do not forget to keep checking your space for signs of pests or unusual presence of pest activities. Above all, consistent protection and prevention against pests can help put away the hassles and inconvenience arising from a pest infestation.  In summary, we should not rely only on the works of pest control experts. As pest infestation or recurrence can take place. While most factors are preventable or controllable, there are conditions require professional help. This include urbanisation, environmental and cross infestation that require professional help.
