Mosquitoes — the number one killer

IT is common knowledge that Southeast Asians are highly tolerable to pests such as cockroaches, ants and other creepy crawlies.

In fact, some are even farmed to be eaten. But do you know those roaming freely in your home or the surroundings may not be safe as they could be carrying viruses, bacteria or parasites?

“As such, pest infestations can lead to serious problems including health consequences and even structural damages to the home. Therefore, homeowners are encouraged to have their homes professionally treated from time to time,” Rentokil Initial Malaysia managing director Carol Lam and technical director Juliana Soo tell TheEdgeProperty.com.
