"Hai Harry this is your blog reader from so and so and wanted to asked you something. I visited my new BH today and saw a number of bird shit spots on the floor and there were many young cockroaches eating them. May I know what should I do?".
"Harry this is Miss D who talked to you two days ago. I am now in my BH and you know what? I saw those wood dust on the floor and I think the nesting planks were invaded by some kind of insects. Can you advise what should be done?".
Two different calls with two different issues.
Both have something related to the invasion of insects that can do harm to your BH.
The first call have to do with a kind of roach that love to eat bird droppings. I saw this in my own BH. If you observe carefully they might not be a house cockroach but they might be those that came together with those fresh bird shits that you brought in for the aroma purposes.
Small in size and black in color. They do not have any wings on them.
The second call have to do with those wood beetles that love to eat your wood. If you do a proper check, there will be a number of pin size holes on those affected wood that were where those wood dust on the floor are coming from.
These beetles lay their eggs on the wood and once the egg turned into crawling sibling they will eat their way into the wood. They will fatten themself,pupate and transformed into beetle to start the egg laying cycle.
One more thing that you might need to check are those spiders. If there are any spider's cob, there are these small creatures. Their cobs are not well like by your tenant. You need to kill all of them, if you can.
There are many more six legged creatures found in your BH and most of them need to be flushed or destroyed. Well those fruit flies are okay.
The best method to resolve these issues is to apply, on a regular basis, a non harmfull, odorless and effective chemicals on the wall of your BH. I prefer Fendona from BASF. If you have other alternative please place in the comment page on this article.
You should apply them on a three months basis and place this routine as one of the maintenance scope of work on the BH.
