Infection

Infection, in the context of pest control, is synonymous with an infestation or encroachment of pests in a specific environment, such as your home, garden, or business premises. Recognizing an infection is the initial step in a systematic pest management strategy, it involves identifying the existence of harmful organisms and determining the extent of the problem. The process may necessitate professional pest management services, such as Orkin or Terminix, to ensure effective detection and treatment. Notably, an infection does not always imply an overwhelming number of pests, even a single pest, like a termite or a rodent, can cause significant damage, endangering both property and health.
