Parcels and packages
How can they bring pests into your home?
Online shopping and parcel traffic are growing like never before, but few people think that pests can "arrive" with the parcel . Sometimes, just one visit is enough to start a problem in your home or office.
The most common pests that enter homes with parcels are:
-
Bedbugs are especially common in soft objects: clothes, furniture, bedding.
-
Cockroaches – hide in the folds of boxes, especially used ones.
-
Ants – can arrive with food or garden supplies.
-
Small wood pests – along with furniture, decorations, or shelves.
Why is this a problem?
-
Pests spread quickly - a small colony is enough to spread in a home or office.
-
It's hard to notice right away - "passengers" can hide in the corners of boxes.
-
Not only insects spread, but also bacteria and allergens.

Upon receiving the package, carefully inspect the box , edges, and seams.
