Housing hygiene, environmental hygiene-related business, etc.

In recent years, health hazards such as headaches and dizziness (so-called sick house syndrome) caused by formaldehyde contained in housing building materials, and allergic symptoms such as mites and mold have become social problems.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any problems with the following. I advise you on a healthy and comfortable way of living.

• New construction and renovation made my eyes flicker and my head hurt.
• I'm worried about mite allergy
• I'm in trouble because there is a lot of mold
• I don't know how to get rid of rats and insects that have occurred indoors.

• In the hornets and paper wasps, the queen bees who had hibernation in the spring began to nest, the number of worker bees increased steadily, the number of bees and the size of the nest increased from summer to autumn, and the nest died in the cold except for the queen bees in winter. The nest becomes empty. There is no reuse of the nest.
• Bees winter without death even in winter.
• As the number of bees increases, it is difficult to get rid of them, so it is important to deal with them as soon as you find a beehive.
• Please contact us in advance as Environmental Sanitation Section provides information on how to deal with each bee and how to get rid of them.
• If you don't know the type of bee, please contact us.

In Environmental Sanitation Section, we provide consultation on the control of pests and rats, as well as lend free baskets (rats for rats). If you would like to borrow equipment, please apply by phone or other means.

Adult mosquitoes often hide in thicket of trees and in the grass and lay eggs in ponds and puddles. In residential areas, it occurs in rainwater trout and flowerpot trays.
If you are suffering from mosquito outbreaks every year, regularly check the area around your house to eliminate places where water accumulates.

• Ecology of mosquitoes
  Eggs lay on the surface of the water. The number of spawnings, depending on the type, produces dozens to hundreds at a time.
  The larva hatched from the eggs live in the water for one or two weeks and become adults.
  Adults live for about a month, but during this time female mosquitoes repeat the cycle of sucking blood and laying eggs up to four times.
• Measures
  Mosquitoes do not occur without water. Eliminating the puddles of the source is an effective measure to control the occurrence of mosquitoes.
  Places where water can easily accumulate include rainwater trout, flowerpot trays, pumping water, buckets and old tires, bamboo stumps, empty cans, etc.
  Rainwater trout can prevent the occurrence of mosquitoes by sprinkling the surroundings about once or twice a week for the summer watering, and replacing rainwater in muddy areas. Discard accumulated water such as flowerpot trays at least once a week.
  Let's aim to create an environment with few mosquitoes by eliminating familiar puddles.
  In order to prevent mosquito bites, it is possible to use screen doors, reduce skin exposure, and use mosquito coils.
  Adult mosquitoes are lurking in the grassyab. It is effective to cut the garden regularly and prun the garden trees.
• Extermination by insecticide
  In places where the source cannot be removed, insecticide is used. Carefully examine the required place and amount, and when spraying, use appropriate environmentally friendly usage and dosage. The effect does not change even if you spray a large amount or spray a drug with a strong concentration.
  Also, as a preventive measure, sowing medicine to places where bowl hula does not occur is not a correct way to use it. Adult mosquitoes that have occurred should be exterminated using smoke agents, pyrethroid sprays, mosquito coils, etc.
