Pests defined as those creatures which have a negative impact on the building or house, they are present in and can even reduce the quality of life for the residence of the said building or house. These pests can be extremely hard to detect in the early stages of the infestation and can only be detected at very late stages of the infestation where the numbers of the pests have significantly increased which means that there has been an exponential growth in the number of pests that are present in the house or building. Some of the more common varieties of pests that are often found in buildings or houses are cockroaches, termites, rats and other spiders or rodents. These can have an extremely negative impact on the structure of the house or building and even the health of the residents that are residing in the said building or house. Ultimately, if the quality of life needs to be good for the residents involved, then it needs to be made sure that there are no pests in a building or house where people reside.

Due to the nature of the pest infestations, it is extremely hard to identify infestations at the early stages where the number of pests is extremely low and they are hard to spot in the building or house. This natural phenomenon is often exploited by people who are looking to sell their properties which have pest infestations. They will often cover up these infestations in the early stages where it is hard to detect the presence of these pests. This means that potential buyers will be aware of the problem that they will have with infestations that may increase exponentially as soon as they move in to the new house. Owners of the house usually do this because an infestation in a house usually results in a lower market value for the house and can even drive away customers who are looking to buy the property.
