The Difference Between Vessel Pest Control & General Pest Management
Pest control catered for ships and vessels require a different level of expertise compared to general pest control servicing in singapore. This is because the environment that ships provide promotes certain kinds of pests to thrive, and worst, it encourages pests to be breed and transported to other countries.
Now, ships would require sanitation certificates and to adhere to the guidelines given by the international health regulations (2005) to be free from diseases. Each ship that goes into international waters needs to renew the sanitation certificates every 6 months. To get certified would mean that your ship is free from pest.
Other than performing integrated pest control, crews have to undergo training on ship sanitation. They should also be given the materials and equipment needed to maintain a certain sanitation level on the ship consistently. In addition, every consumables and materials going onto the ship have to be certified safe as well.

Common Pests Found On Vessels Ships
Cockroaches
When hygiene levels and food storage are not managed well, cockroaches will seek to enter the ship. They are experts in entering the cracks and the several entry points of a ship.

Rodents
Rats are one of the most common pests that can be transferred onboard. They tend to lurk in the kitchens in the ships and would scavenge in sewage areas and pipe systems.
Treatment Methods
- Mechanical proofing
- Appropriate use of rat repellents
- Bait and traps
Termites
A very common area of termite infestation is actually on areas around the pier and wood pilings. And thus would spread to the ship once the ship has left the port. It is difficult to detect this pest as they tend to live underground.
Treatment Methods

Flies
Flies tend to get into food supplies and are often carried into the ship. In addition, in the kitchen area isn’t well maintained, flies will also tend to breed extensively and make a big mess within the ship.
Treatment Methods

Bed Bugs
Bed bugs breed very quickly, and can be easily carried into the ships by a guest. When a ship does not go through regular cleaning and sanitising, it increases the risk of a bed bug infestation as well.
