Before we answer whether pesticides harm pregnant women, here is how we work:

• We use professional pesticides chosen to act quickly on the insects and to lower the chance of them coming back.

Do Pesticides Harm Pregnant Women?

Many women ask whether pesticides can affect a pregnancy. Here is what our technical team advises:

• A pregnant woman should not use pesticides herself during pregnancy, so the baby is not exposed to the strong smell that ordinary pesticides give off.
• Before you hire any pest control company, ask which products it will use and how strong their smell is.
• At Elalmanya Biology, we tell you in advance which products we will use in your home and how we will apply them.
• Tell us before the visit about children, pregnancy, older relatives, allergies, asthma or other chest conditions, so the technician can plan the treatment around them.
• Most important: we advise the pregnant woman to stay out while the place is being treated. When she can go back into the treated rooms depends on the product and how it is applied, and the technician will tell you before leaving.
• Tell us about pets too, and ask the technician how long they should be kept out of the treated rooms.
• If you have questions about how a product affects the environment, ask us before the visit and we will explain what we plan to use.

Pest Control Steps

Now that you know our advice for pregnant women, here is how Elalmanya Biology carries out a pesticide treatment:

Inspecting the Place

• We send an inspection team to the place to see which types of insects are there.
• Our specialists decide which pesticides will deal with the insects found.
• The team also checks how far each type of insect has spread.

Sanitizing Before Spraying

• The sanitation team cleans and sanitizes the place well before any spraying.
• They remove all the droppings and debris the insects have left behind.

Spraying the Pesticides

• Thermal-imaging technicians find where the insects gather, then the spray team treats those hot spots first.
• Next, the team sprays every corner of the place and the spots you can't see.
• The kitchen and bathroom get careful treatment, because these are the rooms where insects spread most easily.

Checking the Work

• A supervisor who comes with the team checks the quality of the work.
• The thermal-imaging technicians also check that the insects inside the walls and in their hiding spots have been dealt with.

Sanitizing After Spraying

• The sanitation team removes the dead insects right away and clears away what they left behind.
• Any furniture that was moved goes back to its place.
• The team sanitizes any furniture it had to touch while spraying.
• The whole place is sanitized thoroughly, and a disinfectant is sprayed to kill germs.
• The team leaves, and our call team contacts you afterward to check that you are happy with the work.

Pest Control Prices

Our team's answer for pregnant women, children and older relatives is to keep them away from the area while it is being treated. As for the price, it is set by the inspection team we send to your place, based on these factors:

• The inspection team looks at the size of the place and the number of rooms and floors.
• The types of insects are one of the main reasons prices differ, because each type needs a different pesticide.
• The number of workers needed for the job is another main factor in the price.
• We explain the price once the inspection is done, so you can decide before any work begins.
• If you need regular treatments through the year, ask about our contract plans.
• Call +201007892200 to book your visit.
