REFORM OUR LIVES ...

SAVE THE EARTH

(Baguhin ang Uri ng Pamumuhay…..Iligtas ang Mundo)
 
Mother Nature is literally sick and needs help because of mankind’s abuses on her.
Storms, typhoons, earthquakes are frequently being experienced by us. It's time for
us to unite and help Mother Earth to recover and be saved from incoming disasters,
save our children and save our future.

 Invocation
Lord Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Our
God, please endow all of us the wisdom
that we need to understand everything
that we will discuss in this gathering. May
we all have good learning attitude and
remove all intellectual pride that will
hinder us from absorbing new insights
and help us to expand our knowledge.
May all that we learn from this gathering
be applied according to our individual
duties of states either in our profession,
work, individual endeavor and especially
our families. May the Blessed Virgin
Mary, all the angels and saints intercede
for us. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for
all the blessings that you are always
showering us, forgive us for not always
showing our gratitude for all these
blessings. We thank you for this
opportunity to share our knowledge and
experiences to be able to learn from one
another, Amen.

pose a threat to physical plant building
structures and facilities.
2. Rodents’ invasions that pose a threat to
our physical wellbeing because of the
numerous diseases they carry.
3. Snakes’ invasions that pose a danger to
our lives because of their poison which
can literally kill a person.
Ingasco Plant Showing Signs of Termites’ Invasion

Tanuan, Batangas
What are these insects that we consider as
pest? Where did they originate?

They are part of nature, the

word termite comes from
the root word “termes”
meaning “wood worms”. In
the rain forest, they are
very beneficial for cleaning
dead woods and turning it
into organic matter.

However, due to their natural activities, they affect physical plant

facilities which can lead to serious consequences if left unattended.
 What are TERMITES?
“Termes” or Woodworm
These pests with scientific name
Coptotermes originates from the
underground soil and passes
through the cracks of your
physical plant building’s perimeter
wall and creates termite mud
tunnels which serve as
superhighways of their foraging
workers, to penetrate physical
plant building premises and
destroy all materials with timber
cellulose like paper, cardboard
boxes, woods, clothes et. al. This
situation need not be
underestimated because
COPTOTERMES will cause more
damage in the physical plant
building structures and facilities if
left unattended.

As a result of excessive heat
brought about by the
congestion inside the colony,
termite reproductive swarming
is commonly experienced
during dusk prior to the first
rainfall of the season. Once this
reproductive termites start their
swarming, the royal mating
begin. The pairs that will
become successful will form its
new kingdom the moment they
find a suitable place in your Swarm Termites

During colonial starvation, worker
termites forage on dead wood
cellulose. This is to provide
nourishment to the queen and its
colony. In this stage, the focal point
of attack is commonly experienced
on fix door jambs, wall mounted
cabinets and ceiling wood frames.
This is the time where we can see
visible signs of wood warping

Why do we need to control termites to prevent them from
damaging physical plant building structures & facilities?

Termites come from the soil, pass through the

cracks of the perimeter wall and creates mud
tunnel to penetrate your premises and destroy
all materials with timber cellulose, like paper,
cardboard boxes, woods, clothes and others.
This situation needs immediate attention
because TERMITES will cause more damages if
left unattended. Termites cause more than a
billion pesos of damages to Filipino properties
every year. Worker termites do the damage.
They tunnel through the soil from their colony
to your premises. Sometimes you can see their
pencil-thin mud tubes on foundation walls. But
they’re likely to be hidden from view, running
through hollow blocks or gaps around pipes.
Most people don’t know they have termites until
extensive damage has been done. A full blown
colony of termites (hundred thousand to more
than a million) can eat several pounds of wood
and other cellulose–containing materials such
as paper, clothes, cardboard boxes etc. of your
property every week. They feed 24 hours a day
and leave a chemical trail for more termites to
follow.
Why do we have to control other pests that are
harboring or invading physical plant facilities?
The need to contain insect pests and rodents in our facility is to ensure not
only the proper run of our business but to secure our health and safety as
well. Mosquitoes as we all know are known vectors of diseases like Malaria,
Dengue, and H-Fever. Besides, their itchy bites can cause irritation and a
nuisance to our people. On the other hand, flies as well, pose great threats to
our business and health. Flies are very filthy and are known vectors of
disease carrying organisms. Diseases brought about by fly infestation are
Diarrhea, Dysentery and Cholera. Cockroaches as we all know carries
bacteria that may cause diseases like E. Coli for Gastroenteritis and
Salmonella which causes food poisoning. In addition cockroaches have a
displeasing smell and may cause contamination. Rodents are very
destructive, cause damage to our property and considered a threat to our
health as well. Due to their weak bladder, they urinate freely thus
contaminating food, utensils, and surfaces when they move around. Like any
other pests, they too are vectors/carriers of disease causing organism.
Examples of disease they may transmit are Salmonellosis, Leptospirosis, and
Ricksial disease. The need to contain them is a must for physical plant
facilities.

ROOF RAT - behavior can vary considerably and allows the
specie to readily adapt to its environment. Consequently, a
stereotype set of habits should be cautiously attributed to
the Norway rat. Generally, the Roof rat is considered a
climber and dwells in trees and rafters but it may frequently
be found on the ground. Generally, the Roof rat has two
peak activity periods; one within the hour following sunset,
and a second just before dawn. However, they can be
observed to be active all hours of the night, behaving
primarily as a nocturnal animal. Additionally, under high
population densities, a social hierarchy and competitive
feeding and breeding behavior will force some rats to seek
food and mates during the daylight hours. The smaller Roof
rat will coexist with the larger, stronger, and more
aggressive Norway rat.

 Body and genome
HOUSE MICE are light brown to black, with short hair and a
light belly. The ears and tail have little hair. Adults weigh
some 0.4 to 1.4 ounces (12 to 40 grams); their body
(including tail) is about 6 to 7.5 inches (15 to 19 centimeters
) long, with the tail usually accounting for a bit more than
half of it.
Summary: Physical Plant Facilities must be
protected against these factors that affects physical
plant management to ensure the safety of faculties,
students and staff. It is our responsibility as an
individual member of society and as part of our
duties of states to contribute in ensuring a safe and
sound working environment of our respective school
institution. It is our responsibility towards God and
our fellowmen. May God bless us and shower us with
wisdom.
