We remove pests of
all shapes and sizes
Ants
Ants are quite problematic, either in a residential or commercial property. Ant infestations can be quite a nuisance both indoors and outdoors. If you can find the nest, it will make your elimination job a lot easier as you can deal with it directly. If not, you will have to use sprays, dust, and baits. These will take longer, but if you use them as they should be used, they will still have a good effect. When using ant baits, you must identify the ant species so you can use the correct bait. While ants don’t pose an immediate threat like rodents or stinging insects do, they shouldn’t be welcome. If you’ve found ants in your home or business, you should react as quickly as possible. Without immediate action, a small ant problem could spiral into an infestation. Our pest control specialists will help you get rid of the ant problem, no matter how serious it is.
Spiders
Sydney is home to some of the world’s most dangerous spiders, including the funnel-web spider and redback spider. In most cases, common sense and regular pest control will help keep you safe from spiders. However, some spiders may pose a threat as their bites are extremely painful and potentially fatal. The truth is, Aussies aren’t new to the spider epidemic, especially since the rainy season contributes to the problem. One of the worst things about spiders is that they have a penchant for showing up in places you least expect them to be. We have treatment options to rid the spiders from the property, including all-natural pesticides if you prefer Eco-friendly options. We’ll also discuss each of the spider treatment options and their pros and cons to help you better decide which option is best for your needs.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are associated with poor hygiene, filth, and dirt. Their feeding and nesting mean they can ingest and carry various pathogenic microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, viruses which can contaminate surfaces, food, packaging and lead to food products deterioration or illnesses. Cockroaches can spread various diseases. The main types of cockroaches in Australia are the Australian cockroach and the German cockroach. Most cockroaches rest in cracks and crevices and hide in the security of enclosed surfaces. They are an incredibly resilient pest that seems almost indestructible. They can contaminate food products, utensils and various areas with droppings and skins. Some people may be allergic to cockroaches and develop skin irritations or asthmatic problems. With a reputation for being dirty and unhygienic, nobody wants to be associated with a cockroach problem. For this reason, we operate with absolute discretion to protect your image within the local community. Our fast results will also help contain the problem and minimize the amount of damage caused.
Crickets
Although crickets don’t pose physical threats and rarely do they spread diseases, it doesn’t mean that they are completely harmless. Depending on the cricket species, they might damage your clothes, books, and other chewable objects, or they could ruin the plants in your garden. And the worst part about crickets? Their chirping. It doesn’t matter if there is only a single noisy cricket somewhere in your attic or whether there’s plenty of them in your entire house – the sound could quickly get infuriating. If you get in touch with our pest control specialists, you’ll find out that getting rid of those insects isn’t impossible.
Termites
Termite infestations cause property damage. Not only are these pests destructive, but they are also incredibly stealthy. Often by the time a termite infestation has been detected, a lot of the damage has already been done. The best way to combat termite damage is to be prepared and prevent it in the first place. If you believe you have termites or want peace of mind that your property is free of this pest, then you should seriously consider a termite inspection. Termites are notoriously challenging to get rid of; if they believe that the queen is under threat, she will be taken deeper down into the tunnels. This could result in the termite workers causing devastation to another area of your home. You’ll also need to use different treatments for different types of termites. This is why the expertise of a pest control service with a proven track record is the best route to take.
Silverfish
Silverfish have flat, elongated bodies 8-mm to 1.9-cm long and broad near the head, tapering toward the rear-somewhat “carrot” shaped. These fragile, wingless insects are covered with scales and have two long, slender antennae at the head and three long, antennae-like appendages at the rear. Treatments need to be applied thoroughly to all potential hiding places such as cracks, crevices, inside floor mouldings, around steam and water pipes, in and behind seldom moved furniture, closets and even attics. It may be necessary to drill small holes in the walls to treat large populations in wall voids. Control may not be immediate since silverfish in wall voids must move out and contact the insecticides. It may take 10 to 14 days.
Mosquitoes
Even in the absence of disease transmission, mosquito bites can result in allergic reactions producing significant discomfort and itching. In some cases, excessive scratching can lead to bleeding, scabbing, and possibly even secondary infection. Children are very susceptible to this because they find it difficult to stop scratching. Female mosquitoes can produce a painful bite during feeding, and, in excessive numbers, can inhibit outdoor activities and lower property values. Mosquitoes can be a significant burden on animals, lowering productivity and efficiency of farm animals. If you’re experiencing problems with these pests, then our team can provide the solution you need.
Bees/Wasps
Wasps and bees are quite similar. However, pest control for wasps and bees are quite different. Sometimes, bees and wasps may build their hive too close to your house or your business, and this is something that can’t be ignored. They are incredibly protective of their homes, so they may attack anybody who approaches it. No one wants to be bombarded by them, especially since allergies to insect stings are common. As a result, bee and wasp pest control can be done by pest control professionals quickly and safely.
Rats/Mice
Once rodents enter your property, it can be tough to get rid of the infestation. Rats and mice can be a nuisance and can create an unhealthy living environment for you and your family by being carriers of diseases and parasites. If you discover that there are rodents, such as mice, on or on your property, then it’s pretty bad news, as they won’t leave it easily. Some people think that mice look sweet, but they can damage your house, cause fires, and even transmit deadly diseases. Rodents such as mice are smart, agile, and they multiply extremely quickly – that’s why you must take care of the problem before it gets more serious. Thankfully, even if you are dealing with a severe rodent problem, you can contact our pest control company, and our professional technicians will take care of this issue.
Possums
Possums are common pests that have caused some immense household and health-related problems all throughout the country. They are night-time creatures that regularly take shelter in house rooftops or ceilings and gardens and are so natural to breed and multiply. They can live and thrive in various areas and are found nesting inside house walls and closets for the most part. They also eat whatever that they can get simple and easy access to. These animals are considered as pests as they have the reputation in causing tremendous problems at home like biting off electrical wiring, damaging roof protection, and tainting areas with their faeces and urine. However, possums are a protected species, which means you need to be careful about how to evacuate them. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to remove these pests on your own as that can lead to injuries and other such problems. Therefore, the most ideal approach to manage the situation is by hiring a possum removal expert.
Birds
Birds are considered pretty and harmless creatures. Birds can be a beautiful part of our natural environment, but that beauty can be ruined by populations of pest birds that damage homes and property with their droppings — which can spread diseases – and disturb our peace with their noisy vocalisations. A couple of birds visiting your property occasionally is not particularly a cause for concern. However, if you notice increased amounts of insect activity or that you have several birds that seem to stay at your property, then you have a bird infestation. Birds will attract fleas, flies, cockroaches, and even mice. Birds may seem harmless, but they can host more than 60 transmittable diseases. Birds can become aggressive and assault the employees or customers, particularly when it is their breeding season when they are shielding their young. If you have birds nesting of your property, you must make sure that you either monitor the situation and prevent it from happening in the future or expel the bird and encourage them to find another home. The key to dispose a bird infestation is doing an early detection and effective bird deterrent procedures performed by a pest controller expert.
Moths & Flies
Flies are not merely pests you can ignore. Flies are disease carriers, and some diseases they carry can be fatal to humans. They carry diseases such as typhoid, cholera, diarrhea, and dysentery. It’s essential to keep flies away from your food to avoid contamination. It’s important to identify the species present in your property and to know whether you need to target larval or adult populations.
Australia has an astounding 22,000 species of moths, with only around half of these given scientific names. With two pairs of wings coated in scales, large compound eyes and a coiled proboscis, the various species show great differences in terms of their size and appearance. Most cause no harm at all and many are useful for their role in silk-making and nutrition. However, the notorious webbing clothes moth and the case-making clothes moth can be terrible household pests and cause serious damage, requiring the attention of a highly qualified pest technician.
