Termites
Subterranean termites thrive in areas with high moisture levels.
Termites are attracted to wood chips, mulch, tree stumps and trees, so check the perimeter of your commercial building.
Indicators there is a termite invasion:
- Buckled or swollen wood
- Visible mud tubes
- Piles of wing residue
The Pest Control Life Cycle
Pests are around our home, inside, outside, in the roof and under our houses, which is why it makes it so important to have your yearly pest treatment completed at your home, but also a termite inspection if your house is constructed with timber in, or around it.
So, how does our pest treatment work?
Crawling insect surface sprays work on the principle that after spraying an area, a thin layer of insecticide remains as a residue on the surface. When an insect walks across this surface, they pick up the insecticide on their legs and body. The insecticide either enters their body directly or as a result of grooming and the insect dies.
The speed of kill depends on the amount of insecticide they pick up and their susceptibility to the insecticide. However, even on a freshly sprayed surface, the insects don’t pick up much insecticide and it will take minutes or even hours for the insect to die. It is therefore quite possible for homeowners to see insects walk across treated surfaces with no apparent effect.
However, assuming the insect has picked up enough insecticide, they will eventually die.
Our Guide To Knowing When It's Time for a Pest Treatment
Signs of an Infestation
Noticed any signs of webs, ant mounds or pest droppings? These are common signs that you may have a bug problem.
Rustling in the roof?
Hear a scurry of little feet running inside the roof? Our furry possum friends like to hide in the roofs of our homes to keep cool during Summer and warm in the Winter. Time to call the experts out!
Spiders walking about?
Have you noticed a spider running along your walls? A red back hiding under the couches? Our eight legged tennants will seek shelter from the heat and wetness, so as soon as you see signs of dangerous spiders give us a call immediately.
Concerned about rats?
Rats and Mice are rodents that can become a nuisance if you have a colony of them living inside, under or around your home. Our rodent bait traps will help alleviate the stress of worrying about an infestation.
