With the warm days and large amounts of rain recently, pests are still highly active, entering homes and businesses across the area.
Recently we completed a pest control service at a home in Morningside where our customer was faced with a high number of cockroaches, ants and spiders. These pests are typical for this time of year, so it’s important to get them under control fast.
We were able to locate the source, nest for the cockroaches outside and treat that to stop any more coming inside. Ants were also active outside and coming in via cracks and under doors. Spiders had created a number of webs outside which we removed by hand. This service will prevent these pests for the next 12 months with a barrier around the perimeter of the home. We also provide advice on sealing up cracks and installing door seals to stop pests crawling under the doors.
Pests in Morningside
As mentioned above, this time of year brings certain pests in high numbers including ants, cockroaches, spiders and mosquitoes.
These pests are looking for a home to live in, food to eat and water. Unfortunately, our homes are the top choice for these pests. Some of these pests can also be harmful to people and make life uncomfortable in and around the home.
Cockroaches are very unhygienic and can cause issues for people who suffer from asthma. Some species of ants can damage things in a home such as power points and also inflict a painful bite. Australia is also home to some of the most dangerous spiders in the world including Funnel Webs and Redbacks. Mosquitoes can ruin any outdoor activities and have been known to spread infections with people such as the Ross River virus.
It’s important to be proactive and get these pests removed and under control before they become a major issue for you. Our pest control services for these pests take one hour to complete and start from $145.00.
We use tailored pest control treatments to effectively stop and remove certain pests for the long term with a guaranteed warranty.
