Cockroaches – These nasty insects look disgusting, but also smell bad and can trigger allergies in some individuals. To make things even worse, they can also carry bacteria (Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Listeria, E. coli), and also fungi, viruses and parasitic worms. Their droppings and body secretions will stain and leave an unpleasant smell, and they can also contaminate foods with their cast skins and egg cases. They can feed on just about any type of food that humans consume, but can also survive for up to 1 month without food.
They are nocturnal creatures and stay hidden during the daytime, getting out at night in search of food. They can shelter in spots that are hard to reach with the usual cleaning methods, such as cracks, crevices, and drains.
For most people living in Australia, cockroaches are a menace that they have to deal with from time to time. The fact that cockroaches have existed for centuries is a testament to their tolerance levels. Very few species can survive for so long, especially in the backdrop of a sustained human effort to eliminate them completely.
A few of the most common cockroaches that you will find in Australia are German, American, Australian and Oriental Cockroaches
Spiders, while often beneficial for controlling insect populations, can pose certain dangers to humans depending on the species and individual circumstances.
Spiders may inadvertently enter homes, vehicles, or outdoor recreational areas, leading to unexpected encounters with humans. While most spiders are not aggressive and will avoid confrontation with humans, accidental contact may result in defensive bites if the spider feels threatened or trapped.
WMPest employ various methods to treat spider infestations, depending on the severity of the problem, the type of spider species present, and the preferences of the homeowner or property manager. A typical approaches used to address spider infestations is to apply residual insecticides to perimeter areas, exterior surfaces, and indoor spaces to create a barrier against spiders and other crawling insects. These treatments can provide long-lasting protection and help prevent reinfestation.
It's important to note that while we can effectively manage spider infestations, complete eradication of spiders from outdoor environments may not be feasible or desirable due to their ecological role as predators of nuisance insects. Instead, we focus on reducing spider populations to tolerable levels and minimizing the risk of indoor infestations and encounters with venomous species.
Rodents – rats and mice are constantly looking for food and shelter, and they don’t hesitate to enter homes. Not only they can contaminate food and damage buildings, but they can also put the health of occupants and visitors at risk. They can spread more than 35 diseases, whether through direct contact, faeces, saliva or through their ticks, fleas and mites. So it is very important to stay protected and to take action as soon as you notice any signs of rodent activity
Australia is home to about 1,200 ant species. Ants are social creatures with colonies that can easily number in the tens of thousands.
They are a nuisance houseguest but they also pose serious problems to Australia’s agricultural industry.
These resourceful insects are experts at invading indoor and outdoor spaces in search of food. They usually send out scouts, so if you spot an ant or two in your home, chances are there are thousands lurking nearby.
There are many different types of ants and although they are mostly a nuisance they can cause damage to your home and are sometimes a health hazard.
Ant colonies can grow quickly and soon become ant infestation, so if you see ants in your house, don’t wait to call us.
