Termites
Did you know that according to a 2014 research, 1 in 4 Australian homes will be affected by termites at least once? These arthropods are considered the most destructive pest in our country,
Rats/Mice
Mice and rats are a health hazard to humans due to the wide range of deadly disease that they can spread. Additionally, they can cause damage to the building's insulation, chew the floor joists or the walls, and even damage cables. If they have access to the kitchen, these critters can contaminate the food and we can become sick.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches carry disease and can exacerbate the symptoms of allergy and asthma sufferers
Fleas
Fleas prefer humid and warm environments and thrive both inside and outside of residential and commercial buildings. These pests will affect your pets such as cats, dogs, and even birds, as well as the humans who interact with the affected animals.
Ants
Ants will generally enter a house in search of food, and they can become a real nuisance. Some species of ants might even carry diseases that can affect humans, while other species can bite.
The first signs of an ant infestation are their nests. If you happen to notice small piles of earth at the base of the exterior walls of a building, then you might be dealing with an ant infestation.
Spiders
In general, spider will weave their webs and linger in the corners of buildings, in air vents, in the eaves, and in wall cracks. They are more likely to live in dark and warm spaces. Some species are more attracted to the outdoor area and will infest gardens, trees, or footpaths.
