Carpet beetles can be easy to miss until you start noticing small holes or damage in carpets, clothing, rugs, upholstery or other natural fabrics.

It’s actually the larvae—not the adult beetles—that cause the damage. They can hide away in carpets, under furniture, along skirting boards, in wardrobes and other undisturbed areas.

If you’ve noticed carpet beetles, larvae or unexplained fabric damage, it’s worth dealing with the problem before it spreads.

RodX Pest Control can identify the source of the infestation and provide targeted treatment to the areas where carpet beetle larvae are likely to hide, along with practical advice to help prevent them returning.

Found something suspicious in the carpet? It could be more than wear and tear.

Most spiders are actually highly beneficial to have around because they act as natural pest controllers. However, a professional pest controller becomes necessary when spiders pose safety risks or create severe infestations.

Why Most Spiders Are Good
✅ Natural Pest Control: Spiders eat common household pests like mosquitoes, flies, roaches, and moths.
✅ Disease Prevention: By consuming insects, they reduce the spread of diseases carried by pests like flies and mosquitoes.
✅ Crop Protection: Outdoor spiders protect gardens and plants by eating destructive agricultural pests.
✅ Low Risk: The vast majority of household spiders are harmless to humans and prefer to avoid conflict.

Why You Might Need a Pest Controller
✅ Venomous Species: Australia is home to dangerous spiders like the Redback and Funnel-web, which require professional removal to protect your family and pets.
✅ Severe Infestations: A large influx of spiders usually indicates a massive underlying food source (an infestation of other insects) that needs to be treated.
✅ Hard-to-Reach Nests: Professionals have the safety gear and tools to clear webs and egg sacs from high eaves, roof voids, and subfloors.
✅ Long-Term Prevention: Pest controllers apply safe, residual barriers that stop new spiders from invading your living spaces.

When is flea treatment needed?

Fleas aren't just a problem for pets. If you've noticed flea bites on yourself, seen fleas around your home, or your pet is suddenly scratching more than usual, it could be time to investigate.

Fleas can survive in carpets, furniture, bedding and other areas around your home — so treating the pet alone may not be enough to break the flea life cycle.

RodX Pest Control can help identify and treat a flea infestation, targeting the areas where fleas and their eggs may be hiding.

Think you've got fleas? Don't let them make themselves at home.

Spiders become much more active and visible in spring as the weather warms up and they emerge from their winter hiding spots.

Why Spiders Appear

Rising Temperatures: Warmer days wake spiders from their winter slumber or slow activity.

More Food: Insects like flies, ants and moths become active in spring, giving spiders more hunting opportunities.

Breeding Season: Spring sets the stage for the upcoming reproductive season and spiders start searching for mates or laying eggs.

If you’ve ever wondered why a professional pest controller uses a bait station instead of simply putting out rat bait, there’s a good reason.

Bait stations allow pest controllers to place rodent bait in strategic locations where rats and mice are likely to travel, while helping keep the bait contained and away from people, pets and non-target animals.

A professional will consider things like:

✅ Where rodents are active – signs such as droppings, gnaw marks and scratching can help identify their movements.

✅ How they’re getting in – identifying potential entry points is an important part of controlling an infestation.

✅ Where to position the stations – placement is based on rodent activity and the layout of the property.

✅ Monitoring activity – stations can be checked and serviced to determine whether rodent activity is continuing.

Simply putting bait down may not address the bigger problem. Effective rodent control is about understanding how the rodents are using your property and targeting the problem strategically.

We can help at your premises, get in touch today!

A general pest treatment isn’t just about spraying around the outside of a house.

Common pests can enter and harbour around:
✅ External walls and perimeter areas
✅ Window and door frames
✅ Eaves and roofline
✅ Wall cavities
✅ Roof voids
✅ Cracks, gaps and other entry points

A thorough treatment targets the areas where pests travel, enter and hide, helping provide longer-lasting control.

Regular treatments can help prevent problems before they become a bigger infestation.

Not every creature flying around your garden at night is a pest!

Microbats are actually one of nature’s little pest controllers, helping keep insect numbers down around our homes and gardens.

These tiny native mammals can eat up to half their body weight in insects in a single night, including mosquitoes, flies, moths and other insects.

And despite their reputation, microbats are generally quiet, harmless and play an important role in our local ecosystem.

So if you spot a microbat around your Eltham home, remember that you may actually have a helpful backyard visitor!

⚠️ Microbats should never be handled with bare hands. If you find an injured bat or one that needs assistance, contact a qualified wildlife carer for advice.

At RodX Pest Control, we believe good pest management is also about knowing the difference between unwanted pests and valuable native wildlife.

Give the microbats a break — they might just be helping keep the mozzies away!
