Some of the pests we deal with in Canberra
Cockroaches
Canberra is home to Australian, American, German and Oriental cockroaches – all capable of carrying dangerous bacteria. Cockroaches love humid environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Termites
Termites are active throughout the year, but more so in the warmer months. In Canberra, two species – Coptotermes frenchi and Nasutitermes exitiosus – do most of the damage. A large termite colony can destroy the wooden structural elements of a home within 3-6 months.
European wasps
The aggressive European wasp is an opportunistic and predatory insect that feeds on other insects, fruit, animal corpses and food scraps. The eradication of European wasps is best left to experienced residential pest controllers in Canberra.
Spiders
Canberra becomes alive with spiders in spring. Common species include the redback, huntsman and white-tailed spider. Spiders entering the family home are a hazard to young children, especially babies.
Ants
Ant colonies target water, food fats and sugar in your home, especially during the warmer months. An ant nest is usually hidden from view and can reside in wall cavities, under rocks and in the ground.
Rodents
Rats and mice are enthusiastic breeders that target homes, buildings and commercial kitchens for food and shelter. Residential pest controllers in Canberra frequently come across black rats, brown rats, house mice and field mice.
