Pest control in Canberra is essential for any home or business owner. Pests can cause unpleasant living or working conditions at best and rampant destruction and disease at worst. You may be able to handle a few insects yourself. But when your pest problem gets out of hand, it’s time to call professional pest inspectors.
While DIY pest control is an easy and cost-effective approach to minor insect problems, nothing beats professional pest control when you need comprehensive treatment. Professional pest control provides you with custom treatment options, professional-quality products and the necessary expertise.
The leading company for pest control in Canberra, ACT Pest Control can treat your home or business for the SEVEN most common types of pests in one visit. With commercial, industrial and residential pest control options, we can maintain a safe environment, help protect the health of your family or your staff and provide you with lasting peace of mind.
Here’s why pest control matters here in Australia’s capital city and why it’s important to choose a pest control professional with experience and expertise.
Why pest control in Canberra is important
Quality pest control in Canberra is important due to the city’s hot summers, cool winters and proximity to bushland. As the seasons change, the likelihood of threats from different pests increases. As the weather cools from autumn to winter, pests such as beetles, spiders and rodents come indoors to seek warmth. In spring, ants and rodents increase their search for food and sites to nest in. And just about every pest becomes more active in summer, including wasps, flies and mosquitos.
Many pests are highly active all year round. Canberra’s climate is perfect for termites, which can cause profound structural damage to properties. Other common Canberra pests include spiders, slaters, silverfish, mud wasps, earwigs and millipedes – the seven pests that ACT Pest Control takes care of in one visit.
Pests tend to spread more rapidly in densely populated areas such as the ACT. The right pest control in Canberra provides you with peace of mind and allows you to make the most of this region’s diverse climate and exceptional quality of life.
Reasons you need pest control
Pests are more than just annoying, unsightly and disgusting. They can cause long-term damage to your home, your business or your health. Here’s why pest control is essential and why it pays to choose the professional approach:
Pests are bad for your health
Pests pose more serious dangers to your health than you may think. In parts of Australia and overseas, mosquitoes can spread diseases such as dengue and Zika. While these are not locally transmitted in Canberra, mosquitoes can still pose health risks and cause significant discomfort. The presence of pests in the home can also make asthma and other allergens worse.
Pests cause damage that can go unnoticed
A lot of the damage that pests cause to your home or business is invisible to the naked eye. You might not notice you have a termite issue until they’ve caused significant damage to the building’s structure, and beetles and silverfish chew on fibres and shred your linen. Sometimes these signs of damage are your first indication that there are pests in your home or business, and sometimes it’s easy to miss the damage until it becomes severe.
The do-it-yourself option has limits
Eliminating pests with bug spray only deals with the problem on a surface level instead of addressing the root cause. While it works for minor issues involving pests, you need a professional approach for severe or out-of-sight infestations. Professional pest controllers can undertake a detailed inspection that includes hidden entry points and out-of-sight nesting zones, and pest-proof your home for the future.
It’s better for business
Pests can affect your business’s bottom line by damaging your products or equipment. They can also create dirty and unsafe conditions that expose your staff to risk and make the environment less appealing to customers.
