Control Adelaide’s most hated pests – Cockroaches, spiders, & mice

7/28/2020

3 Comments

 
​Around Adelaide, the three most commonly hated pests are cockroaches, spiders, and mice. When you consider their reputation for causing harm, either through disease or venom – it’s easy to understand why. 

​Did you know that?

Amazingly, the rodent can eat a cockroach out of a glue trap without itself becoming entangled. Australian native rodents are insectivores, often eating cockroaches and termites. Occasionally, professionals report seeing mice or rats directly eating cockroaches or other insects.

Spiders feed on common indoor pests, such as cockroaches, Earwigs, Mosquitoes, Flies and Clothes Moths. If left alone, Spiders will consume most of the insects in your home, providing effective home pest control.
​
If only we could leave these pests to control themselves!

What they leave behind!

Damage
Mice like to chew things. As their teeth continuously grow, they need to chew. The problem is that they’re not fussy what they chew on and that can mean anything from the timbers in your home to the electrical wires in your ceiling. That’s where the problem starts as it can lead to costly house fires.

Droppings
Often the first sign that you have a mouse or cockroach problem, their little calling cards can make our hearts stop – especially if we see them around our food preparation areas.

Offspring
Mice, spiders, and cockroaches are all prolific breeders but bad parents. They tend to have their kids and leave 
them as soon as possible, leaving them in your home and making them your problem. All of a sudden that one mouse, spider, or cockroach is a BIG problem.

​How to handle them

Ok, so don’t get physical with them, especially the spiders! Actually, don’t disturb spider webs before or in the few days after spraying or you will reduce your chances of being rid of those moveable beasts.

You’ve probably guessed that I’m going to tell you to call in a professional, like myself, and you’d be right. The most effective way to be rid of them is to get in an expert, just as you would for any serious attack on your home and family.

The good news is that cockroaches and spiders are best controlled with a spray and the one we use is specially formulated to handle the hardiest of spiders, that makes it strong enough for roaches too.
​
Mice need baits and we periodically send specials to people who join our newsletter list for mice baiting. So get in before the mice have their spring fling and save yourself some $$.
