Ant invasions – we’ve all had one (or 5), and we all know how damn annoying they can be. Ants crawling over your benches, and food, and the worst part is when you find them in food and beverages. Once you’ve got an ant invasion, at the time, it seems almost impossible to get rid of them, as they just keep coming and coming, and the ant trail looks never ending.
Never fear, there are a few things you can do to protect your house and yourself against an ant invasion, and make you sleep easier knowing that the chance of ants invading your house yet again is minimal. First of all, you need to ensure you and your family members are cleaning up after yourself, ensure there are no sticky and sugary spills and food crumbs left around. These are exactly what ants are looking for.
Next, be sure to empty your rubbish bin on a regular basis. As well as emptying the bins, be sure to give them a wipe out with spray every now and then. By doing this, you are removing the bait for the ants.
Another way to avoid an ant invasion that is not often thought about when it comes to ants is if you can, feed your pets outside. Pets, like cats and dogs, are messy eaters, and will often leave tiny crumbs of food that you may miss, but ants surely wont.
In addition to the above, be sure to store food within “pest-proof” containers – containers with air tight lids that ants cannot get into.
One other tip to tip to avoid an ant invasion is to rinse out jars, bottles and containers before putting them into the rubbish and recycling bins.
When people think of ways to avoid ants invading their house, they usually think of most of the above, which are all conducted inside. But what most people don’t think of is the outside area. There are a number of things home owners should undertake to their outside area to avoid an ant invasion. Trees and shrubs should be kept back from the house, keep gutters and drains clear of debris, watch for new ant mounds and nests, seal all rubbish bags, and seal doors and windows.
Please note that these are not fool proof tips on how to protect your house and yourself from ants, but they will definitely reduce the chance of ants returning, and the number of ants that come.
Yet, despite all your hard word, if you still find yourself with an ant problem, it is advised to contact a Brisbane pest control expert, or your local pest control expert to tackle the problem front on for you. One such company that prides itself on its ability to eliminate ants from households is, Hitman. Hitman offer pest control in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, and Sunshine Coast pest control, so there is likely to be one in your local area. So, if you fear the worst and think you’ve got an ant invasion, get in contact with a Hitman today.
The mornings are getting chillier, the nights getting colder, the sun’s setting earlier, and rising later. All of these signs can only mean one thing – winter is coming. I don’t know about you, but I love winter. Getting all rugged up, and cuddling up in front of a fire place with a hot chocolate to keep you warm. But, I’m not the only one who likes to keep warm in winter; so do your common household pests.
For some reason, a lot of households let down their pest control guard in winter, and start to forget about pests and treating their house for pests during these months.
It is a common myth that pests “die” off during the winter months. As much as we wish this was true, it isn’t. Much like we like to keep warm, so do pests, and they do this by hiding in warm dark places inside your house where you can’t see them (this explains how this myth has come about). Therefore, they are not seen as regularly, if at all during winter, giving the illusion that they aren’t there. Yet, if anything, your pest problem might be even worse in winter, you just don’t know about it because they are hiding in spots where you can’t see them.
So, basically the point I am trying to reiterate here is, just because the winter chill has frozen your fingers, and toes, don’t let it freeze your pest maintenance regime. It is just as important during the winter months to keep on top of your pest treatment and maintenance as it is during the summer months. I could think of nothing worse than for the summer months to roll around, to only find that you’ve had cockroaches and silverfish breeding in your house all through winter.
So, don’t let the winter chill and pests get on top of you this coming winter. Be sure to keep on top of your pest control in Brisbane or where ever you reside.
Or alternatively, to ensure the summer months don’t bring with them an invasion of pests, contact a Brisbane pest control company, such as Hitman, to have your house treated inside and out for cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, and termites. Through having this done, at least you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that while you are sipping on your hot chocolate late at night in front of the fire place, you aren’t going to feel any pests crawling between your toes.
Quite often homeowners will come across an insect or household pest and not know what it is. The likely chance that it is one of the most common household pests is quite high. There are a number of household pests that are commonly found within Australian households. They do vary slightly state to state as different climates attract different types of bugs and insects, however, generally these can be found all across Australia.
One of the most common household pests is the ant. As well as being one of the most common, they are also one of the most annoying of them all. Ants form colonies, and are usually, if not always, found in large numbers, which may explain why they are so pesky. Ants are attracted to sugary, sweet foods and liquids, so if you often have sugary foods and liquids out in the open, it is likely that you will soon, if not already, have new residents in your house.
Another common household pest is the cockroach. These are very common in Queensland homes. They are also one of the most loathed insects going around, as they like to eat nearly anything and everything in their path. They are also considered a health hazard if left untreated, as they can carry viruses and bacteria.
Silverfish are also often found in households. These pests are silvery grey in appearance, shaped similar to a fish, and are wingless insects. Silverfish, if left untreated, can cause a significant amount of damage, so much so, that they can completely destroy photos, books, clothing, and other material objects.
And of course there is the most feared termite. Termites, also commonly referred to as white ants, have the ability to make a building or house structurally unsound. Their diet solely revolves around soil, wood and grass, which puts houses in harm’s way, if not treated and regularly checked.
Ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and termites are only some of the household pests out there, yet they are probably the most common. If you find yourself facing a problem with any of these pests, it is best to not risk it, and contact a pest control in Sunshine Coast company which specialises in the eradication of your household pests.
One such Brisbane pest control company which has years of experience in ridding houses of ants, spiders, silverfish, cockroaches and termites is, Hitman. Hitman is a pest control company in Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Logan, and Brisbane. They pride themself on their pest control expertise.
So, if you are finding signs of a pest invasion, contact Hitman today!
When it comes to silverfish, there is usually one thing that you need to know, they don’t belong in your house. However, there are a few more things to know about silverfish to ensure you know what you are dealing with if you have a silverfish problem, and how to know if you have a problem.
First of all, I should start off with explaining what silverfish are. For those who are unsure, silverfish are small, wingless insects, which are silvery, light grey and blue in colour. They are called silverfish due to their motion that resembles the movement of a fish.
One of the most important facts, if not the most important, to know about silverfish is their ability to damage household items. Silverfish’s diet includes carbohydrates such as sugars and starches like glue, plaster, paint, hair, clothing, book bindings and many more. Their diet makes them one of our most despised household pests, as they will eat just about anything in the house.
Another point to note is where they like to live. They tend to inhabit in moist areas, where humidity is high, up the 95%. These areas of the house usually include basements, bathrooms, closets, attics, and garages. So, if you think you’ve got silverfish, search these areas first.
Another important fact to note is their ability to reproduce at a high rate. Female silverfish can lay up to 60 eggs at once, which take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months to hatch. Therefore, their reproduction life-cycle is quite short, giving them the ability to multiple quickly. Yet, thankfully, one silverfish will usually lay fewer than 100 eggs in its lifetime.
It is evident that silverfish, if left untreated within a house, can cause significant damage. So, if you are finding books with damaged binding, chewed paint, damaged photos or any other signs of silverfish damage, it is advised to get in contact with a Brisbane pest control expert as soon as possible.
Hitman, a Brisbane pest control expert, can treat your house inside and out for silverfish. Hitman undertake pest control in Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, and Brisbane area.
So, don’t risk irreparable damage to your household items, and contact Hitman today.
Something that I am sure you can all relate to is, when you see a cockroach you look for the nearest shoe, and squish it, thinking it is an effective way of killing cockroaches. Don’t get me wrong, it is completely effective…if you are only wanting to kill one cockroach. But, what most people don’t know is that when there is one cockroach, there is usually another 10 or so roaming around the house. So, the good old shoe trick really is not very effective at all, not in the long term anyway.
Apart from using your shoes to kill cockroaches, there are a few other more effective ways to evict those unwanted cockroaches;
- Cockroach baits
Cockroach baits work by attracting the pests to the bait to eat the food inside them that has insecticide in it. For the baits to work, they need to placed in an area that does not contain other sources of food that the cockroaches may prefer to eat over the bait. Cockroaches leave scent trails, so other cockroaches will follow the path to the bait, and consume the bait. When the cockroaches return to their nest, they then contaminate other cockroaches, eventually killing the nest.
- Cockroach sprays
Cockroach sprays are also quite effective eradication methods. There are a number of different types of sprays available, the main one being surface spray. All you need to do is spray your surfaces with the spray. Chemicals within the spray attract cockroaches from their hiding places to the sprayed area, which then attacks the pests and kills the cockroaches and any eggs they are carrying. As well as killing the cockroaches on the spot, the spray also provides a 6 month barrier.
- Professional pest control
The Most effective, and reliable way to evict those unwanted cockroaches currently residing within your pantry and cupboards, is with professional pest control on Gold Coast, pest control on Sunshine Coast, or wherever you are located. Professional pest control tackles the problem from the core out. If you have hired a reputable pest control company, such as Hitman, they will offer you a full 12 month service warranty. Thus, if the cockroaches return within 12 months, they will retreat your house. No sprays or baits can offer this type of warranty.
Out of the three methods mentioned here, the most effective one at eradicating cockroaches is professional pest control. Using professional pest control in Gold Coast, pest control in Sunshine Coast, or wherever you reside, is more likely to be able to rid your house of cockroaches faster, and for longer.
One such pest control company on the Gold Coast that specialises in cockroach pest control is, Hitman. Hitman will treat any size house, inside and out, for cockroaches, as well as ants, spiders, silverfish, and termites.

So often you look in your cupboards to find loads of products all claiming to tackle certain pests, when in fact many of them do not work.
So, why spend all your money on sprays, powders, and traps, when you can simply purchase a pest control package from a pest control company on the Sunshine Coast, or in your local area.

There are a lot of techniques out there about how to avoid termites from invading your house. However, many of these do not actually work, and are just myths. If you constantly use ineffective termite eradication methods, you will be fighting a losing battle.
Before you actually have a termite problem, there are some protection methods that should and can be put in place to avoid termites from munching away at your house. One such method that is often successful in preventing termites is chemical barriers. The chemicals need to be applied to the ground, under concrete slabs, and around the perimeter of the house.
Physical barriers are another great way to avoid a termite problem. The physical barrier needs to separate the house from the ground, where the termites usually nest. Other types of physical barriers are; stainless steel mesh, finely crushed granite placed on the ground. Both of these prevent the termites from actually getting to the house.
With the evolution of technology comes the evolution of termite prevention techniques, such as termite resistant materials like timber. Some types of Australian timber have been developed to resist attacks by termites. The treatment to the timber is applied to reduce the extent of potential damage the termites could cause.
Finally, one of the best and most efficient ways to avoid termites is through regularly inspecting your house for termites, or having a Brisbane pest control expert inspect your house for you. One Brisbane pest control company is Hitman Pest Control and they will do a free termite check with your pest control. This way you are constantly on top of your potential termite problem, and will not have to stress about damage to your house, as you will be checking regularly.
However, if it is too late, and you have signs of a termite problem, it is best to contact pest control in Brisbane, pest control in Gold Coast, or in your local area. A termite problem is best left to the experts, as termites can cause serious damage if not treated properly.
