Cockroaches in the kitchen, ants on the march, rats in the roof, a redback in the shed. A treatment built around your home, not a one-size spray.
The volume job, and the one that keeps a home comfortable: an internal and external treatment for the household pests — cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish. We put a protective band around the outside, treat the harbourage points inside, and dust the roof void where insects shelter.
How we treat depends on the pest and the place. Some ants have to be baited, not sprayed, to reach the nest; German cockroaches in a kitchen call for gel in the cracks, not a wet spray on the bench. Getting that right is the difference between a fix and a temporary quiet.
Many Newcastle households have us back on a periodic cycle — spring and autumn are the natural times — so the home stays ahead of the seasons rather than reacting to them.
Newcastle's older homes give rats and mice exactly what they want — roof voids, wall cavities and subfloors to nest in. It spikes every autumn as the weather cools and they move indoors, and again after heavy rain pushes them up out of the ground.
Baiting knocks the numbers down, but on its own it's a treadmill. The real fix is proofing — finding and sealing the gaps they're using to get in, so the next lot can't follow. We do both: bring it under control, then keep it out.
Out toward the western suburbs and anywhere with a garden and a woodpile, spiders and stinging insects are part of the deal. Most are harmless — a few genuinely aren't.
The eaves-and-fence webbers and the ground-dwellers that come inside. A perimeter treatment cuts the numbers right back around the house.
Genuinely common around Newcastle in sheds, woodpiles, under outdoor furniture and letterboxes. Worth treating properly where kids and pets play.
An active wasp or European-bee nest is an urgent job — best located and dealt with, not knocked at. Flag it and we'll get to it quickly.
A note on the serious ones: funnel-web spiders occur in the moist forested country around the region. If you think you've seen one, keep your distance and let us know — we'll advise honestly on what's warranted.
Tell us what you're seeing and where. We'll work out what it is and what actually fixes it — then book you in.
