The most common animal we come across on a daily basis are birds. As the human population take down more trees and vegetation and taken over, the birds don’t have many places to go other than around us. They nest in our houses, office building, garages, windows, and any place they can find shelter under, and also leave their mark by using your common areas as their toilets.

Bird pest control requires professional help, to try and reduce the chances of them returning. You can’t just “sshoo” them away for long, as they may refuse to leave, by just coming back.

Termites

Termite pest control is extremely important that you get under control. Termite is the common name of a group of chemically complex insects that live in communities as ants do. They have long been known as white ants, But actually termites are more closely related to cockroaches and grasshoppers. Their mouth parts, antennae, thick waists, primitive wings and other features resemble those of cockroaches.

Termites are all over Australia causing millions of damage to homes everywhere they can find food. The problem is so bad that insurance companies may not cover termite damage in your home. This means that if your house is infested with termites, you are going to have pay to have them removed and to have the damage repaired.

Termites digest wood, paper, and other material containing cellulose, with aid of protozoain their bodies. They do much damage in tunnelling through the wood work of houses destroy books and furniture, and do great damage by tunnelling through fence posts, trees, timbers of wooden buildings, bridges, trestles, and other structures. In houses they eat, cloth furniture, books and paper.

A termite inspection is an inspection of the building and property including roof void, sub-floor, internal and external timbers, and trees and fences within the property boundaries. It deals with the detection of live termite activity, and evidence of termite damage, and includes details of areas of risk.
Soldiers – Termite species is Copotermes Acinaciformis which are coming out of Flight holes.This is where Alates fly out each year (which are future kings and queens).

A pre-purchase house inspection should be carried out before a property is purchased. This is is an inspection of the building and property including roof void, sub-floor, internal and external timbers, and trees and fences within the property boundaries. It deals with the detection of live termite activity, borer activity, timber decay, chemical delignification, and evidence of damage caused by these pests and includes details of areas of risk.

Types of spiders:

Black Widow or Black Spider

These are timid spiders with bites occurring infrequently, but may be quite painful with local swelling. Nausea, vomiting, sweating and giddiness sometimes occur. Use an ice pack to relieve local pain and seek medical attention is the symptoms persist.

Funnel Web Spiders

The bite is dangerous and can cause serious illness or death. The male venom is more toxic than the female and initial symptoms include local pain, mouth numbness, vomiting, abdominal pain, sweating and salivation. There is an anti-venom available. Immediate action should be taken to apply a pressure bandage and immobilise the bitten limb by splinting. Restrict the movement of the victim. If possible, capture the spider for positive identification.

Huntsman Spiders

Bites usually result only in transient local pain and swelling. However, some Shield Huntsman Spider bites can result in prolonged pain, inflammation, headache, vomiting and irregular pulse rate. An ice pack may relieve local pain, however, seek medical attention if the symptoms persist.

Mouse Spiders

Mouse spider venom may be very toxic, but only one serious envenomation has been recorded, other bites causing minor effects. Funnel Web spider anti-venom may be effective. Where possible, collect the spider for positive identification.

Orb Spiders

Males are often much smaller than females and both are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or local pain only with numbness and swelling with occasional nausea and dizziness. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Redback Spiders

Redback bites occur frequently. They can cause serious illness and have caused deaths. Because of their small jaws, many bites are ineffective. Common early symptoms are pain, sweating (always including local sweating at the bite site), muscular weakness, nausea and vomiting. An antivenom is available – no deaths have occurred since its introduction. Apply an ice pack to the bitten area to relieve the pain. Do not apply a pressure bandage (venom movement is slow and pressure worsens pain). If possible, collect the spider for positive identification. Seek medical attention.

Sac Spiders

Bites are not common and symptoms are usually minor, including local pain and swelling. Symptoms may also include headache, dizziness, sweating, nausea and local skin ulceration, though most such reports relate to overseas experience. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

White Tail Spiders

Symptoms are usually confined to local mind stinging or burning pain, sometimes followed by development of an itchy lump. Less commonly, bites result in swelling, discolouration and local ulceration, sometimes with nausea and vomiting. There is no conclusive evidence that these spiders regularly cause significant skin damage or ulceration. An ice pack may relieve local pain. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Wolf Spiders

Trapdoor Spiders

Brown trapdoor spiders are often mistaken for Funnel Web spiders but their bites are not dangerous – local pain and swelling may occur. The same goes for the Sigillate Trapdoor Spider, although there is one report of unspecified “severe effects”. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Bees / Wasps

Do you have a pest control problem with bees or wasps in your home or office?

Bees, and wasps can bite us and cause discomfort and are a health risk. Many of you might not know, that wasps and bees are closely related to ants. As they all belong to the same order of insects known as Hymenoptera. You might have noticed that many bees and wasps live in groups such as ants. But there are some bees and wasps that live a solitary life. You might also have noticed that some wasps closely resemble flies or ants, so be careful around these insects, or call a professional to ensure their safe removal.

When talking about bees we gathered that most people identify bees as “stinging insects”. You may have been stung by a bee in the past, but even though serious complications from bee stings are rare, if you are allergic to their sting it can prove to be serious. If this is the case ensure you get to the hospital for help, as they can be life threatening.

Most of us do not pay much attention towards the buzzing we hear from the ground. Bees and wasps mostly build their nest on the ground, which are usually hidden under some shelter. Be careful when gardening or mowing the lawn as you could accidently upset a nest that is nearby, which can cause attacks. If you do live in a high bee and wasp area be sure to wear protective clothing and glasses.

The real threat you can face is when they build colonies. In which case we can find 100’s of bees and wasps around. Remember if there is any hive you are aware of, do not tackle it yourself as the situation can turn worse if they attack you for disturbing them. If you have spotted any hives around your house call us as your local bee and wasp pest control professional. At Antibug, we have the gear to protect ourselves and you, while handling the bees and wasps situation calmly and with care, so that you and you family can feel safe.

Calling in a professional is the only way to go when dealing with all your bee and wasp pest control. Many people are silly enough to think they can tackle hives on their own, but I would like to warn you not to take such risks. We can save you from a lot of trouble and pain. If you have spotted a small hive call us for help immediately. Don’t risk being stung, especially if you have kids or pets ensure that the surroundings of your house are bee and wasp free, as both children and pets are unable to detect the danger caused by disturbing a hives.
