How to prevent pests

How to prevent pests…Top tip: Ensure outside bins have a tight fitting lid to prevent pests in your property and garden. We can even treat your rubbish bins to keep them fly/fly larvae, spider and ant free throughout the year.

It’s still cold out and just like Christchurch, rats have had their fair share of activity across Auckland. Be vigilant and clear rubbish, pet food, food waste etc. Give us a call if you think you are overrun!

Top Tip for Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are hardy insects!

TOP TIPS for prevention:

A clean house – especially the kitchen – is key to cockroach prevention and control.

Don’t let dishes pile up or leave food spillages on the floor or around appliances. Clean any food immediately so cockroaches and other pests have nothing to feed on.

Cockroaches are drawn to warm areas, eg behind dishwashers/fridges so keep these areas clean also.

Contact a professional if you suspect an infestation.

 

Top Tip for Rodent Control

Rodent Control

Rodents are seeking shelter from the cold and our warm homes are cosy for them!

TOP TIPS: Store any firewood at least 5m away from your home

Seal cracks and holes around the home to prevent rodents entering

Keep storage sheds and garages clear and organised – rodents love hiding in clutter, store boxes off the floor

Contact a professional if you suspect an infestation

 

Winter is here!

Winter has well and truly arrived….make sure rats and mice don’t arrive at your house this season. It’s a good time to clear gardens and outdoor areas of debris. Less clutter, less places to hide!
