The Perfect Storm for PESTS!

With the current weather conditions around Taree, Forster and Gloucester, you wouldn’t be crazy to assume we are about to be inundated with pests. Cockroaches, Spiders, Termites, Silverfish, Fleas, you name it, summer time is their time! Rain followed by hot, humid conditions are a perfect combination for pests.

Ever wondered why you don’t see as many insects or spiders in winter? Throughout the cooler months and in unfavourable conditions these pests release a juvenile hormone which slows or completely stops growth. The perfect example of this is a Flea. Fleas can remain in their pupation for longer than 12 months waiting for the right conditions or a food source to ensure their survival. As soon as the conditions change though, as they now have, they grow, and quickly! Soon enough your house is crawling with Cockroaches, Red back spiders cover the kids play equipment, Fleas are making you itch and Termites are moving in and start eating your house! The best defence is a good offence. Proactive pest control beats reactive treatments hands down. Fix the problem before you even know it’s there and now is the time to act!
