Health Benefits of Pest Control
Pest control is the practice of preventing and controlling pests. Pests can cause damage to crops and property, spread diseases, and disrupt ecosystems. Pest control professionals use a variety of techniques to manage pests.
New homes, especially those in housing estates, can be a magnet for pests. They can also be vulnerable to termite invasion. To know more about Pest Control Narangba, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Pests are not just annoying, but they can also damage property and contaminate food. Termites, for example, can eat through wood and weaken buildings over time, leading to expensive repairs. Rodents can gnaw on electrical wires and increase the risk of fires. In addition, pests such as cockroaches and mosquitoes carry diseases that can cause health problems for the people living in a building.
Regular pest control maintenance helps prevent these damaging effects and protects a property’s value. It can also save money in the long run by preventing expensive home repairs.
Detecting pests in the house is easy, but it’s not always possible to spot the hidden damage they cause. Signs of infestation include rat droppings, scurrying sounds at night, and unexplained pungent smells. These signs can indicate that rodents, cockroaches, and other pests are hiding in your home. They can also damage your home’s structure and lower its market value. Getting rid of these pests is essential for your family’s safety and comfort.
Pests can spread diseases to humans through their droppings and contaminated food. Rodents and insects can transmit bacteria, such as salmonella and hantavirus, which cause illnesses like gastrointestinal upset and fever. Some pests, such as ticks and mosquitoes, can carry viruses that cause diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease.
Crawling or walking pests, such as rodents, cockroaches and Indian meal moths, can spread germs as they crawl on garbage, decaying matter, and sewage. They can also transfer these germs through their shed skins, fecal droppings, and saliva to foods and food surfaces.
Having pests in your home can lead to a number of health problems, such as allergic reactions and asthma. You may notice signs of pest infestation, such as gnaw marks, droppings, smear marks and foul odors. It’s important to take action before these pests cause damage and affect your health. A qualified pest control technician can help you eliminate pests safely and effectively.
Many pests release allergens into the air that can trigger asthma and other respiratory symptoms in people who are sensitive. For example, cockroaches have allergen proteins in their saliva, feces, and shed skin. These allergens become airborne and contaminate indoor environments. Cockroaches can also cause asthma attacks in children and make existing symptoms worse.
Other common allergy-triggering pests include flies, stink bugs, and spiders. These insects can contaminate food with bacteria and other pathogens and cause allergic reactions in people who are prone to them. Stink bugs produce a vapor when crushed that can cause allergies in some people. In addition, some caterpillars have urticating hairs and spines that can cause itching and allergies in some people.
Pest-related allergens can be reduced by keeping a clean home and throwing out trash regularly. In addition, an air purifier with a HEPA filter can help trap and remove dust mite allergens from mattresses and upholstery. It’s also a good idea to keep windows closed during high pollen seasons and wash bedding in hot water on a regular basis.
Pests can cause a wide range of health threats for pets. They can carry parasites and bacteria that lead to diseases such as heartworm, rabies, and Lyme disease. They can also bite or sting pets, causing pain and discomfort. In some cases, venomous bugs like snakes and spiders can be fatal to cats and dogs. Pet owners can limit the threat by keeping their pets on a leash, avoiding tall grass and bushes, and making sure that trash cans are securely closed. To know more about Pest Control Narangba, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Mosquitoes are another common concern for pet owners. They can cause painful, itchy welts on animals that are similar to those caused by mosquito bites on humans. In addition, some species of mosquitoes can carry viruses that can lead to heartworm disease. Other venomous pests include ticks, fleas, and mites. Fleas can cause itching and anemia in pets, while ticks can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Stinging pests such as bees, wasps, and hornets can also harm pets by causing severe allergic reactions.

In Hushed Whispers Pt. 2
Mr. Mustache
In Hushed Whispers Masterpost Previous: Negotiations
The party enters the Redcliffe chantry to see Dorian beating the daylights out of shades with his staff in front of a rift.
Dorian: Good, you’re finally here! Now help me close this would you?
The party fights another time-altering rift with Dorian’s assistance. After it is closed, Dorian approaches the party.
Dorian: Fascinating, how does that work, exactly? You don’t even know, do you? You just wiggle your fingers, and boom! Rift closes.
PC: Who are you?
Dorian: Ah, getting ahead of myself again, I see. Dorian of House Pavus, most recently of Minrathous. How do you do?
Party comments:
Cassandra: Another Tevinter. Be cautious with this one. Dorian: Suspicious friends you have here.
Iron Bull: Watch yourself. The pretty ones are always the worst. Dorian: Suspicious friends you have here.
Vivienne: Let one Tevinter in, suddenly they’re scurrying out of all the walls like roaches. Dorian: Now now, I’m ever so much more handsome than a cockroach.
Dorian: Magister Alexius was once my mentor, so my assistance should be valuable — as I’m sure you can imagine.
1- Dialogue options:
Investigate: Where’s Felix? [2]
Investigate: You’re a Magister? [4]
General: Why help us? [5]
General: Quit grandstanding. [6]
General: Did you send the note? [7]
2 - Investigate: Where’s Felix? PC: I was expecting Felix to be here. Dorian: I’m sure he’s on his way. He was to give you the note, then meet us here after ditching his father.
Dialogue options:
Investigate: Is something wrong with Felix? [3]
[Back to 1]
3 - Investigate: Is something wrong with Felix? PC: Alexius couldn’t jump to Felix’s fast enough when he pretended to be faint. Is something wrong with him? Dorian: He’s had some lingering illness for months. Felix is an only child, and Alexius is being a mother hen, most likely. [Back to 1]
4 - Investigate: You’re a Magister? PC: Are you a magister? Dorian: All right. Lets say this once. I’m a mage from Tevinter, but not a member of the Magisterium. I know southerners use the terms interchangeably, but that only make you sound like barbarians. [Back to 1]
5 - General: Why help us? PC: You’re betraying your mentor because… Dorian: Alexius was my mentor. Meaning not any longer, not for some time. [8]  
6 - General: Quit grandstanding. PC: Stop talking like you’re waiting for applause. Just tell me what’s going on. Dorian: What, there’s no applause? Fine. [8]
7 - General: Did you send the note? PC: Are you the one that sent the note, then? Dorian: I am. Someone had to warn you, after all. [8]
8 - Scene continues.
Dorian: Look, you must know there’s danger. That should be obvious even without the note. Let’s start with Alexius claiming all the rebel mages out from under you. As if by magic, yes? Which is exactly right. To reach Redcliffe before the Inquisition, Alexius distorted time itself.
Dialogue options:
General: That sounds bad. [9]
General: To get here before me? [10]
General: That’s ridiculous. [11]
9 - General: That sounds bad. PC: I hope that’s less dangerous than it sounds. Dorian: More. [12]
10 - General: To get here before me? PC: He arranged it so he could arrive here just after the Divine died? Dorian: You catch on quick. [12]
11 - General: That’s ridiculous. Mage PC: I’ve never heard of time-controlling magic, not in all my studies. Dalish PC: If there was a way to turn back time, the Dalish would have used it long ago. Non-mage PC: I’ve never heard of magic that controls time. [12]
12 - Scene continues.
Party comments:
Solas: That is fascinating, if true… and almost certainly dangerous.
Vivienne: Manipulating time itself? Many have attempted over the ages, but never once succeeded.
Sera: You don’t believe this do you? It’s daft.
Dorian: The rift you closed here? You saw how it twisted time around itself, sped some things up and and slowed others down. Soon there will be more like it, and they’ll appear further and further away from Redcliffe. The magic Alexius is using is wildly unstable, and it’s unraveling the world.
Dialogue options:
General: This is a lot to swallow. PC: You’re asking me to take a lot on faith.
General: Do you have evidence? PC: I’d like more proof than “magical time control! Go with it.”
General: I don’t trust you.   PC: Why should I believe any of this?
Dorian: I know what I’m talking about. I helped develop this magic. When I was still his apprentice, it was pure theory. Alexius could never get it to work. What I don’t understand is why he’s doing it? Ripping time to shreds just to gain a few hundred lackeys?
Felix: He didn’t do it for them.
Dorian: Took you long enough. Is he getting suspicious?
Felix: No, but I shouldn’t have played the illness card. I thought he’d be fussing over me all day.
Felix: My father’s joined a cult. Tevinter supremacists. They call themselves “Venatori.” And I can tell you one thing: whatever he’s done for them, he’s done it to get to you.
13 - Dialogue options:
Investigate: Why are you telling me this? [14]
Investigate: Why does he want me? [15]
General: How do we stop him? [16]
General: I’m flattered.[17] + Dorian slightly approves (affects starting approval upon joining Inquisition)
General: He doesn’t scare me. [18]
14 - Investigate: Why are you telling me this? PC: Alexius is your father. Why are you working against him? Felix: For the same reason Dorian works against him. I love my father, and I love my country. But this? Cults? Time magic? What he’s doing is madness. For his own sake, you have to stop him. Dorian: It would also be nice if he didn’t rip a hole in time. There’s already a hole in the sky. [back to 13]
15 - Investigate: Why does he want me? PC: Why would he rearrange time and indenture the mage rebellion just to get to me? Felix: They’re obsessed with you, but I don’t know why. Perhaps because you survived the Temple of Sacred Ashes? Dorian: You can close the rifts. Maybe there’s a connection? Or they see you as a threat? Felix: If the Venatori are behind those rifts, or the Breach in the sky, they’re even worse than I thought. [back to 13]
16 - General: How do we stop him? PC: Do you have any suggestions? [19]
17 - General: I’m flattered. PC: All this for me? And here I didn’t get Alexius anything. Dorian: Send him a fruit basket. Everyone loves those. [19]
18 - General: He doesn’t scare me. PC: I’m not afraid of Alexius. [19]
19 -  Scene continues.
Dorian: You know you’re his target. Expecting the trap is the first step in turning it to your advantage. I can’t stay in Redcliffe. Alexius doesn’t know I’m here, and I want to keep it that way for now. But whenever you’re ready to deal with him, I want to be there. I’ll be in touch.
Dorian goes to leave, but turns to Felix on the way out.
Dorian: And Felix? Try not to get yourself killed.
Felix: There are worse things than dying, Dorian.
The party leaves the Chantry.
Party comments:
Varric [20]
Sera [21]
Blackwall [22]
Iron Bull [23]
Vivienne [24]
Solas [25]
Cassandra [26]
20 - Varric:
Varric: Does Tevinter really need cults? Aren’t they weird enough?
Party comments:
Sera: They believe rubbish anyway. A cult in their cult just doubles it.
Blackwall: Can we trust Dorian and Felix? I’m not sure who to believe here.
Iron Bull: Vints are all crazy. If it’s not cults, it’s demons, or musical theater, or something.
Vivienne:  Since they’ve outmaneuvered us so far, it might be wise to take the Venatori seriously.
Solas: They have torn open time itself, So no, I doubt they need a cult as well.
Cassandra: The word you’re looking for is “dangerous.”
21 - Sera:
Sera: “Oh, demons don’t scare me, I’ll fight ten at once.” Ease up, big horse.
Party comments:
Varric: Anyone can fight ten demons at once. Not dying while you do it? That’s the tricky part.
Blackwall: I know, right? All this just makes my head spin.
Iron Bull: If he wants to fight demons, more power to him. He can fight all the demons he wants.
Vivienne: It’s not arrogance if it’s earned, Sera dear. We’ll see if he deserves it.
Solas: In fact, he acquitted himself quite well.
Cassandra: He seemed… competent.
22 - Blackwall:
Blackwall: You think they’re right? Alexius is setting a trap for us?
Party comments:
Varric: I’m sure he is. Everything about that magister practically screamed “I’m setting a trap!”
Sera: Ugh, a “magister trap.” I bet there’ll be talking.
Iron Bull: He’s a Vint, so… probably?
Vivienne: Alexius reeked of frustration. Strange for a man who seemed in complete control of everything.
Solas: If so, his son and his protege turned against him to warn us. Dangerous schemes are being hatched here.
Cassandra: We need his mages to seal the Breach. We have no choice but to deal with him.
23 - Iron Bull:
Iron Bull: Gotta admit, I wasn’t expecting to find so many Vints here.
Party comments:
Varric: Tevinters and blood mages are like lost socks… or couriers from the Merchant Guild. They turn up in the damnedest places.
Sera: That’s what they do, yeah? Always showing up places? Tevinter must be rubbish.
Blackwall: Didn’t they rule everything before? Maybe they just want everything back.
Vivienne: I doubt they expected to find Qunari here.
Solas: I suggest you keep your eyes open. Our true enemy is not yet clear.
Cassandra: We must be ready for anything.
24 - Vivienne:
Vivienne: Well, the malcontents pledged themselves to Tevinter and joined a cult. I can hardly wait to see what comes next.
Party comments:
Varric: Yeah, I saw something like this back in Kirkwall. It may end with someone turning into a monster made of corpses.
Sera: Arrows. Arrows come next.
Blackwall: Oh, it’ll probably all go to shit, and we’ll be stuck mopping it up.
Iron Bull: Me chopping Vints in half, hopefully.
Solas: There are enough twists and turns to keep anyone occupied here.
Cassandra:  We must untangle this quickly. The Breach will not wait on our intrigues.
25 - Solas:
Solas: Do we believe that both Alexius’s son and apprentice are turning on him? It seems someone wants to trap us either way.
Party comments:
Varric: Judging by the rifts here, I think Dorian was telling the truth, weird as that is.
Sera: Then let’s make them believe that it’s a bad idea.
Blackwall: I don’t know what to believe. All of this seems wrong.
Iron Bull: Vints. They can’t sneeze without stabbing each other in the back.
Vivienne: Whatever we believe, something has clearly changed the rifts in the region. I advise caution.
Cassandra: Their willingness to betray raises the question of whether they will betray us.
26 - Cassandra:
Cassandra: This whole business is distasteful. Perhaps we are better off pursuing the templars instead.
Party comments:
Varric: I’d bet you ten royals whatever the templars are doing is just as weird.
Sera: Just pick one, because both sides need a boot up the jackside.
Blackwall: Whatever we do, we should do it quickly. The Breach isn’t getting any smaller.
Iron Bull: Are there going to be fewer demons that way? Because I’d be up for that.
Vivienne: I’d be careful of that, Cassandra. You don’t want the Inquisition to gain a reputation for abandoning causes halfway.
Solas: We may not have time. The Breach will not wait for deliberation.
Next: Redcliffe Castle

Cockroach and Termite Control in Redcliffe, Queensland
Cockroaches are a common problem in Redcliffe, Queensland, due to the warm climate. They can be found around heat sources and heaters. You may also have problems with termites in the Redcliffe area, as they love moisture and timber. Cockroaches are most commonly found in kitchens and other damp places. Here are some tips for preventing and controlling these pests. Ensure the safety of your family by using bird proofing around your house.
Origin Pest Management
If you've been dealing with a pest infestation in Redcliffe, you've probably tried a variety of different products and homemade insect controls to get rid of the problem. However, it may not be enough to eliminate the problem on your own. For this reason, you may need to hire a pest control service in Redcliffe. The highly-trained professionals at Origin Pest Management can eliminate pests effectively and efficiently.
Total Termite & Pest Control
With a warm climate and gorgeous seaside, Redcliffe is the perfect place to build your dream home. But that warm climate also gives termites and other pests a warm welcome as well. From wooden furniture to garden trees, these creatures can cause more damage to homes than any other natural disaster. To avoid this, call Total Termite & Pest Control Redcliffe Qld today.
Federal Pest Control
Federal Pest Control is a trusted name in termite control in Redcliffe. They have been protecting Australian homes for 25 years. Termites are a common problem in homes in Redcliffe, and are especially prevalent in the region's humid climate. Federal Pest will inspect your property for any signs of termite infestation, and provide you with a thorough report. They can also perform bird control to keep your property free of unwanted visitors.
Bird Proofing
Birds can cause a wide range of problems for both homes and businesses. Their droppings are corrosive, and they can contaminate surfaces, as well as carrying disease. Their presence also contributes to noise pollution, and they can damage buildings. Bird proofing is a great way to keep them away. To learn more about bird proofing, read on. This article will give you information about the benefits and disadvantages of this method of bird proofing.
Termite Inspections
Termite inspections are a vital part of termite control in Redcliffe, Queensland. A professional inspection will identify the source of the problem and recommend a treatment program to control the pests. Because Redcliffe is located in a coastal area, this city is especially susceptible to infestations of drywood termites. The West Indian drywood termite is the most destructive termite species in the world, and it has destroyed timber houses in Redcliffe, QLD.
Termite Management plan
In addition to the damage that termites cause to homes and buildings, these pesky pests also affect the floor. Often, new tenants will simply chalk up the floor's sagging to normal wear and tear. However, damage caused by termites over many years is often not obvious until the floor has broken through a window sill or skirting board. Treatment for drywood termites can cost up to $30 000, and in some cases, the Queensland government has stopped financing their treatments because of the costs.
Origin Pest Management is a family owned and operated business located on the North side of Brisbane, we specialize in general pest treatment and termite treatments.

Termite Treatment Brisbane - What You Need to Know
Termite treatments are vital to protect your property from the damage caused by foraging termites. A reputable company will recommend and carry out a termite inspection before carrying out any treatment, as stipulated by Australian Standards & to comply with your insurance requirements.
Regrettably, significant disparities persist within our industry in terms of quality, knowledge & approach. Many pest control companies craft deceptive websites & operate call centres far away from their actual location & lack the appropriate Queensland licenses. To know more about Termite Treatment Brisbane Cost, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
A full termite inspection is one of the first steps towards a termite-free property. Regular inspections help to detect early signs of termites so that they can be treated before the problem gets out of control. Termite damage is often not covered by home insurance, so it’s important to take the necessary preventative measures.
A thorough termite inspection will include the fenceline, garden, house perimeter, subfloor, internal exposed timbers, and roof void. A digital report will be provided at the end of the inspection, along with a treatment proposal.
A first stage soil barrier treatment consists of trenching around the house and drilling small holes through external paths to form a complete treated zone. This is then sprayed with a liquid termiticide. A second stage may also be required if the area is infested with active termites. This is a more targeted application of the termiticide and will target only those areas infested by termites.
If you’re building a new home or commercial property, a termite barrier is an essential preventative measure. These barriers consist of soil treatments that prevent termites from entering your home or business. These are a great way to protect your property from serious damage, which can cost you thousands in repair bills and lost revenue.
A physical termite barrier is installed by digging a trench around your house or commercial site and filling it with soil that is impregnated with chemicals. These chemicals have been proven in Australian and US testing to block passage by subterranean termites.
A physical barrier needs to be correctly installed and inspected regularly, at least yearly to ensure its effectiveness. Unfortunately, many pest control companies will conduct a “termite check” and recommend a dodgy wooden box baiting system instead of a proper termite treatment. This is because they don’t have a QBCC licence, and are therefore not insured. You should always insist on a full termite inspection before committing to a company.
When it comes to termite treatment Brisbane, pest control specialists offer a wide range of services. They provide preventive measures like the installation of a termite barrier, and they can also treat existing infestations. They use a variety of sprays and other methods to eliminate these pesky pests, which can cause significant damage to homes.
These pests hide within the walls and foundation of a home, making it difficult for homeowners to detect them. Over time, they can cause structural damage that leads to expensive repairs and replacements.
A reputable company will conduct a thorough inspection before beginning any type of treatment. They will identify the type of termite and recommend the most effective option for your property. They will also discuss any additional options for protection, such as a baiting system or physical barrier. These options can add to the total cost of termite treatment, but they are worth the investment to protect your property from costly repair costs.
Termite baiting systems are effective at protecting buildings from termites. However, their effectiveness depends on the type of bait used and the way it is installed. A reputable pest control company will always use established, quality brands of termite baiting systems and offer an ongoing monitoring service to ensure that they work.
A traditional Termite Baiting System consists of a series of enclosed units filled with termiticide placed around the property. The stations attract foraging termites, which consume the bait and then carry it back to their colony where it is spread amongst the rest of the population. This leads to the death of the entire colony. To know more about Termite Treatment Brisbane Cost, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
The advantage of this treatment is that it doesn’t require a chemical soil barrier, which can disrupt your landscaping. However, it is important to note that this method does not provide complete protection and requires a regular inspection by a pest control expert. In addition, the effectiveness of a baiting system may be compromised during periods of inclement weather when foraging activity and access to the stations is reduced.

Power Pest Control Redcliffe
Tumblr media
Termites are incredibly destructive pests. They eat away at timber structures, causing structural damage and creating a potential health hazard for your family.
Regular termite inspections are vital to keeping these slow moving wood-eating pests at bay. Termite inspections are performed by trained professionals using specialised equipment to locate and identify termite infestations. To know more about Power Pest Control Redcliffe, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
A reliable pre-purchase termite inspection is essential when purchasing any property in Redcliffe and North Brisbane. A thorough inspection will reveal any termite activity and allow you to take the necessary action to protect your investment.
Soil-applied barrier treatments such as Termidor are a great preventative measure. When termites pass through the treated soil on their way home, they are killed.
Brisbane’s warm, humid climate makes it easy for cockroaches to thrive. They enter homes and business through air ducts, cracks in walls, crevices, utility entry points and sewer connections. They are often found in kitchens and laundry rooms.
Outdoors, cockroaches can be found in rotting tree branches, leaf litter, tool sheds and piles of firewood. They can also hide in the soil under plants and soffits.
To reduce cockroach numbers, use glue traps along baseboards, under sinks and in bathrooms. You can also apply D-Fense Dust in a duster, puffing it into wall voids, behind electrical outlets and near plumbing connections. This product is a synthetic pyrethroid and works by interfering with nerve signals.
Ants are one of the most common pests in and around homes. They are opportunistic and will enter your home looking for food, water or shelter.
They love rotting logs and tend to nest in these, however they can also forage into gardens where they may disturb flower beds. They are a nuisance in many homes and contribute to structural wood damage.
Keeping rubbish bins emptied, wiping up liquid foods and not leaving pet food out if possible will help reduce ants in your property. Our KM Ant Pro dispenser uses non-repellent sprays to control ants, they are low in toxicity and contain boron which stops the ant’s digestive system.
Rodents are notorious for wriggling into your home or business through the tiniest of openings. This allows them to nestle in secluded spaces such as ceiling cavities or attics and cause severe damage.
They are also a health risk as their droppings can spread the potentially lethal Hantavirus which manifests with flu-like symptoms and may progress to respiratory issues. They can also chew through electrical wires causing fire hazards.
To prevent an infestation, regularly sweep and vacuum the area to remove food scraps, pet bedding, leaves, and other rodent debris. Also install door sweeps and repair cracks, screens vents and chimneys. Consider installing a mouse trap baited with peanut butter.
Mosquito control is a key element in protecting the public from mosquito-borne diseases, like West Nile virus. It involves four components: source reduction, larval control, adulticiding and biological control.
Eliminate standing water in old tires, flower pots, children’s toys and other containers where mosquitoes breed. Change out bird baths, wading pools and rain barrel water weekly, and keep swimming pool water treated and circulating.
Use a larvicide, such as Bti, in artificial ponds and in uncovered rain barrels to eliminate mosquito larvae. Another larval control product is methoprene, an insect growth regulator that disrupts a mosquito’s life cycle. This is a safer alternative to Bti.
If you’re plagued with Bed Bugs in your home, a professional pest control company can help. These tiny ecto-parasites interrupt sleep, tarnish bedding and cause skin problems. They’re difficult to kill and spread quickly without professional assistance. To know more about Power Pest Control Redcliffe, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Vacuum and wash all fabrics in the affected room frequently to limit their spread. Double bag items that can’t be washed, and seal them in plastic bags until they can be properly treated or discarded. Use a crack and crevice treatment on baseboards, moldings, behind pictures, doors and window frames and along carpet edges.

Termite Control Morayfield
Brisbane’s warm climate and older wooden colonial homes are a termite’s paradise. Without regular home termite inspections, these pests can cause serious damage to your property.
Sunshine Pest Management can provide an affordable and effective home termite inspection and treatment. Call today and get your free quote! We cover gardens, fences, timber structures, retaining walls, roof voids and more. To know more about Termite Control Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Cockroaches are attracted to the same environments as termites and can quickly develop into a pest problem. Preventative measures like cleaning, storing food in containers with lids, removing rubbish daily, and sealing crevices and cracks can all help.
Unlike termites which feed exclusively on cellulose, cockroaches are scavengers and will consume a wide range of materials including decaying organic matter and discarded human food waste. They can also contaminate food and water-handling surfaces in your home.
Often referred to as wood roaches, they are typically found outdoors in logs, tree stumps and woodpiles. They may also invade homes in search of food and shelter.
These wingless pests are easy to identify with their carrot-shaped bodies and long antennae. They’re usually found in damp areas with high humidity, such as basements, laundry rooms, attics, and crawl spaces.
The first sign of a silverfish infestation is chewed holes in books, wallpapers and other paper materials. You might also notice yellow stains and black specks around your home.
They’re attracted to starchy foods and paper products so storing food in airtight containers, and reducing moisture levels are key preventative measures. Clearing away outside debris and caulking cracks can also help. If you’re concerned that you may have a silverfish infestation, contact a Pest Ex professional.
Flies are a common problem on farms, horse stables and ranches. They are also a nuisance in homes and can carry disease-causing organisms.
Adult flies enter structures through open, torn or loosely-sealed doors and windows. Their eggs are laid in garbage cans, compost piles, excrement and rotting organic material.
Winged flies are commonly mistaken for termite swarmers. The difference is that swarmers have wings that are all the same length and lack the thin pinched waist that distinguishes ant workers. It is important that you have a professional identify any swarmers found in your home. They are the sign of a termite colony nearby.
Mosquitoes are a nuisance pest, and some species can transmit serious diseases. Using repellents can help reduce mosquito populations. Citronella is a popular choice, as well as plants such as winterianus and nardus.
A mosquito is an insect in the family Culicidae and consists of over 3,500 species. Most mosquitoes feed on blood and can be significant pests in humans and animals, causing disease and discomfort.
Eliminate standing water, trim back trees and shrubs, and avoid stacking firewood near your home. Termites and mosquitoes thrive in moisture, so eliminating moisture is important to protect your listing. Regular termite inspections also assist with early detection.
Lawn grubs are the larval stages of several beetles (including Japanese and June beetles). They have soft, off-white bodies and a set of legs near their head. They munch their way into grass roots and can cause serious damage. They’re active during the summer and early fall, then go dormant for the winter.
They’re a problem in healthy lawns, but especially so where mowing is inconsistent or the lawn is stressed by heat or low moisture. Preventive products containing imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and clothianidin consistently reduce 75-100% of the grubs. Nematodes are another option, but they require proper handling and can be harmed by residual insecticides in the soil.
In addition to being a major nuisance, rats and mice can chew through roof trusses, rafters, and sheathing. This can create holes that may appear as termite damage but are actually rodent damage.
They are highly adaptable and can thrive in many environments. Like their cousins, they are omnivorous and feed on grain, seeds, fruits, and plants. They reproduce rapidly and have a life span of less than a year. To know more about Termite Control Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Mice are curious and will investigate new items in their environment. Rats, on the other hand, are typically more cautious and avoid items they don’t recognize. This can make them more difficult to trap.

Redback Pest Control
Tumblr media
Redbacks are a dangerous, venomous spider that can cause severe pain and muscle weakness. They can also be fatal in rare cases. The best way to prevent them is by regularly cleaning outdoor areas and keeping a close eye on garden tools, shoes, children’s toys, and clothing.
Physically, female redback spiders have a jet-black body with a prominent red stripe on the abdomen, while males are smaller and lighter in colour. Their bites often leave a pinprick puncture wound, and may show swelling. To know more about Redback Pest Control Redcliffe, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Redback spiders are a dangerous Australian spider, and their bite can cause significant illness or even death. The venom contains neurotics that affect the nervous system and destroy blood vessels, as well as nephrotoxins that damage kidneys. If bitten, seek medical attention immediately. Redback spiders usually bite when they are disturbed or handled. Males do not bite, but females may, and their fangs are capable of penetrating human skin.
This makes it essential to be careful around garden sheds, letterboxes and outdoor furniture, which are their favourite hiding places. It’s also a good idea to regularly clear piles of sticks and leaves on your property, as redback spiders tend to nest in them. If you do get a bite, look for a pinprick puncture wound that is surrounded by an area of swollen, red skin. Do not apply pressure or restrict blood flow, as this can worsen the symptoms. If possible, try to find and keep the spider that caused the bite so it can be identified in case antivenom is needed. To know more about Redback Pest Control Redcliffe, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Australia is home to a wide variety of dangerous creatures, including brown snakes, jellyfish, stonefish and redback spiders. These spiders can be found throughout the country and can cause serious illness if bitten. They are carnivorous and feed on insects, lizards and other small creatures. They are usually not aggressive, but can bite if handled or accidentally touched. It is important to stay aware of their presence, especially when working in sheds and garages. If bitten, immediately place ice on the bite and seek medical attention.

Termite Inspection Morayfield
A termite inspection is an important step before purchasing a property in Queensland. Your inspector will thoroughly check the immediate surrounding area of your home and garden. They will look inside small spaces like kitchens, bathrooms and crawlspaces.
Make sure you clear these areas to allow for easy access by your inspector. They will also check for signs of termite activity on the outside walls of your home. To know more about Termite Inspection Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
The warm climate of Australia makes it a great place to live and work but it is also a perfect environment for termites to thrive. These pesky pests will attack homes, buildings and properties if left unchecked and cause extensive damage resulting in expensive repairs.
The first step to taking control of your home and property is conducting a thorough inspection. This is a good idea for homeowners as well as those who are planning on purchasing properties.
All houses in Queensland are required to have a termite management system installed when they are constructed. This is to help prevent termite attacks. While these systems do impede and discourage concealed termite entry they do not prevent it altogether. Your building and pest inspector will provide a detailed report on the termite management system of your prospective property as well as make recommendations regarding conducive conditions that are likely to attract termites. They will also advise on construction methods that are considered to be effective against termite attack.
In Morayfield, properties offer a range of options and are highly desirable due to their affordability and close proximity to schools, shopping centres and a variety of facilities. There are also plenty of over 50s lifestyle communities, such as Thyme Lifestyle Resort Moreton Bay, in the area that are appealing to retirees looking for a quiet and relaxing lifestyle.
With a house median price of $620,000 and unit median of $390,000, it’s no wonder that Morayfield is a sought-after location for both buyers and investors. The suburb boasts a healthy rental market, with houses in the area renting for around $520 per week and units offering a return of 4.7%.
Buying a property is an exciting venture, but it’s important to have the right financial guidance to ensure your budget aligns with your goals. Bribie Island Lending can provide you with personalised financial guidance and help you find the right home loan for your needs.
Termites can destroy homes and other buildings by chewing through their soft interior wood to access life-sustaining cellulose. They are one of the most destructive pests in Australia and cause billions of dollars worth of damage each year. The best way to protect against these destructive pests is to regularly perform termite inspections.
A termite inspection can identify any visual signs of termites as well as any conducive conditions. A termite inspection can also reveal whether or not a property has a current termite management plan. It has become common practice for Queensland sellers to have a building and pest inspection done prior to listing their properties.
Termites are attracted to warm, moist climates and can invade homes from the outside or through plumbing leaks or cracks. Ensure that your home has adequate drainage, is not positioned too close to trees or shrubs and is well-sealed to prevent leaks and cracks. Also, regularly inspect and re-caulk any areas where pipes enter the home.
Termites are destructive wood-eating pests that can damage homes and commercial properties over time. If you suspect a problem, it’s important to contact a termite inspection company to get the situation under control. Otherwise, you could end up paying for costly renovations or even a total rebuild.
In order to ensure a thorough termite inspection, you should clear your home or business of clutter. This includes stacks of paper, clothing and book piles, and other items that can provide favorable hiding places for these pests. You should also remove any structures from touching walls or other structural elements in order to allow your inspector easy access to every part of the property. To know more about Termite Inspection Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Your inspector will check both the interior and exterior of your home for signs of infestations. They’ll also look at any external timbers, retaining wall fencing and drainage around the property. They’ll also scan your roof voids, checking for any potential problems or evidence of termite activity.

Redback Pest Control Brisbane
Tumblr media
The perfect weather conditions have paved the way for an infestation of redback spiders in Brisbane homes. These deadly spiders have been found in outdoor furniture, sheds and mailboxes.
These black spiders with a distinct red/orange stripe on their abdomen pack a lethal punch. Their bites can cause vomiting, sweating and muscle weakness. To know more about Redback Pest Control , visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
There are several early warning signs that a pest infestation is in progress. One of the most obvious is droppings, which are usually sticky or greasy. Another sign is footprints, which tend to resemble smears rather than defined lines. If you notice any of these in a work area, it’s important to react promptly.
Redback spiders are opportunistic predators that eat insects, lizards, and other small animals that become trapped in their webs. They are also fond of eating flies, mosquitoes, and other blood-sucking creatures. Their bites are painful and may lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sweating.
While no one has died from a redback spider bite since 1979, they do pose a threat to humans and should be treated with care. The best way to identify a redback spider is to look for a distinctive black body with a red stripe on the back of its abdomen. These spiders prefer to hide in outdoor furniture, crevices, and playground equipment.
Redback spiders have become common in urban areas due to the shelter provided by sheds, garden furniture and other debris. Their venom is highly dangerous and although no one has died of a Redback bite since 1956 when antivenom became available, it can still cause serious health problems.
Bites from these venomous spiders can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. If you see any redbacks on your property, it is important to contact a Brisbane pest control company right away.
Eliminating hiding spots is the best way to prevent an infestation. Make sure to clear any piles of sticks or leaves on your property and that you regularly clean out sheds, toilets and letterboxes. You can also install flyscreens and weather stripping on doors to minimise their entry into your home. If you do get bitten by a Redback spider, never try to suck out the venom as this can increase its spread to other parts of the body. Instead, use an ice pack on the affected area to reduce pain and blood flow.
If you are not careful, pests can cause structural damage to your property and pose serious health risks for the occupants. Regular inspections and timely pest control interventions can help prevent such problems before they escalate.
Redback spiders are dangerous because of their venom. They are able to ambush and overpower prey much larger than themselves, including humans. However, no one has ever died from a redback bite because anti-venom exists.
They can be easily recognised because they have a bright red stripe on their upper abdomen. They live in sheltered, dry places such as sheds, toilets and meter boxes.
You can prevent them from entering your home by regularly cleaning up outdoor areas, removing clutter and keeping vegetation and grass trimmed back. You should also check for any potential entry points and fix them immediately. In addition, you should eliminate any hiding spots for them like under garden beds, in outdoor furniture or under cornices and weepholes.
The redback spider is a dangerous venomous spider native to Australia. It is typically black or brown and has a distinctive red stripe on the back of its abdomen. If bitten, it can cause severe pain, muscle weakness and even death in rare cases. It is important to get medical attention immediately if bitten by this spider.
These spiders thrive in warmer climates and often move from outdoor spaces to indoor ones for shelter. They love dark, quiet and secluded places like sheds, garages, closets and basements. In order to prevent these spiders from moving indoors, Mr Yehia suggests cleaning gutters regularly and switching white outdoor lights for fluorescent ones. To know more about Redback Pest Control , visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
It is also a good idea to clear webs as soon as they form. This will stop the spiders from building their nests there and may even deter them from entering your home. If bitten by a redback spider, do not try to suck the bite out as this can increase the spread of the venom. Instead, a quick and effective way to deal with the bite is by applying an ice pack on the affected area.

Pest Control Redcliffe - Why It's Important to Get Rid of Bed Bugs and Cockroaches
The fast paced lives many people live in Redcliffe opens new doors to pest infestations. Public transport, hotels, shared rental accommodation are all hot spots for Bed Bugs and Cockroaches.
Bed bugs interrupt sleep, tarnish bedding and cause skin problems. Bug Out Pest Solutions follow a proven pest treatment process for Bed Bugs in accordance with Australian standards. To know more about Bug Pest Control, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Bed bugs are among the most difficult and unpleasant biting insects to control. They have evolved to tolerate many run of the mill insecticides, which is why it takes a pest control professional with ground breaking resistance-breaking fumigation techniques to eradicate them.
Infestations are often spread when people bring in infested furniture or other items from the outside, especially if they do not thoroughly clean them. They can also be transported from room to room and floor to floor via cracks and crevices. Unlike cockroaches and flies, which are attracted to filth, bed bugs do not discriminate between clean and dirty dwellings.
Inspecting for bed bugs should initially focus on the mattress, box spring, and frame. Since these pests can fit into cracks and crevices the width of a credit card, it may be necessary to dismantle the bed and examine its joints and seams. It is also advisable to inspect nearby hiding places such as clothing and draperies.
Cockroaches are a significant pest problem in homes, restaurants and other buildings with food-handling areas. They can carry disease-causing organisms and contaminate foods and surfaces. Their saliva, feces and shed skins can trigger allergies in children and adults.
These insects can be difficult to control with pesticides alone because of their ability to rapidly re-infest dwellings. Therefore, prevention is key to effective cockroach control. Clean kitchens, seal garbage receptacles and wipe down counters and sinks frequently. It’s also important to avoid bringing used furniture, cardboard boxes and other goods into the home, as these can act as pathways for cockroaches.
Both the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) and the Oriental cockroach (Blattella vittata) can invade structures from outside through cracks, crevices and gaps. In multi-unit dwellings, prevent cockroaches from moving between units by filling all gaps with silicone or urethane foam. The gap around the drain of a sink should be especially sealed to exclude cockroaches.
There’s nothing worse than finding Termites munching away in your home, they can cause extensive damage to the structural integrity of your house. It’s important to get these pesky insects removed from your home by the experts. Sunshine Pest Management are the team used by thousands of homeowners in Brisbane, and their specialised Termite Inspection Redcliffe service will have them out of your home in no time.
Termites are eusocial insects that share labor and food in their large colonies. The insects eat wood from the inside out, which causes it to weaken and break apart. They live in soil and typically reach man-made structures through the foundations. They can also enter homes and other buildings in search of a warm, dry environment.
Termite infestations are most common in older homes, but newer houses are just as vulnerable. The best way to prevent a termite infestation is to have regular pest control treatments performed. A professional can spray liquid termiticides around the perimeter of a home or install bait stations to catch the pests before they cause serious damage.
Ants are a nuisance pest and can cause structural damage to homes or pose a health hazard in business areas. They also bring dangerous bacteria with them as they crawl around filthy environments. Many people try to deal with their ant infestations themselves, but this usually leads to problems and complications. Our expert ants pest control technicians use modern techniques to eliminate ant infestations in a safe and effective manner. To know more about Bug Pest Control, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
The odorous house ant (Tapinoma sessile) is a common household invader that feeds on sweets, plant and animal matter, honeydew, meats and fatty foods. Black ants (Tetramorium caespitum) often enter structures from the outside, seeking food and water. The carpenter ant (Micromys fraternus) builds nests in woodwork and can be very destructive to homes and other buildings. Six species of ants sting and defend their colonies and can kill other pests such as fleas, flies, bed bugs, silverfish and cockroaches. Ants are also important pollinators in our gardens and landscapes.

Mosquito Control Solutions QLD
Tumblr media
Mosquitoes are a nuisance pest that can also spread diseases such as Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus. They require water and nutrients to breed.
The best protection from mosquitoes is to minimise their breeding sites around your home. This includes regularly cleaning gutters, draining long lasting puddles and making sure all unused items like bird baths, flower pot saucers and pet drinking bowls are empty and replaced with clean water. To know more about Mosquito Control Solutions, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water, laying their eggs in the moist, cool environments where they hatch into larvae (the immature caterpillar-like form of mosquitoes). Larvicides kill these larvae before they reach the flying adult stage and can break the life cycle.
Hinchinbrook Shire Council conducts regular aerial spraying of granular larvicide in the municipality to target mosquito breeding areas that cannot be treated by hand. The product sprayed is VectoBac WDG which contains Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and Saccharopolyspora spinosa to control mosquito larvae. This naturally occurring bacteria acts specifically on mosquito larvae and is not harmful to people, pets, plants or other wildlife.
Alternatively, you can use slow release granules such as ProLink pellets to kill mosquito larvae in plant pots, bird baths, rain gutters, old tyres and other domestic/commercial breeding sites. These granules contain S-methoprene which simulates the growth hormone in insect larvae to stop them from maturing and reproducing. This product can also be used in larger scale mosquito larvicide applications such as wetlands, swamps and marshes to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes and midges.
Mosquito larvicide sprays kill mosquito larvae, preventing them from maturing into adult mosquitoes that bite and spread disease. Licensed mosquito control professionals can apply Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered larvicides using backpack, truck, or airplane-mounted sprayers to treat standing water where mosquito larvae are abundant.
These products, known as ultra-low volume (ULV) sprays, dispense very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft to kill flying mosquitoes on contact. The optimum droplet size for ULV sprays is between 25 and 50 microns in diameter, which minimizes exposure and risks to humans, animals, cars, and buildings.
Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis) and Spinosad (Spinosadexternal icon, marketed as Teknar, Aquabac, and Vectobac) are two naturally occurring soil bacteria registered as larvicides for use in mosquito control. When ingested by mosquito larvae, they produce crystallized toxins that destroy the larvae’s digestive system and lead to death. Larvicides last only a few weeks in water and pose no risk to nontarget animal species or the environment when used according to product label directions.
There are several natural or organic mosquito repellent granules on the market that will help control the mosquito population without the use of chemical spray. These granules will have to be reapplied every 2 or 3 weeks.
Mosquito repellent granules are easy to apply and offer a non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to pesticides. These granules contain lemon grass, mint and garlic oils that are very effective in repelling mosquitos, while also improving the quality of your lawn and landscaping.
These granules can be applied with a sprinkler or broadcast spreader, and are safe for people, pets and plants. They should be applied 12 hours before a desired area is to be occupied, such as for outdoor weddings or parties, pool and patio areas, campsites, picnics and cookouts. One 5 lb container will cover up to 4,000 square feet. These granules can also be used in conjunction with liquid insecticides such as pyrethrin or talstar. They are not as effective for adult mosquito control as a chemical such as Onslaught, Suspend SC or CyKick CS because they do not contain microencapsulation and will break down in the sun or water over time.
Mosquito control solutions that apply pesticides as space sprays (ground and aerial) are a valuable tool to quickly limit mosquito adult numbers and the transmission of diseases they carry. Modern ultra-low-volume technology and engineering controls have been developed to minimize the environmental impact of these applications. However, social concerns remain.
Adulticides are used to kill mosquitoes on contact and provide rapid control of local mosquito populations during an outbreak. These products are typically applied as space sprays to areas where mosquitoes are most active – usually around dusk. To know more about Mosquito Control Solutions, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Non-chemical approaches to mosquito control include eliminating breeding sites – for example, draining or chlorinating pools, covering or emptying swimming pools that are not in use, cleaning out gutters and drain traps, and keeping fish ponds clean. Other methods include insect repellents and zappers. In addition, wearing loose long-sleeved clothing and pants can help reduce mosquito bites.

Pest Control in Sandgate
The northern coastal suburb of Sandgate is beautiful and reflects the laid-back lifestyle of its residents. Its gorgeous historic residential and civic buildings conjure a bygone era, while its warm climate is perfect for beach days and relaxed coffee shops.
Unfortunately, its seaside location attracts pests that can damage your property and threaten your family’s health and wellbeing. This is why it’s vital to have regular building and pest inspections. To know more about Pest Control Sandgate, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320. 
Termites are detritophagous eusocial insects that consume a variety of plant material. They are able to convert cellulose, the main component of woody plants into a form that is readily absorbed through the soil. Termites are considered pests because they can cause extensive and costly damage to buildings and wooden structures.
All termite species have a caste system with workers at the lowest level and soldiers in the next rank. The next level are the reproductives (also known as alates), which have wings and swarm in warm weather to form pairs of males and females that will establish new colonies.
The local team from Sandgate Pest Control have merged with Flick Anticimex to continue providing commercial and residential pest control, termite inspections, and a range of specialised pre-construction treatments in Brighton, Boondall, Redcliffe, Kippa-Ring, Sandgate, and the surrounding coastal areas under the Flick name. Call us today to arrange a termite inspection for your home.
Bed bugs are efficient hitchhikers and can be transported from one dwelling to another on luggage, clothing, beds, or furniture. They can also invade hotels, apartments, and homes in search of food, causing staff and occupants to suffer from lack of sleep, low immunity, and itchy skin. They are wingless insects that can fit into cracks and crevices, making them hard to detect. They also hide during the day under bedding, box springs, and nightstands.
These pests feed on human blood at night, leaving behind itchy, red bites. They can quickly spread from room to room in crowded hotels or apartment buildings. Bed bug infestations can be difficult to eradicate, and extensive preparation is often necessary. However, identifying the telltale signs of a bed bug infestation can make them easier to treat. Look for dark spots, rusty stains, shedding, and rice-like nymphs.
Cockroaches are a serious problem in Sandgate because they breed quickly and thrive in the warm coastal environment. They can cause property damage and even health risks when they get inside homes and businesses.
Cockroach pest control involves inspection, treatment and ongoing pest management. Our service packages include everything you need to keep cockroaches and other pests away from your home or business.
The most common indoor cockroach is the German variety, which has a dark brown color and two parallel lines running down its body. It breeds extremely fast and can produce 30,000 offspring in a year. It can be found in multiple-family dwellings, restaurants, food stores and other types of commercial buildings.
Preventing cockroach infestations starts with eliminating easy food sources. Eliminate crumbs and spills, keep garbage cans tightly closed, and regularly vacuum the interior of your house. Apply granular products or liquid residual insecticides to wall and cabinet voids. In outdoor harborage areas, remove wood piles, leaf clumps and thick mulch.
Ants are a problem for homeowners because they are attracted to food and can carry bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus and salmonella. They can also infest plants and block drains. To keep ants away, store food in sealed containers and wipe down kitchen surfaces frequently. If you have a plant infestation, remove any affected branches and prune the plant back to the base. You can also deter ants by surrounding the soil with citrus rinds to keep them from entering the house. Black pepper and cayenne pepper also irritate ants and may keep them from entering your home. To know more about Pest Control Sandgate, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320. 
You can make a homemade ant bait by mixing equal parts jelly and boric acid or sugar. Put the mixture on pieces of cardboard or smear it around the infested area. The ants will take the bait back to their colony and ingest it, poisoning and killing them. Diatomaceous earth is another effective ant control option, as the sharp edges of the granules puncture ants' exoskeletons and cause them to die by "death by a thousand cuts." It works best when it's dry and not disturbed.

Termite Guys Brisbane
If termites are left untreated they can cause major damage to your home. Regular termite inspections help prevent the need for expensive repairs.
Look for discarded wings around windows or areas with indoor lighting. A swarm of winged swarmers could also indicate an active termite colony. To know more about Termite Guys Brisbane, visit the Bug Out Pest Control website or call 0426263320.
Termites are attracted to damp spots and a good termite control solution is a reticulation system. These are installed in residential and commercial buildings during construction.
Our termite pest control specialists offer quality, cost effective termite inspections. Our accredited termite inspectors strictly follow Australian Standards AS 3660.2-2000 for all termite inspections completed.
Unlike free “termite checks” offered by some companies, our professional termite inspections include visual checking of the interior of your home or building, accessible roof cavities and beneath the floor of your house. We also check for loose or damaged flooring boards and signs of timber decay as well as identifying areas around your property that need to be addressed to make your property less attractive to termites.
Located south west of Brisbane, Kenmore is made up of many newer medium density housing blocks and townhouses. Because of this we get lots of calls each month from Kenmore residents whose properties appear to be at risk from termite attack.
A termite treatment is needed to eliminate the termites and protect your home from further damage. Our licensed pest control technicians use a premium termite treatment called Termidor, which has an enviable reputation around Australia as the best product for long term residual protection.
Termites can cause significant damage to your property, often leaving extensive repairs and financial losses behind. Our team of experienced pest control professionals can quickly find and eradicate active termites with a range of high-tech equipment, including thermal imaging cameras.
Our Termite Inspections are performed in accordance with Australian Standards and include all safely accessible areas of the property within 50 metres of your home. We can also install a physical or chemical termite barrier to new homes, extensions and renovations, as well as reticulation systems (TermX Replenishment System) for ongoing protection of existing buildings and landscaping. Our reticulation system is designed to be easily installed during the construction phase, but can be retrofitted for existing buildings as well.
Physical termite barriers are a common option for new constructions and renovations. These are usually stainless steel meshes or granulated rock that are fixed around pipe penetrations and other areas where termites might be able to get in.
These prevent inconspicuous termite entry and also keep future infestations away from the property. They also help maintain the structural integrity of a home, which is crucial for its longevity.
Termite barriers can be chemical or non-chemical and are best done as part of a long term termite treatment plan. They should also be backed up with regular termite inspections and baiting stations.
We offer three types of termite barrier products; (Biforce) with the active ingredient bifenthrin, (Termidor) with fipronil and (Termidor) with hexachlorophene. Each has their own benefits and drawbacks. We will recommend the best one for your home based on a comprehensive termite inspection of the site and property. All termite barriers need to be installed by a licensed pest control professional.
Termites can cause extensive damage to the timber structure of your home. If they are left undetected, the result is costly and possibly catastrophic. Termite damage costs Australian homeowners over 1 billion dollars each year – more than fire and flood damage combined.
Regular Termite Inspections performed by our qualified professionals are the key to early detection and managing your termite risk. Our inspectors will conduct a full, thorough investigation of your property as per Australian Standards. This includes inspecting all safely accessible areas within 50 m of your home. To know more about Termite Guys Brisbane, visit the Bug Out Pest Control website or call 0426263320.
Termite reticulation is designed to prevent concealed termite ingress into homes and buildings. The system comprises of a series of slender pipes filled with termiticide which are positioned in the soil around the base of your home or building. The termiticide is then slowly released, saturating the soil and creating a protective barrier. When used in conjunction with a timber bait treatment, the termiticide provides effective long-term protection from invasive and destructive termites.

Redback Pest Control Brisbane
Tumblr media
Redbacks are venomous spiders, a plague that has swept through Queensland. Their bites can cause pain, vomiting, sweating and muscle weakness.
Those who live in areas with many redbacks should regularly clear sheds, letterboxes and any items that are left outside such as gardening tools or furniture. If a spider is found it should be removed (carefully) and put into a jar for safe disposal. To know more about Redback Pest Control, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Queensland is in the midst of a redback plague and it’s no surprise – these hardy creatures love warm weather and eat insects; mosquitoes, flies, moths, cockroaches and other pests. The females are most dangerous to humans as their fangs can pierce skin. They tend to live in dark and sheltered places like sheds, garden rubbish, cracks and crevices of outdoor furniture or under toilet seats.
Redback spider bites can cause a variety of symptoms including pain (which can become severe), sweating, muscular weakness, nausea and vomiting. If bitten, seek medical attention immediately.
Eliminate hiding spots where these spiders can hide by removing garden sheds, meter boxes and outdoor furniture – especially with its nooks and crannies. If you’re unsure how to safely remove these critters, contact pest control experts who can safely and effectively do it for you. The venom of these creatures contains a-latrotoxin which affects the nervous system and muscles. Before the invention of anti-venom, there were a few deaths but since 1956 no fatalities have occurred.
As with all spiders, a bite from a redback can be dangerous for the elderly and young and should be treated seriously. The venom can cause headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and in extreme cases paralysis. However, fortunately only about 2% of bites are deadly.
Redbacks are recognisable by the bright red stripe on their back. They are robust hunters and thrive in dry environments like sheds, gardens, pergola areas and even pool pumps. Females are the venom carriers and can be distinguished from males by their lighter colour, often with white markings on their abdomen and a muted version of the bright red stripe.
Bites from these spiders can be prevented by wearing gloves and shoes when gardening, shaking out clothes before wearing them and getting your home and garden regularly treated by a qualified pest control technician. This treatment will not eradicate the pests but will keep them away for longer. As well as treating the outside of your property, you should lift the lid of your dunny seat and check under it regularly.
Redbacks thrive in warm climates like Brisbane’s and they often invade homes. Their sub-tropical climate also provides ideal conditions for them to breed. It is usually the female redback that poses a threat as she is large, black in colour and has a distinctive red stripe on her abdomen.
The males of this spider are smaller and do not bite. They live around the periphery of the females’ web and scavenge their leftovers. They can be found in sheds, log piles and gardens as well as under garden furniture, meter boxes and toilet seats.
Redbacks build their webs in sheltered, dry areas, so it is important to eliminate possible hiding spots. This can be done by eliminating piles of debris, gardening carefully and shaking out clothing before wearing it. It is also a good idea to wear gloves and shoes when working in the garden, keep children and pets away from woodpiles and rubbish piles and have regular pest control treatments at home and in the yard.
Termite inspection services are the best way to protect homes from termites. A qualified termite inspector uses a range of tools including moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to locate and identify termite colonies. This information is used to provide the homeowner with a detailed termite report and recommendations.
A typical pest treatment includes a general spray around the property as well as targeted treatment of problem areas. It also involves repairs to probable entry points and restoration of damage. It’s recommended that fish tanks be covered and all pumps and filters turned off during the treatment.
Redbacks often hide in sheds, piles of junk and letterboxes so it’s a good idea to clean these spaces regularly. It’s also a good idea to check shoes, slippers and gloves before using them especially if they’ve been left outside for a while. It’s also a good idea for parents to regularly check children’s toys for red back spiders. To know more about Redback Pest Control, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.

Termite Inspection Morayfield
Tumblr media
Termites are one of the biggest threats to homes in Australia. These pests can destroy walls, flooring and roof beams, leaving you with a condemned home and huge repair bills.
Getting a pre-purchase building and pest inspection is highly recommended for any property you’re considering buying in Queensland. It will help you avoid costly defects and make an informed decision. To know more about Termite Inspection Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
Termites are a real problem for homes that are built from timber and are known to cause over $2 billion in damage each year. This damage is almost always not covered by homeowners insurance, so it’s important that you protect your home against them. Termite inspections are the best way to ensure that your house is protected from these destructive pests.
A professional building and pest inspector will visually inspect the property for signs of a termite infestation, including areas such as gardens, yards, fences, sheds, woodpiles and roof voids. A termite inspection also covers a range of internal areas, including walls and floors.
A reputable termite treatment company can really turn the tides in your favour when it comes to preventing termites from attacking your home. But be careful of companies that seem too cheap, as they may not use the most effective and safe termite barrier products. Instead, choose Bug Out Pest Solutions who have the experience and the team to give your home a real defence against these destructive pests.
If left untreated, termites can cause extensive damage to homes and commercial buildings. In fact, the pests are responsible for global damage worth billions of dollars each year. This is because they feed on wood and are known to destroy entire structures.
Many homeowners don’t realise they have a termite infestation until it’s too late. But there are certain steps you can take to minimise the risk of this destructive pest.
The first thing you should do is minimize the use of mulch near your home or in your gardens. Mulch consists of wood chips and can attract termites. You should also stack firewood away from your home and ensure the concrete foundation is well-sealed.
Subterranean termites build their colonies in soil and are attracted to moisture, so it’s important to keep water and humidity levels low around your property. This means repairing leaky pipes and cleaning your roof gutters regularly, as well as making sure your drainage systems are working properly.
While most people think of termites when it comes to wood destroying organisms (WDO), there are actually several different kinds of these pests that can damage wood in your home. These include powder post beetles, old house borers, and certain types of fungi.
All of these insects require moisture to thrive. If your wood has too much moisture, they will swell and cause structural damage to your property. This can lead to buckling or spongey-feeling wood on floors, porches/decks, walls, and attic beams.
In addition to the damage caused by these WDOs, they can also create a musty odor and leave behind fecal pellets that look like coffee grounds or sawdust. In order to prevent these wood-destroying organisms, you should take steps to eliminate the conditions that can create them.

Termites
Termites are destructive wood-eating eusocial insects that occupy and damage homes, offices, and other structures. They can chew through a building’s framing and cause costly structural damage.
Termite colonies can contain thousands or millions of individuals. They are governed by a caste system that includes reproductives, workers, soldiers, and nymphs. Several species are known to infest buildings and other structures. These include dampwood and drywood termites.

Crazy ants are attracted to outlets and electrical components and can cause them to malfunction. They release alarm pheromones when electrocuted and summon other ants to help. When enough ants touch the live wires, they will get shocked and could shut off your air conditioner or short out appliances.
Spray an equal mixture of water and vinegar on ant trails to erase their pheromone scents.
Cockroaches carry germs and trigger allergies in some people. They also shed bits of their skin, which can cause asthma symptoms when inhaled. It’s important to limit their hiding places by sealing cracks, crevices and gaps.
Outdoors, cockroaches live in damp locations such as garages and basements, wood piles, drains and water meter boxes. Indoors, they hide in cupboard cracks and under appliances.
Bed bugs, once a worldwide problem, have made a comeback. They infest homes, apartment buildings, hotels, dormitories and shelters, mainly because people unknowingly bring them home on clothing and luggage.
Adults and nymphs are wingless and flat, allowing them to fit in crevices where they hide by day. Their bodies elongate after feeding. Infestations are often identified by dark spots of dried excrement and by a foul, rotting smell.
Although wasps have a bad reputation for their painful stings, they play a crucial role in ecosystems. They help with pest control and nutrient cycling. However, they can become a nuisance when they build nests in people’s backyards.
When a wasp’s nest is disturbed, it will defend itself by stinging intruders. To reduce the risk of getting stung, remove the nest during the night when they are less active.
Mosquitoes are slender, segmented flies that belong to the family Culicidae. They have one pair of wings, halteres and three pairs of long legs. They also have elongated mouthparts.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. This includes water features, bird baths and buckets, flower pot saucers, or low patches in your lawn that collect rainwater. Eggs of Anopheles and Culex are laid on the water surface in raft-like clusters.
Fleas thrive in hot and humid climates. They are most active in sheltered animal enclosures, crawl spaces where feral animals may sleep, and vegetated areas adjacent to buildings.
Their laterally compressed bodies allow them to move swiftly through the hairs or feathers of their hosts. They can also attach themselves to clothing, shoes, blankets and pet fur. Their mouthparts are modified for sucking blood.
Ticks are a serious problem for people who live in wooded or brushy areas and like to spend time outdoors. These arachnids transmit a number of serious diseases that cause symptoms such as fever or chills, body aches and headache, and rashes.
Ticks are more difficult to repel than mosquitoes, but rodent-targeted approaches and deer fencing can provide effective protection for residential properties. Also, new plant compounds with acaricidal effects are being explored.
The bee is a winged insect that feeds on flower pollen and nectar. Its branched body hairs help it recognize the smell of flowers.
Bees use the bristles on their hind legs to comb through the anther cells of flower petals to collect pollen grains. Then, when the bee lands on another flower, it transfers the pollen to the fertilized pistils.
Pesticides can disrupt hives and cause long-term damage to wildflowers and other flowering plants. To prevent drift, do not spray near puddles where pollinators may drink.
Wasps have some of the most interesting and complex life cycles. These hard-working insects build nests to house their colonies.
Observe their flight paths and look for the rounded, grayish-brown nests that they construct. These can be found in sheltered spots such as roof spaces, wall cavities, bird boxes under eaves and sheds.
Care should be taken when spraying a wasp nest, particularly if the homeowner has an allergy to the stings. A professional pest control company can assist with safely removing wasp nests from your property. To know more about Power Pest Control Redcliffe, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
