Spider and Termite Pest Control in
Canberra and Surrounds
Spiders
Spiders, for the most part, are beneficial around the house. However, they can also be a pest to humans and pets alike. Spider bites can be painful and can also cause skin ulceration, they can even be fatal at times. On a small child or pet, the results can be quite dramatic, so it is crucial to conduct effective spider management to reduce this risk.
In the winter months, spiders tend to retreat to warmer and enclosed areas to lay eggs; in the summer, they are more active. As the leading spider management experts in Canberra and surrounding areas, we use safe and effective means for the control and removal of spiders around the home or commercial premises.
Precautions to Follow If You Have Spiders
Some ways to avoid unpleasant surprises are to check your bedding before going to bed, vacuum regularly, remove noticeable webs, fill in gaps in walls and under doors to prevent entry. It is good practice not to leave clothes on the floor and shake them thoroughly before putting them on. Make sure you call our expert team at the earliest for inspection and pest removal.
Termite Control
Canberra has many different species of termites in the region. Some species can cause damages that can be costly within a short amount of time. Termites can travel up to 100 meters from the nest site looking for food, they do this by travelling underground and will be undetected entering your building. We recommend a termite inspection of your property once every 12 months.
Termites Inspection
At Dr Maks Pest Control, we use modern techniques and tools to carry out termite inspections, including utilising a thermal imaging camera and a moisture meter. We will inspect all accessible areas like the subfloor, the yard and all structures on your property where growth is possible. We will advise you of any past or present termite activity along with any conditions conducive to termite attacks on your property.
Termite Monitoring and Treatment
We can also install termite monitoring stations around the property to intercept termites before entering your building. We offer several different options for the control and treatment of termite activity, including baiting active termites, location and treatment of colonies, and preventive barriers.
Evidence For Termites
Termites are not often detected by the homeowner, as they travel underground, or inside timbers. Sometimes, you may see a swarm of flying insects inside or around your property, and this could be a termite flight. Other indications might be moving floorboards or hard to open doors and windows. Do not disturb the termites, do not spray them with anything, instead immediately arrange for a termite inspection.
