Always on time
Punctuality. A personal bugbear of mine [pardon the pun] is people not being on time. I know how annoying this can be when you're a busy person, with better things to do than wait around for the pest man to arrive. If I am held up on another job, or stuck in traffic, I will call to let you know that I will be late. |
Always Respectful
I live by the rule of treating others as I would like to be treated. I will respect you, your family & your home & be attentive to your pest control needs. |

Termites:
EVERY house should have a termite inspection done at least every 12 months. Even if you think your house is a low risk, there is always a chance & with 1 in 3 houses experiencing some degree of infestation at some time, it's much wiser to get an annual inspection, than to wait until you, the home owner finds them. By that time they have usually done significant damage to your home, which can be extremely costly to fix, but can also cause a major disturbance to your household. I have had instances where I've had to pacify people in tears, when I've given them the bad news. At Eradicator Pest services we send you an electronic report, which not only tells you if you've currently got, or previously had a termite infestation, but can also let you know if there are any conducive conditions at your property to encourage a termite attack, so that you can do a bit of housekeeping to minimize the risk. We can also test-drill all of the large trees on your property to identify if there are any colonies present nearby. If we do find termite activity, we will discuss treatment options with you. We then implement an appropriate management programme to eliminate the termites. I usually prefer to install a baiting & monitoring system, as it gives us the best chance of eliminating the entire colony, whereas chemical barriers can be breached, break down after a while & may not kill the whole colony.

Ants:
Ants can be particularly difficult to treat, as they have such large numbers in each colony, they can be living inside wall & ceiling voids & external grounds & you may have several different species on your property, each requiring different treatment methods. Eradicator Pest Services therefore use a number of different products, depending on the problem at hand. We use repellant & non-repellant liquid treatments, as well as granular baits & gels. The most important thing about ant treatments is to ask the client where the main hot spots of activity are & to conduct a thorough search while carrying out the treatment.

Cockroaches & spiders:
There are 2 main types of cockroaches that we deal with. The 1st one is the German cockroach. These cockroaches don't like to travel far. They are often transported from one place to another in 2nd hand white goods & appliances, or in packaging, such as food produce boxes. If you live in an apartment they often travel from one unit to the next via drains & pipes. They mostly like to inhabit kitchen & bathroom areas, so that they are close to warmth,moisture & food & they like dark, enclosed harborages, such as cupboard hinges & fridge motors. They are often found in commercial kitchens & restaurants. To treat these successfully Eradicator Pest Services uses non-repellant gels, permethrin dust & repellant & non-repellant liquids treatments.
The other type of cockroach goes under the broad name of the American cockroach, but others in the category are the Australian, Oriental, Smokey Brown & Broad Banded cockroach. These are the larger, rounder bodied cockroaches. They often inhabit roof voids, living in the timber joints & in sub-floor areas, especially voids under suspended concrete slab floors, where they often hide between the corrugated forming metal material & the concrete slab. These areas often have high condensation too.
The treatment for these cockroaches is to usually treat the roof void & sub-floor with permethrin dust & spray the internal floor edges & external perimeter. Also any out-buildings, garages e.t.c. The treatment for webbing spiders is similar, except we treat further up the external wall, into widow & door frames & spray around the eaves of the house.
This treatment will also control silverfish.

Ticks:
The Northern Beaches & North Shore areas of Sydney are particularly bad areas for ticks. This is partly due to the large amount of dense bushland & wildlife in these areas. A lot of people have the misconception that the Grass Tick is a different insect to the Paralysis Tick. The Grass Tick is actually just the larval stage. The adult tick lays up to 3000 eggs in the Autumn. When the eggs hatch, the larvae climb on to vegetation looking for a blood host. This is usually a possum or a bandicoot. Once they are engorged, they drop off. They then moult & become nymphs in Spring. They then follow the same cycle & become adult Paralysis ticks in Summer. Tick bites are most prevalent when the weather is hot & humid, as ticks dessicate & die, when the weather is very dry. Eradicator Pest Services uses Bifenthrin for tick treatments. We treat all of the foliage & lawn areas, using a broad fan spray. These treatments are very effective these days & will give relief from a very troublesome pest.

Rats & Mice:
Most homes will have had a rodent infestation at some time. Most roof voids we enter, show evidence of rodent deffication & we often find footprints in the sub-floor. A treatment usually consists of placement of rodent baits throughout the roof void & sub-floor. We try to place the baits close to the eaves & foundation walls, as the rodents like to run close to the edge. If your home has no roof space & is constructed on a concrete slab, we can install lockable rodent boxes to the exterior of your property. These boxes are pet & child proof & also ideal for placement around commercial buildings & apartment blocks. |
Fleas & Carpet Beetle:
People often don't realize they have Carpet Beetle. The larvae eat animal matter, such as hair, wool & insects. This is why they eat wool carpets & because they usually eat from the edge, clients often think it is just wear & tear, or sun damage. The treatment for Carpet Beetle is usually to treat the entire carpet area, or as much as we can, if furniture cannot be moved. A flea treatment is conducted in much the same way, using a broad fan spray over the carpeted areas & to timber flooring, as the fleas often hatch in the tongue & groove joints. We then sweep the insecticide into the flooring, to make sure it has got into the joints. We also put a larvacide into the mix, to kill any larvae, as they emerge from the eggs. |

"Nigel Wood found West Indian Drywood Termites. at a Newport property. Identifying this species can even be challenging for an entomologist, so for Nigel to do this without a microscope & identification key demonstrates considerable skill & knowledge. He showed considerable public spiritedness and genuine concern for the interests of his client."
