The first sign of a bed bug infestation is usually the appearance of bites on the arms, neck, torso, or legs. You may also find live or dead bugs. Collect a sample for positive identification. Clusters of small stains or droplets of dried blood on furniture and bedding may also be found. These stains are the bed bugs’ faecal droppings. They may be accompanied by shed skins, because bed bugs shed their outer skin, or moult, as they grow. Shed skins are amber in colour and resemble the shape of a bed bug.

Management of bed bugs should begin at the first sign of a problem. The longer an infestation is allowed to exist, the more difficult and expensive it will be to control. It may take several months to get rid of bed bugs if there is a large infestation

Pesticides alone, or the use of any single method, will not eliminate bed bugs. A strategy that includes a number of methods is absolutely necessary, especially in multiple unit facilities like flats, shelters, dormitories, medium-density estates, and hotels.

Bees and wasps and other flying insects are generally beneficial. Bees help pollinate flowers. Wasps are parasitic toward some harmful creatures such as caterpillars that can destroy a large area of crops.

But if not dealt with properly, bees and wasps can be a danger. These insects are stinging insects and can produce a sting that is very painful. Some people have allergic reactions causing the need for immediate medical attention.

Restaurants & Bars, Hospitality & Leisure, Industrial & Construction, Offices, Food Processing, Other Business

For any commercial entity, choosing the right pest control company is a crucial decision.

The risk profile caused by pests varies according to the activities of a business or organisation, so it is important that your pest control service program is appropriate for your pest risks.

For example, some pests are a much higher risk for certain types of businesses – moths are high risk for companies handling textiles, cockroaches for foodservice businesses and bedbugs for hotels – make sure that your service program covers any specific threats you face.

Similarly, tolerance to pests varies according to the risks they pose to your activities – a mouse in a construction site is a nuisance, while a mouse in a food factory will close the facility and may lead to prosecution – ensure your service program is targeted at your risk level.

Let us design a pest management program tailored to your business.

Ten fleas might not seem like a big threat at first. But in just 30 days they can reproduce and multiply their numbers up to 250,000. That’s what we call a flea invasion!!

These blood-sucking parasites are enough to make your skin crawl! Although they tend to feed off cats and dogs, they can sometimes bite humans out of desperation. Without a living thing to feast on, fleas cannot survive.

Flea control treatments start with the application of a low toxic synthetic pyrethroid insecticidal spray. Carpets, timber flooring and skirting boards need to be treated and sometimes external area such as subfloor, garden, lawns, verandas, patios, decks, garages, etc are treated as well.

Fleas are firstly controlled by shampooing your pet with a safe, residual insecticide. Your vet may have recommended a very safe insecticide called pyrethrin, but this will only last a day.

The shampoos we recommend contain “Permethrin”, which are technically called a synthetic pyrethroid. They will last a lot longer and aren’t as dangerous and smelly as are other Organo-phosphates such as Diazinon & Maldison.

Tip: Look at the active ingredients section at the front of the bottle or can. Always follow the application and safety directions on any flea pest control product.

We recommend that you shampoo your pets every 2 weeks in the summertime and about every month in winter
