Two Little Creepy Pest Species in Australia: Smaller in Size but Seriously Annoying

Australia is blessed naturally with jaw-dropping natural wonders and attractions. The thriving professional culture of the dynamic cities here with an impressive quality of life and great outdoor lifestyle facilities make Australia rank among the best places on earth to live. But, every good thing comes with a few challenges as well.

Australia owing to its vast and versatile resources attract not just humans but pests of all kinds to its continent. It is true that pest problems are not restricted to any geographical limits. It is a problem people deal with worldwide. Nevertheless, Australia is the home to arrays and also some of the world’s worst and hardly spotted creepy crawlers.

Are the Non-Deadly Pests Also A Source of Concerns?

Maybe not all these pests are direct threats to humans but cohabiting with them under the same roof or in close proximation to them can be challenging. Pest infestation always puts elderly people and children at risk. We all are vulnerable to it irrespective of age but they are the worst sufferers along with our furry friends (pets at home).

In addition to it, the financial issues that start arising for attending to the damages caused by pest infestation severely tax both the physical and mental health of the people.

The financial, mental, and physical stress of cohabiting with pests is too much to not take steps for their relocation or total eradication from the area (if necessary).

The list will contain a lot of pests that the continent harbours but the blog here sheds light on two small-sized but utterly annoying ones.

So, Who Are These Little Two Creepy Nuisances?

Spiders

The world hail Australia as the “spider capital”, something not to feel very proud about. Over 2000 species of spiders find Australia their “home sweet home”. Though non-aggressive creatures, spiders crawling inside the home are not a pleasant and safe scenario. They play a crucial role in maintaining the eco-balance but inside houses and offices, they are the pests.

Hideous as they are to most people, dark hideouts are their comfort zones. They enter inside through gaps in flooring, windows, cracks and crevices.

Some common household spider posts are Huntsman Spiders, Funnelweb Spiders, White-tailed Spiders and Mouse Spiders. The largest spider is the Eastern Tarantula found in Australia.

Spiders don’t bite unless provoked or they feel threatened. But, tolerating their presence for this cannot be a sensible decision. Erase the threat by calling Al-Maani Pest Control to chase off spiders from your property via expert spider treatment services. Also, get rid of the creepy-looking cobweb they build at your place.

Termite

Any property owner hates them like anything for obvious reasons. Causing around $700 million worth of damages to households annually across the continent, these pests are pretty expensive!

Giant Northern Termite wears the crown of being the most destructive termite. Coptotermes happen to be the most hated termite in Australia due to their property devastating tendencies.

Termites feed on wood and harvested crops. There are three types of termites namely Dry Wood, Subterranean and Damp Wood.

Reports show that 1 in every 3 houses in Australia is infested with termites. Termite infestation needs immediate expert attention or the damages will be too expensive to bear. They lay around 2000 eggs each day!

We, at Al-Maani Pest Control, are just a call away. We start the pest treatment process the moment you approach us to ensure no further damage to your property happens.

The audacity to DISTURB but not be DISTURBED!

Spiders look creepy and can scare others, especially the small kids and pets at home. Even adults do get scared of it! But, spiders often are misunderstood as some serious threats to us. They do not transmit any diseases to humans.

They bite only if disturbed by humans around. If you don’t mess with spiders, they too won’t chase you to bite. The irony of the situation is they do not wish you to disturb them while they feel free to disturb your privacy at your home!

The THREAT

They do bite. Some spiders in Australia can be dangerous as their venom can cause serious health threats. Small kids and pets are more vulnerable to a threat caused by a spider bite.

Their favourite chill-out zones at your home may be in the outdoor sheds, in hidden cervices of your property, under the furniture in your garden, garage attics, in your basement, storerooms etc.

Spider bites release venom into your bloodstream that can cause pain and swell at the site. Brown spiders and Widow spiders are known to cause severe systematic reactions with their bites. In extreme cases, the victim might experience heavy sweating, muscular twitching, abdominal pain, problem in breathing, saliva secretions etc. Unconsciousness also might happen.

A sign of a place being dirty for long

Spiders with their web give a very nasty feeling, rather a creepy feeling to the house occupants. Also, spider web anywhere in a room suggests that the place is not properly being tidied up for a long time. A neat and clean space cannot have spiders crawling around or resting peacefully in its web.

Spiders are not the guests you need to entertain and offer a resting space. Unless you have some magical powers to chase them off on your own, seek professional help to get rid of them.

Professional SPIDER Treatment Services

Professional pest controllers providing general pest control services in Melbourne know their job better. They are not cruel poachers or pest hunters. They know how to show them the exit without unnecessarily harming any living creature.

They will first try to identify the spiders and inspect the property for webs. They use eco-friendly but effective insecticide around the doors, windows, porches, inside patios, baseboard closets, garages etc. For stray spiders, they generally place multi insect glue boards or straps at areas they frequent often.

Some tasks are best to be left to the professionals. Trust them!
