Pest Control Cairns
Living in such a beautiful part of the world can sometimes have its drawbacks, as with any tropical location around the world comes the abundance of life in the form of insects and other forms of creepy crawlies, and Cairns is no exception. Pest problems in Cairns are a major issue for locals and tourists alike.
There are a wide variety of pests that we deal with on a regular basis in the pest control industry in Cairns, from the ever present cockroach infestations to the invading ants in our kitchens and pantries, from the over population of termites in some of our most sought after suburbs, to the seasonal onslaught of mosquitoes biting at us as soon as we venture outside. In Cairns we are not immune to our creepy crawly friends from invading our homes and properties. That's why Pest Control Services are so important. |

Once identifying the species you are on your way to help control them as many pest species respond better to different treatment methods available and some treatment methods will be completely useless in treating your target species that you may have. |

Pest control servicesCockroaches – There are several species of cockroach that we are often called out to control in our local area, the main species being the American cockroach, Australian cockroach, German cockroach and the Brown Banded cockroach.
Cockroaches are known to carry diseases, so it is understandable that you would want to have your house treated for these pests. The way in which they can spread these diseases is through contact with your food, utensils and other household items and also through the spread of pathogenic organisms through their faeces and secretions. Ants – A real nuisance pest to nearly everyone in North Queensland, the tropical climate and weather we experience here creates the perfect environment for many ant species to flourish and prosper. Some ants can be quite difficult to control without the right knowledge on their different feeding and nesting habits. For instance, some ants will readily feed on sugar based products while others will prefer oil or protein based products. Some ants will nest indoors and others will nest outdoors. Some ants will be more active at night while others will take that time to rest. |
Spiders – Cairns has a lot of local creatures that can be quite scary such as crocodiles, snakes and jellyfish, but when it comes to spiders most of the spider species we deal with around here are just your local household spiders which don’t pose a serious threat to you or your family. Some of these are the Daddy long legs, Red House spider, Grey House spider and the Huntsman.
Termites – There are many different Termite species in North Queensland and many of them will be happy to feed on grass and decaying trees/logs around the area and won’t pose a threat to your home and belongings, however some species can be incredibly destructive if they find a way into your house, property or business. In North Queensland it is strongly recommended to have Termite inspections done to your home and property on a regular basis to help reduce the risk of termite damage and activity. Inspections will help you identify things you can do around your home to help reduce the risk of possible future termite attack.
