Al-Maani Pest Control

With more than 2000 spider species on the mainland, spider infestation is a serious problem in Australia. These insects do not get bothered easily. Though most of the Australian spider species are harmless. But few of them are very toxic such as Mouse spider, Funnel web spider etc. 

Learn more about these species and how to identify them in our detailed article on spiders treatment removal in Victoria by the AL-MAANI pest control service. 

Here, we are leaving a short guide on how you can get rid of these creatures with home remedis. 

Peppermint oil:

Spiders dislike strong smells. Also, spiders smell and taste through their legs. When you spray a solution with solid perfume, they have no other way but to leave the place. For the best result, use 15 to 20 drops of peppermint oil in a bottle of water and spray the solution to the surface. Other essential oils with distinct smells also work well. But for an effective result, use peppermint oil.

Vinegar:

Neither only peppermint oil, spiders also despise vinegar. This is one of the most effective insecticides you can use in homes. Moreover, vinegar solution is safe to use inside a residential home. To make a vinegar solution, please take an equal amount of vinegar and water. Later mix it in a bottle. And spray over the places affected by spider infestation. If possible, spray it directly on spiders. They are going to run asap. 

Spider catcher:

Spider catcher is a hand-operated basic gadget used for picking up spiders without killing them. When you are using vinegar or peppermint oil, spiders try to run away. Use a spider catcher at that time to pick up any left spiders and release them outdoors. Thus, you do not harm the balance in the ecosystem too. 

Cleaning & Dusting:

Cleaning your place regularly is the easiest way to keep spiders or other insects out of your house. Whenever you see a spider web, dust it well. Later on, spray some citrus solution over there. Make sure you have removed all the silks of the web.  

Removing clutter:

Why are you cluttering your house? It not only looks ugly but also provides space for spider infestation. Keeping your place neat and tidy also decreases the chance of further spider invasion to your place. 

Limit light:

Lights don’t attract spiders. Yet the chances of having spiders under strong lights are higher. That’s why always keep lights limited whenever not necessary. Also for outdoor lights, it can be used as a trap. Insects generally gather around strong lights. When you keep one light on, the pests are going to gather around that. It will be easy to catch and eliminate them. 

But handling spiders need experience. If you are not confident enough, it is always better to call for professional assistance like the AL-MAANI pest control service. Our expert team is talented and trained for general residential pest control in Melbourne. We will do a good job in spiders treatment removal in Victoria with full protection and preparation.

Long before people used to wake to the sweet tone of birds. Yes, it was long before urban living flourished. Later, the world started changing and so did its people. The standard of life has also been changed. Forests are getting sold and cut down to modernize our surroundings. At the state of this emergency, there are some new problems have arisen. Birds are invading people’s places and nesting. Messy garden, birds’ poop all over the place and cars, destroyed flower pots, and scattered nesting materials are some of the common issues people face when there is a close habitant of birds to your place.

That’s why around the globe, many birds nest removal professional services are available. If you are a citizen of Australia, ask for AL-MAANI pest control service for bird nest removal control in Melbourne.

Why Do You Need A Professional Help:

There are a few accidents that happen when there are bird nests in homes or offices. As the nests can be found anywhere. You may find them in an unused stove, or fan vents in winter. If you have not moved your car from the garage for a long time, there is highly a chance that you may find at least one nest there under the car in boiling summer.

In cases like that, your life can be threatened under such circumstances. Also, the bird might as well lose its life. In both cases, eliminating the risk of any mishaps is nearly impossible. That’s why you should search for help.

What Professional Help Means In Bird Nest Removal:

Destroying the nest and killing the eggs inside is a cruel job. Rather than doing that, professionals help to move the nest safely to a better place where birds can be freer. These workers have enough knowledge to understand the purpose of nesting. They also know when a particular bird’s breeding season is. With this knowledge, they can set up the correct time to remove the bird's nest and shift it to another place.

Precautions To Take:

Here is a step-by-step guide to measuring the preparation and precaution you need to take.

Locate the bird's nest. If it is in a fan vent, make sure not to turn on the fan till you finish the removal process.

Learn about the species of the bird. The species of a bird tells about lots of things like how many times it builds nests, its characteristics, breeding period.

If it is the breeding period of the bird, wait for the season to end. We certainly don’t advise you to break the eggs.

Make sure the birds are away from nests. Find out what is the time they leave and return to their nest before you declare a nest empty and destroy it.

Use gloves and different clothes while removing the process. Don’t touch it with bare hands. You certainly don’t want any disease to get spread through you.

Later on, discard the gloves and dress in the right process.

Have you found a dead animal lying within your property premise? The rancid and disgusting smell obviously drag you to the place and made you discover it. Now, what are you planning to do? 

Ready to remove it on your own? Better seek dead animal removal services in Melbourne or wherever you stay in Australia. The continent is blessed with all sorts of living creatures and it should not be impossible for you to find a carcass lying on your land ever. 

If you are looking for dead animal removal services in Melbourne you don’t have to be disappointed. There are several pest control agencies that offer dead animal carcass removal services.  It is always a better decision to let the professionals do the job as they 

Come prepared with all the necessary tools 

Come prepared using all protective measures that ensure the infections don’t find ways to spread

They know ways how to dispose them of following the rules applicable in your locale/city

They ensure they disinfect the space where the carcass was lying before they leave the place. 

Why it is not a good idea to keep the carcass unattended for days?

It will attract other animals, mainly the scavengers. 

It will become the breeding ground of  germs 

With each passing hour, the rancid smell will become even more intense and intolerable 

It is a disgusting sight anyone will loathe without doubt

It can be a disturbing sight for children and very sensitive people

Your neighbours will not stop complaining about it

A wise man wouldn’t try doing it without ensuring the maximum possible protective measures for himself. The carcass of the dead animal attracts innumerable bacteria and pathogens from their surroundings. 

Spiders are commonly spotted across several households, commercial spaces and outdoor areas in Australia. Spiders are everywhere globally and they too have a part in maintaining the harmonious balance in the ecosystem. 

Being overly generous towards them by tolerating their presence at home or in the commercial facility can be your choice. If not, seeking services of home pest control in Melbourne or where you live is a good idea. As spiders too have the right to live and keep contributing positively to our environment, seeking professional help for their safe relocation is necessary. Killing them unnecessarily is not the solution always. 

Nevertheless, in some situations when the infestation is just too high to tackle, the service of an exterminator might become necessary. Home pest control in Melbourne experts also say they try to chase off these creatures and ensure they won’t revisit anytime soon. Killing is the last option they keep for themselves unless the pest is a threat to people around and is a severe infestation case. 

They ARE NOT Deadly

Spiders are air-breathing anthropods and are known to be friendly in general. They look scary and disgusting to many but they hardly are a threat to lives around. Spiders DO NOT spread diseases to humans, pets, and living creatures around. They can cohabitate with humans without endangering their lives mostly. Why ‘mostly’? Because few spiders are dangerous as the venom attacks the human nervous system. 

The extent of damage can be severe for small living creatures but is rarely fatal to humans. Spider bites will cause allergic reactions and sharp persistent pain around the wound site. But, they are not fatal. The bites from bees might cause more severe allergic reactions. According to a researcher specialising in envenoming, allergic reactions to bee bites are more likely to cause deaths than a spider bite ever would.

The Poisonous Ones- Not Deadly! 

In Australia, the most poisonous spiders are -

Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti)

Sydney Funnel-Web (Atrax robustus)

Trap Door Spiders ((Idiopidae family)

Mouse Spider (Missulena sp.)

Huntsman Spider ((Sparassidae family)

Melbourne is one of the most liveable cities around the world.  Its excellent infrastructure, natural stunning scenarios, world-class healthcare facilities, good growth prospects, and stable society are the reasons people flock here. 

Besides the growth prospects,  the adventures, and picturesque natural wonders, the city is world-renowned for its finger-licking food. Melbourne in Australia is ranked among the world’s 18 top food cities.

It enjoys a worldwide reputation for its food and beverage industry. 

Hygiene Matters Besides Taste and Quality 

People in other Australian states/cities and from destinations beyond the continent come here to taste its food with great expectations. The restaurants and eateries need to walk the extra mile to keep their reputation high, where not just delicious food is served but also full focus is given to the hygiene aspects. 

Restaurant owners/managers have to access professional pest control services in Melbourne at regular intervals of time to ensure their premises are pest-free and that consumers are safe to have food from their facilities. 

Legal Requirements

Pests trailing around the commercial kitchen of the restaurants and eateries don’t define a hygiene place. Food businesses not just in Melbourne but across the continent are legally required to 

Stop pests from entering the food premises  

Eradicate and prevent the infestation of pests and contamination of the food 

The Food Standards Code specifies these and makes it legally mandatory for all the food businesses operating in Australia to adhere to these. 

Common Pests & Their Hideouts

The most common pests lurking around in the kitchens of restaurants/eateries are 

Cockroaches

Rats

Mice

Ants/Flies

The most common hideouts of pests in a commercial kitchen or a place where the food items are produced include 

Under the kitchen sinks

Inside wall cavities, crevices and cracks 

Inside the food storage bins

Inside the food packages, boxes and cartons. 

Behind and around the refrigerator, microwave, coffee machines, and other kitchen appliances.  

The dark, moist, and shabby regions inside the kitchen 

The space between shelves and cupboards

Professional pest controllers know how to deal with them at their hideouts quite well.

Essential oils are not just valuable additions to your personal care collections. Their productive applications extend far beyond just personal care. The aromatic properties of these oils have a far greater effect than only calming the mind and relaxing the mood. 

Though seeking general pest control services by professionals is the best idea when the infestation is intense, one can resort to essential oils to chase off pests. Rodents, Roaches, Arachnoids, and Ants are not big fans of essential oils. 

Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil can be effective as a pest repellent. It helps to chase away mosquitoes, ticks-n-fleas, flies, earwigs, mites, and roaches. For indoor use, combine it with water or other pest repelling essential oils and spray it on infected areas. Add around 10 drops of eucalyptus oil to a half cup of water and make the solution.

Tea Tree Oil

The aroma of this essential oil is very strong and intense. The smell is intolerable to roaches, lizards, spiders, ants, insects, and flies. It is also effective against lice, and parasites. Take 10-15 drops of tea tree essential oil and mix it with a half cup of water. Spray the solutions at areas where you suspect the concentration of pests issues.

Citronella Oil

This oil is popularly used in insect and arachnoid repellent products. It can also help you repel cockroaches, mosquitoes, bugs and ants from your property. Mix this oil (10 drops around) with water or rubbing alcohol to make a solution. Spray it at infested areas. 

Lavender Oil

Lavender essential oil is highly effective, as high as 93%, as a mosquito repellent according to research. Add 15 drops of lavender oil with half a cup of water or rubbing alcohol to make your mosquito repelling solution.

Wrapping up

These oils are not only a good addition to your DIY spray bottle for repelling pests, but also you can apply them to your skin so that pests don’t get to bite you or harm your skin ever. 

Australia is home to arrays of pests in abundance crawling on its land, flying in the air and cruising through its water carefree. Every living creature has the right to live and grow, but the unprecedented growth and concentration of certain pests can challenge peaceful human habitation. 

Spiders and Termites might not attract attention owing to their size, but they are big troubles in small packages. Especially the statement is true for Termites. 

Termites

Termites can devastate the frame of your property and cause colossal damages. Reportedly, they cause around $700 million of damages to housing properties across the continent every year. It is a fact that 1 out of every 3 houses in Australia falls prey to termite infestation at least once. 

There are more than 350 native and introduced termite species on the continent about 40 of which are harmful, damaging and disastrous in every sense. The most common termite species annoying the house owners across the nation are Coptotermes, Neotermes, Microcerotermes, Mastotermes, Cryptotermes and Nasutitermes. The most damage-causing termite happens to be the Giant Northern Termite. They all love to feed on wood and harvested crops. 

Western Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria need special mention as these places are the areas that suffer termites infestation and resulting damages most of all. 

Spiders 

Now, these spiders may not be aggressive, destructive, and damaging as termites are, but they might bite if provoked. Australia is home to some prominent venomous spider species including Huntsman spider, Redback spider, Trap Door spider, White-tailed spider, Recluse spider, and Funnel-web spider. 

The common house spiders that disgust property owners with their creepy look and possibility of a bit (on provoked) are Huntsman Spiders, Golden Orb Spiders, St Andrews Cross Spiders, Wolf Spiders, and Redback Spiders. 

Control Pest with Pest Controllers 

Australia is a favourite harbourage to an innumerable and diverse range of pests, and reptiles. Poisonous snakes and spiders always need an enhanced expert and specialized level of professional intervention that goes far beyond the scopes of general pest control services. 

Pest controllers are trained to trap, relocate or if necessary eradicate Possums, Insects, Rodents, Cockroaches, common House Spiders etc. 

Pest causes billions of dollars to the continent destroying properties, food, and agriculture and transmitting diseases into the continent. It further adds to the woes by endangering a broad range of native species (encompassing both the flora and fauna world on the continent). 

Rat Plagues

Rat plague strikes the continent once in 7 years (approximately) devastating agriculture and livestock, forcing people to live a miserable life. In certain regions of the continent, it is seen that the plague tends to reoccur and recreate the devastating scenario every four or five years. The abundance of food and easy accessibility to it following a humid summer condition offers perfect breeding grounds for menacing mice. 

Sometimes the damage is in record numbers jeopardizing the ecosystem balance and financial backbone of the entire continent. Infestations at dwellings (both urban and rural areas) render them unlivable.  

Besides ruining all the food sources they could manage to contaminate and damage mercilessly, and marking almost everything with their urine and droppings everywhere, they also proceeded to chewing insulations and wiring. The scenario possibly gave the people one of the most harrowing experiences they could have in living memory. 

Some reports even narrate the scariest stories where mice had bitten patients lying on hospital beds. The damages to food crops only stand near a whopping figure reading AUS1$ Billion. 

Summing up

The infestation endangers the native species and causes colossal calamities. Unintentional poisoning of birds through thoughtless use of pesticides is a growing concern after the plague starts easing. 

There are several consistent pest problems creating utter annoyances to the delicate balance of lives here. Amongst all others the rodents are the culprits behind the maximum massacre here. 

Mouse plague is something that people outside China and Australia might feel peculiar about. But, those living in China and Australia are aware and have suffered remarkably due to it. Mice and rats pest control tactics fall flat to combat it initially. 

In this blog, we will discuss the mouse plague that terrorized every person and other creature across the continent of Australia. Australians will remember the plague caused by these nasty little menaces back in 1993.  It caused massive damage to lives and property almost throughout the length and breadth of the continent. 

How does it impact the lives on the continent? 

The plague is more visible in regions where the cultivation of grains is common. It is only obvious as rats have a weakness for grains and love to munch on them. Their concentrated population, the tendency to trespass our territories, the tendency to damage our food crops and almost anything that is chewable and their unfailing habit to transmit diseases wherever they pass through have made the lives of people on the continent miserable. 

One can categorize the impact into two broader segments on the basis of where and what types of damage it causes. 

On-farm 

The damages here revolve around the farm and its associated lives and properties. The commonest is the damage to our food crops at every stage of production and in storage units. Farm animals also suffer tremendously as rats bite them and contaminate their food, paving way for the disease-causing germs to enter their bloodstream. 

Off-farm 

Such damages revolve around properties, infrastructures, utilities and facilities. These are the damages brought by rat infestation to electronics, electrical appliances, household goods, office supplies, industrial goods, service-based industrial sectors like restaurants etc. 

The expenses necessary to eradicate the rodents and clean up the mess also amount to off-farm damages. 

So,

Rodents are true terrors to humans anywhere, especially in Australia where their growing number takes the disastrous form of a plague.

The ecosystem needs all its members but in its requisite concentration only. Excessive growth and adamant trespassing do upset the balance, endangering all other species. 

The ecosystem is not about humans only. It extends manifold times beyond us to encompass all possible sorts of living creatures. The ones that are in the lower food chain also are crucial components, supporting the ecosystem to balance itself.

Any sharp declination or excessive concentration of any species, regardless of how beneficial they can be, can upset the balance. For ensuring the survival of all and sustenance of our biodiversity, the maintenance of balance in the ecosystem is a must. 

Rodents are not a threat if they could identify the territories that are not to be tiptoed. Also, if they could control their increasing population from multiplying, it would have been a different scenario. But, it is not in reality. 

Rodents feel free to trespass on our properties, damage our food, and most importantly, they do spread diseases. They do have the right to flourish but not by endangering our floral species, livestock, and human lives. 

Rats are serious threats to the healthy sustenance of the Australian native fauna and flora. Often it is found that rats are one of the reasons behind the extensive damage to agricultural production worldwide. Not just rodents, but other members of its family, like squirrels also are responsible for the demise of several endemic species. 

Insects are the pollinators of several flowering plants that positively support agriculture to flourish. They also serve the ecosystem by being scavengers and decomposers. But, they also can be a nuisance. Pests insects damage crops extensively, leading to the food crisis and can impact livestock. Proper handling of the insects, behaving as agricultural pests, becomes necessary. 

Locusts cause massive agricultural destruction, causing famine situations. Weevils, Thrips and other insects make plants more vulnerable to diseases and restrict their growth. Diseases from insects (mosquito and kissing bugs for example) can threaten human lives and destroy livestock.

Australia’s food industry comprises around 15000 businesses of all possible sizes and relevant types. Both in terms of employment and economic output, Food & Beverage is the major industry domain in Australia.  

Food Industry in Australia

The most prominent Food & Beverage categories encompass seafood, meat, grains, dairy, confectionery and wine. The Australian food industry takes pride in manufacturing and delivering natural eatable items with negligible chemical residues. 

Safety, Quality and Value are of the utmost importance. The food and beverage industry strictly adheres to the established safety standards all through the supply channel. From manufacturing to proper packaging and product development, every phase undergoes proper inspection and scrutiny to ensure the highest standard possible. 

Food Safety Against Pests 

Under Standard 3.2.2—Food Safety Practices and General Requirements, food business owners and managers must practise everything necessary to prevent pest concerns. They need to ensure no pests seek entrance inside the food premise or dwelling at your food production or deliverance/serving sites!). The vehicle or transports means should not have any sort of infestation. 

Pest Threats to Food Crops

Australian organic vegetable and herb production, covering a range of items, is growing at a faster pace. This thriving industry faces a higher level of risk from pests at the manufacturing stage, like food crops. Also, the food storage units and transfers require an added layer of protection against pests damaging food. 

Though Australia is blessed to escape the presence of several alarming food crop pests, it still does run the risk. Its biosecurity system is not fully immune to pest attacks. Some noteworthy plant pests common in the continent are- 

Fruit Flies

Karnal Bunt

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Guava Rust

Almond Moth

Wheat Stem Rust

Potato Cyst Nematode

Texas Root Rot

Plum Pox Virus

Wheat Stem Stawfly

Citrus Canker

Hessian Flies

Subterranean Termite 

Exotic Longhorn Beetles

Exotic Army Worms

Khapra Beetle

These pests can devastate food production and agricultural industries. The government is devising national actions plans to eradicate these creepy threats to its biosecurity. 

Pest Control by Professionals 

The information so far indicates the fact that devising and following a strategic pest management plan is a must. Professional experts delivering general pest control services in Melbourne, Victoria, and elsewhere can be of assistance. They, being professionals, can 

Identify quickly the pests and what types of treatment to formulate

Spot the sources of infestation

Locate their trails like areas they frequent often to render the treatment

Properly and carefully store the pest control tools to avoid them coming into contact with food ever (like not in close proximity to food preparation and storage areas)

Decide and guide on how frequent the food business site needs a pest control treatment

Ensure to use only those pesticides approved for use in and around food premises. 

Remember

Household pests and plant pests both are threats damaging the food stock and transmitting diseases inside the continent. Let the government deal with more pressing needs on a vast scale. 

At the lower level, it is we who need to take initiatives to keep the safety and hygiene standards of food and beverages at par excellence.

The Culprits Crawling Your Property 

Rats & Mice

They are the most annoying and disgusting pests, and a complete menace to any household, office, warehouse, factory, or anywhere you can name. Diseases caused by rats and mice are Borreliosis, Leptospirosis, Melioidosis, Plague, Rat-bite fever, Tularemia, and Murine typhus.

Bees & Wasps

Reportedly, bees and wasps do not transmit any disease to humans and pets. They might bite, and their venom causes allergic reactions. Also, one feels pain around the bitten area. 

Why would you tolerate anything at your home that might bite your dear ones? 

Cockroaches

Creepy, and disgusting, their infestation at home/office gives an 'ew' feeling undoubtedly. They carry arrays of infectious diseases, including food poisoning. Common diseases caused by roaches are Salmonellosis, Typhoid Fever, Cholera, Dysentery, Leprosy, Plague, Campylobacteriosis, and Listeriosis.

Pestering Birds

Yes, some birds can also be pests when they tend to nestle at your concrete nest. They mess up the surrounding. Bird droppings reportedly can transmit as many as 50 types of diseases to humans. 

Some most prominent pest birds commonly seen in Australia are-

House Sparrow

Barn Owl

Welcome Swallow 

Common Myna

Bowerbirds 

It also damages your property, messing up your paintwork, making your walkways slippery with their poops, clogging the pipe holes with nest building materials etc. 

Spider

Creepy and Scary, Spiders are notorious for these! Spiders don't bother anyone until and unless disturbed. They hardly bite, but they do bite for sure!  

Their sting venom has allergic reactions. In some cases, it might cause swelling in the face/mouth, difficulty in talking, tightness in your chest, or trouble swallowing or breathing. 

Summing up

We don’t know if cockroaches are that scary to make someone jump out of their skin. But, the sight of cockroaches crawling around does make many jump on bed or couch! How dare these nasty little creepers scare you at your home? Time to invest in reliable cockroach pest control solutions. 

Cockroaches transmit diseases to humans. Your house occupants are not safe with cockroaches being around. Roches love to manoeuvre over dirty dishes, toilet seats, sinks, rotten food, dustbins, and where else not. 

Their Hobby is To Mess Up with Food!

Imagine these creepy creatures marching across a dirty toilet seat and then crawling over the leftover food you plan to have in breakfast. How does it feel? Yak! Isn’t it? But, many of us have relished such food merrily multiple times. 

Ok, the intention of this blog is not to disgust you. But, it is true that you had and will have to enjoy such meal frequently with roaches at your home. Resorting to professional pest controllers becomes inevitable to combat such situations. 

They are stubborn and shameless!

Remember a movie line “no matter how many times you flush them, they keep crawling back”. Movie name? That’s not important. The lines, however, state the fact clear-cut. With professional cockroach pest control experts in the scene, you can weaken the ‘crawling back no matter what’ attitude of roaches. 

One or two of these crawling bugs visiting you doesn’t mean there are two only. It might signal you about the presence of many more creepers hiding at top-secret corners of your house. Kitchen, Bathrooms, Closets, Attic and Basement are favourite hangout zones of these nasty little creepers. 

How Professional Prove to be Helpful? 

The severity of the situation decides how serious the chasing off or elimination effort should be. Watching the YouTube videos and reading long articles will not make you an expert in chasing the pests overnight. Roaches are specifically difficult to deal with for a novice. 

Inspect the property and try to identify the hot zones frequented by roaches. Glue traps help a lot in this task. 

They also might conduct a detailed inspection of the refrigerator, stove, and other appliances (inside and out). 

Experts look for signs of infestation inside the bathroom around the drain, bathroom fixtures, and the lights. Inside the bathroom cabinet also they might hide. 

They use Gel baits, Granular Baits, and Sprays to eliminate the troublemakers. 

The sealing of gaps, cracks, or crevices, which develop due to wiring and piping found through the walls in the utility closet, helps. 

Before sealing probably the entry points (gaps, crevices), they might use wet-n-dry vacuums to pull out the cockroaches hiding there. 

The use of all-natural boric acid dust and diatomaceous earth dust helps in roach elimination without polluting the surroundings. 

Most pro-grade pest control treatment services don’t need the house occupants to stay out during the process. 

Post the treatment, they will inform you when the family members can move freely again. Children and pets need special attention here. 

Summing Up 

These are undoubtedly the biggest (not sizewise obviously) nuisances trespassing your property. Show them tolerance at your own risk. And, the risk involves your property damage and several severe health concerns. 

Mice and Rats pest control comes to the frame because of it. We cannot provide room for these rodents in our buildings or house. 

Let’s find here valid reasons to chase them off or eliminate these nuisances without feeling guilty about it. 

HEALTH HAZARDS

An array of severe health concerns await to greet your loved ones and you if you ignore the infestation. 

Some diseases are directly carried by rates. And, there are also certain diseases that rats transmit indirectly, where an intermediate arthropod carrier of germs (like mites and fleas) transfer it. 

Rat bites, droppings, and urine are responsible for causing diseases like Rat-bite fever, Salmonellosis, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. 

The urine of rats is reported to spread Leptospirosis, which is the culprit behind causing Kidney and Liver damage. Complications might further include cardiovascular issues and renal failure. 

The urine and saliva of rats also cause an infectious disease (viral), lymphocytic choriomeningitis. 

Bubonic Plague or Black Pague is a terror that tops the rat-borne disease list. It claimed millions of lives in the past and still is enough to threaten our longevity. It happens when rat fleas bite us. 

If you have any food item contaminated with rat saliva and their droppings (god saves you!), you might need to rush to the hospital with a life-threatening food poisoning complaint. 

The risk factor for people with breathing complaints, like asthma, triggers manifold at homes with the rat infestation. 

Rats are indirectly responsible for causing infectious diseases like Colorado Tick Fever and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. 

PROPERTY DAMAGES

One pregnant rat leads to several offspring in rapid succession. Let us remind you the rats and mice will chew through your property. 

They chew on anything with their razor-sharp teeth that you hardly ever knew to be chewable. 

 Wood

Asbestos

Bricks

Cement

Plastic

Aluminium

Papers

Furniture

Upholstery items

Only glass, metal, and thick plastic materials at your place stay immune to being bulldozed by its teeth. 

Increased Activities During the Cold

Rats and mice pest control needs get more urgent during the winter months. These annoying creatures look for warmth and comfort our indoors can provide. The food is yet another factor they have a very soft corner for. 

They are less active during the cold (don’t tour and socialize much), but it is not a piece of happy news to you (your uninvited guests feeding on your food). 

Call the Professionals Immediately

Rat killing poisons, baits, and traps will be not of much use if novices set them. On the contrary, the haphazard use of these means will put the house occupants in danger. 

The very sight of spiders hanging on its web makes the blood run cold for many. It is not a hyperbolic expression. It is true for many people. There are poisonous spiders that can bite you and infect your general health. 

This fact necessitates the importance of seeking spider treatment services from professional experts. Else, it would impart a ghastly appearance to your place and makes your dear ones live in constant fear. 

You don’t want it, do you? We pen down this blog assembling interesting information from multiple sources on spiders. 

Spiders 

These antisocial pests love to inhabit places less frequented by humans, including attics, garages, basements, guest rooms, closets. 

All spiders are poisonous, and these venomous creatures are widely present across the length and breadth of the continent. 

The most feared Australian spider across the world is Sydney Funnel. Their venom is highly toxic, even fatal if bitten by a male spider. Other highly venomous spiders found in Australia are 

Redback Spider 

Mouse Spider 

Trap Door Spider

Northern Tree and Southern Tree Funnel-Web Spiders

Recluse Spider 

Australian Tarantula 

Web of Threats

To stay clear from the beginning let us inform you that spiders do not carry and transmit any disease. Nevertheless, they are dangerous unwanted creatures cohabiting with you. 

The danger lies in the fact that they can bite, releasing venom from their fangs that can threaten lives. If not a fatal shot, poisonous indeed it is. Who needs poison, less severe or more severe, injected into the blood? 

Spider bites might be either Neurotoxic or Necrotic. 

Neurotoxic-The venom released at the bite site spreads into the blood to cause the neurological system. The symptoms include muscle cramps, paralysis, sweating, etc. 

Necrotic- The venom does not spread much. It causes minor damages like swelling, pain, skin blackening, or ulcer formation at the bite site. 

Spider Treatment Services 

The bites, neurotoxic or necrotic, are both sound scary. Plus, the formation of spider hives and spiders crawling at your place shows you are very careless about the cleanliness aspects. 

Pesticides Don’t Help Much

Spiders stay comfortable and protected in their delicate webs. As they hardly walk or crawl across surfaces, spraying pesticides will not help much. 

You might spray the insecticide in the cracks and crevices frequented by spiders. 

Vacuum Cleaning 

Use vacuum cleaners at the places you suspect spider infestation. The suction force helps tear and pull the spider web along with the creepy creatures. 

Sticky Straps

Many people have used sticky straps to trap spiders. Spiders feed on flies and insects. If you can use the straps to trap other insects, these will act as bait to the spider. Coming to devour and in the process gets trapped. 

Water and Vinegar Mixture

Mix water and vinegar in equal portions and spray at the spider-frequented areas. 

Essential Oil-based Sprays 

To make homemade spider pesticides you can also consider adding any of these oil in water and spray- 

Citrus oil

Peppermint oil
