No Need to Entertain Spiders and Termites at Your Home
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
SpidersÂ
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.Â
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.Â
Control Pest with Pest ControllersÂ
Chasing them off the property will be a challenging task without professional pest controllers at the rescue. The continent is home to pests, but your home need not shelter them.Â
