What Are You Dealing With?

Pick your pest for treatment details and local advice. Not sure what you have? Send Bob a photo and we will tell you.

Cockroaches

Fast-breeding and tough to shift with retail sprays. We use gel bait that clears the whole colony, not just the ones you see.

Termites

The quiet wreckers of Western Sydney homes. We inspect with thermal imaging and protect with baiting and barriers.

Termite Control

Ants

The most common call we get. Sprays only scatter them, so we bait the nest and treat the perimeter to keep them out.

Ant Control

Spiders

From redbacks in the yard to funnel-webs after rain, we treat the dangerous ones and the nuisance ones alike.

Spider Control

Rats & Mice

They chew wiring and spread disease. We bait, set tamper-resistant stations, and seal the gaps they get in through.

Rodent Control

Bed Bugs

Stubborn hitchhikers that hide in beds and furniture. We treat thoroughly and return to catch any that hatch later.

Wasps

Aggressive when disturbed and a real risk near the house. We remove nests quickly, usually on the same day.

Wasp Control

Bees

Bees matter, so where we can we relocate a swarm with a local beekeeper rather than destroy it.

Fleas

A headache for homes with pets. We treat indoors and the yard to break the cycle at every stage.

Possums

Noisy roof guests. Possums are protected, so we handle them humanely and block the way back in.

Possum Removal

Silverfish

They quietly ruin books, paper and clothes in cupboards and roof voids. We treat the spots they love to hide.

Carpet Beetles

Their larvae chew through carpet, wool and natural fabrics. We target the source, not just the adults you spot.

Mosquitoes

More than an itchy nuisance in a Sydney summer. We treat breeding spots and resting areas to bring numbers down.

Through the Year

Common Sydney Pests by Season

Pest activity shifts with the weather. Knowing what tends to show up when helps you stay ahead of a problem.

Spring

Sep to Nov

As it warms up, ants, wasps and spiders become active and colonies start to grow. It is also when termites send out their flying swarms looking for new homes.

Summer

Dec to Feb

The busy season for cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and wasps. Heat and humidity across Bankstown and Liverpool speed up breeding, so numbers climb fast.

Autumn

Mar to May

As nights cool, rats and mice head indoors for warmth. Male funnel-web spiders also wander after autumn rain, turning up in garages and yards.

Winter

Jun to Aug

Rodents peak indoors, nesting in roof voids and wall cavities. Cockroaches shelter in warm spots like kitchens, and bed bugs stay active all year round.

Not Sure What It Is?

Quick Pest Identification Guide

A few tell-tale signs that point to the pest behind the problem. When in doubt, a quick photo to Bob settles it.

Droppings or smear marks

Small dark droppings and greasy marks along skirting usually mean rats or mice.

Mud tubes or hollow timber

Mud trails on walls or timber that sounds hollow points to termites.

Insects in the kitchen at night

Bugs scattering when you flick the light on are almost always cockroaches.

Bites in a line and spots on sheets

Itchy bites in a row plus tiny blood spots on bedding suggest bed bugs.
