We’ve been pest controllers in Dubbo for over twenty years…
In that time we’ve helped a lot of home owners and learnt a lot about pest control in Dubbo and the local area…
The most common question we get asked is ‘How often does my home need pest control treatments?‘
Honestly the answer is not as often as you think it does…
Advertisers and the media are quite fond of scaring you.
Think how often you’ve opened the local paper to headlines like ‘Fatal Snake Bite In New South Wales‘…
Now we’re not saying that these things don’t happen…
Unfortunately snakes, spiders and termites are always going to be a problem in Australia…
But if you look after your home properly, pest control should not be too much of a problem for you.
Our professional recommendation is that you keep on top of pest inspections and plan pest control treatments in advance.
Every month…
Check around your home for signs of pest infestations. Termite infestations in Dubbo are a common problem. Make sure you are aware of the signs of termite infestations and how to prevent termites in your home.
Every 3 months…
Have a big clean up. Rather than spring cleaning, have a clean with every season. Keeping your home tidy and junk free prevents pests from settling in. The most common places to find snakes or spiders are quiet unused rooms and messy, cluttered garages and sheds.
Then every year…
Make sure you get your home professionally inspected to check you haven’t missed anything. Annual pest control inspections are the easiest way to keep your home protected from pests.
An annual pest control treatment or spray is recommended if you live in a home that is at risk to pests. In Australia 2 out of every 3 homes will have termite problems and there is no completely pest free area.
Recent termite damage we found in a local property.
We always recommend a yearly treatment to keep termites and other creepy crawlies out.
Obviously if you suspect a pest problem in-between your yearly inspection dates you might want to contact a local pest controller….
The sooner you fix a pest control problem the better!
Never be put off of a pest control treatment by the price.
Remember, although you might not like paying for pest control, the cost of not doing it is a lot higher…
