Other Insects
Insects are a common part of everyday life, and while they often come inside as uninvited guests, they can be quite useful. Many species of insects can help to keep down the population of other pest species meaning they can be an important part of keeping the home environment clean and healthy. But if you notice more than one or two insects, you may have a much bigger problem lurking in your home…
Silverfish
A pest that is increasing in prominence. Treatment, monitoring, and dehumidification can control this insect.
Carpet Moths
These insects are attracted to natural materials, especially wool and can destroy carpets, tweeds, and valuable clothing. Treatment of affected material and areas will kill both adults and larvae.
Ants
Ants usually start infesting in mid-March. Finding the nest is the key to solving infestation with these tenacious insects.
Millipedes
Milipedes enter premises from the outside and can be found in huge numbers under footpaths and in bark mulch. Numbers can be controlled but it is very difficult to fully eradicate.
Woodlice
These insects love damp areas and come in from the outside. The optimal way to control a woodlice infestation is with an insecticide treatment and dehumidification.
Booklice
A tiny insect that appears in most homes. Booklice thrive in damp areas. Control of a booklice infestation can be achieved using dehumidification methods and insecticide treatments.
Cluster Flies
These insects infest roof spaces and Velux windows at the end and the beginning of Autumn. They can make their way into bedrooms and living spaces causing distress among homeowners and businesses. Cluster flies are treated by fogging infested areas with a suitable insecticide.
