females will try to find a nice safe place to lay their eggs holding hundreds of spiderlings at a time removing any spiders webs and eggs that are in hidden spaces will reduce the chances of you and your family getting a big scare.

Here are some areas and issues to address to stop your house being a friendly spider environment. Garages underneath house in storage areas throughout the house. in dark corners, the cupboards, underneath cupboards and benches and cabinets. These areas normally containing clutter and stored goods boxes, and personal effects. These areas becoming a new hangout where spiders will lay many more eggs where you don’t expect making these areas thoroughly clean will help prevent spiders setting up shop in your home.

A clutter free and well maintained property will also make your pest treatment more effective. As you can appreciate pest technicians can’t display all over your clothes and personal effects.

You will find as the weather gets hotter and more humid, it becomes very favorable breeding conditions for these little menaces.

These guys are little experts at hiding and flying under the radar and going undetected till it’s too late. Cockroaches carry pathogenic bacteria spreading germs and disease such as Salmonella streptococcus cockroaches can also have the viruses like polio virus just to think they’re crawling around on your benches and on your benchtops without you even knowing while you’re asleep. Disgusting, right? Alright guys, here’s some spots to watch out for. You can find German cockroaches breathing in cracks and crevices under benches underneath the sink lip in your kettles around the fridge lining in the seals, in microwaves underneath stove tops, coffee machines, they love these areas around hot and cold pipes. They love the warmth on the warm pipes and get the condensation off the cold pipes. All these areas producing a perfect environment for these guys to thrive and survive undetected. German cockroaches are one of the most difficult species to bring under control for some customers. If not treated correctly, these guys can just breed exponentially, then you have little to no chance to bring them under control if you’re not getting treated properly. Look what we do different here at slugger bug to treat German cockroaches. Number one, we identify harborage hotspots. Number two, advise the customer of non chemical resolutions.

Hello, it’s Jason here from Slug a Bug pest solutions coming at you from the beautiful Brisbane City. Today I’m going to be talking about a huge and costly issue affecting Brisbane homes and homeowners. Subterranean termites are so small, they find it quite easy to gain access to concealed entry points in your homes undetected. Then bam, straight into feeding on your timbers. Termites can be quite aggressive at times and cause damage very rapidly. I had a customer that had their bathroom damaged in six months period. Demolish from top to bottom by termites. Owners not noticing too little is way too late. This could just be heartbreaking finding out your home has just been destroyed by such a small pest. Subterranean termites are such a huge problem because they travel in mud tunnels underneath the slabs in the ground protected from all the elements and predators. Just constantly expanding their colonies, you’ll usually find the offending colony within about 100 meters radius of their area being attacked. My customers always asked me, Is my area high risk? Well, to answer that question, termites are everywhere. They produce termites that have wings called lates. They normally have a couple of swarms a year, you’ll find the young king and queen go off to meet their mates. When they meet their mates they start a new colony. The queen can live up to about 25 years producing 2000 eggs per day. few spots bring termites around your property. That’s a good sign that they are probably close by. And I recommend you call your local pest technician to arrange to have a termite inspection carried out immediately. If you live in Brisbane or the Gold Coast that’d be me Jason from slug a bug. Termites are smart little bugs they will normally enter through areas such as cracks in the concrete slab pipes in the bathroom, normally found nesting the moist areas and dripping taps, leaking pipes, faulty guttering. You know trees touching the house from the external walls, wood piles that are up against the house. All these kinds of things forming bridges so the termites can go straight over your termite treated zone. Subterranean termites cause more damage at homes in Australia than floods, fires and storms combined. insurance companies with their house insurance will not insure homes for termite damage, leaving you with a big damage bill. It’s essential that if you find termites you do not disturb them because if you do, they are very weary creatures. And then when they’re disturbed, they will often retreat and restart destroying timbers in other areas of your home that are concealed providing safety and cover. If you come across termites or winged termites around your property, doing damage call me Jason at Slug a Bug pest solutions on 1-800-959-6632. Arrange a comprehensive termite inspection. If we find you have active termites, we will carry out a spot treatment on your house using the latest and best non repellent chemicals. So we gain full colony control.
