Other Pests

Common “Other Pests” We Treat

1. Rodents (Rats & Mice)

Rodents are more than just a nuisance — they can cause structural damage, contaminate food, and carry disease. Common species we encounter in South East Queensland include roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice.

Signs of rodent activity:

• Droppings around kitchens, pantries, or storage areas

• Chewed wires, insulation, or timber

• Noises in ceilings, walls, or under floors

• Nesting materials in hidden areas

Our rodent control services include:

• Inspection & identification of entry points and infestation areas

• Targeted control using traps, baits, and exclusion methods

• Advice on prevention and proofing, including sealing entry points and managing food sources

• Safe and humane removal where appropriate

Rodents breed quickly, so early action is essential to protect your property and prevent reinfestation.

2. Pantry Months and stored product insects

• Pantry moths: Also called Indian meal moths, they infest stored food products like grains, flour, nuts, and dried fruits.

• Weevils and other stored product pests: Can infest grains, rice, and cereals, contaminating food.

We can eradicate infestations and provide advice on storage practices to prevent them returning.

3. Carpet Moths

Carpet moths are small moths whose larvae feed on natural fibres, often damaging:

• Wool carpets and rugs

• Upholstered furniture

• Clothing, blankets, and bedding

Signs of infestation include:

• Small holes in wool or natural fibres

• Silken webbing or larvae casings

• Adult moths flying near affected areas

We provide:

• Inspection and identification to locate active larvae and adult moths

• Targeted treatments that eliminate infestations

• Prevention advice, including storage tips and protective treatments for carpets and fabrics

Acting early is key — carpet moth larvae can cause extensive damage if left untreated.

4.Wasps

Wasps can be aggressive and pose a risk to your family, pets, and staff. Common species in South East Queensland include paper wasps and European wasps.

Signs of a wasp problem:

• Nests under eaves, roof cavities, fences, or trees

• Increased wasp activity around food, drinks, or outdoor areas

• Frequent stings or aggressive behaviour

Our wasp control services include:

• Inspection and identification of the nest and species

• Safe removal or treatment of nests using approved methods

• Advice on prevention, including sealing entry points and managing attractants

Safety first: Never attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself — professional removal is essential to prevent stings and allergic reactions.

5. Fleas

Fleas can quickly become a problem in homes with pets. They can cause:

• Itchy bites on humans and pets

• Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals

• Rapid infestations if left untreated

We provide safe, effective flea treatments for both the property and advice for pets to stop reinfestation.

6. Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a stressful problem, often hiding in mattresses, bed frames, furniture, and carpets. Signs include:

• Bites on the body

• Blood stains on bedding

• Live bugs or shed skins

Our bed bug treatments are discreet, thorough, and designed to eliminate infestations completely while providing advice on prevention and monitoring.

7. Lawn Pests

• Lawn grubs (chafer beetle larvae): Feed on grass roots, causing brown patches and damaged lawns.

• Other garden pests: Can impact plant health and garden aesthetics.

We provide lawn inspections, identification, and targeted treatment to restore your green spaces.

Our Approach

1. Inspection & Identification: We determine the pest type and the extent of the infestation.

2. Targeted Treatment: Using safe, effective, and environmentally responsible methods.

3. Prevention Advice: Guidance on housekeeping, storage, and maintenance to reduce future risks.
