Amazon Pest Exterminator performing targeted pest control methods

As the vibrant colours of spring emerge across Melbourne, so do various pests and insects eager to invade our homes. While the warmer weather brings joy, it also signals the arrival of common pests that can disrupt our living spaces. At Amazon Pest Exterminators, we understand the importance of being prepared for these unwelcome guests. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the main pests to watch for this spring, how to prepare your home, and when to seek professional residential pest control services.

Common Springtime Pests in Melbourne.

As the temperatures rise, several pests become active, seeking shelter and food in residential areas. Here are some of the main culprits you might encounter:

1. Ants

These industrious insects often emerge in search of food and can quickly invade your kitchen.

2. Cockroaches

Known for their resilience, cockroaches thrive in warmer conditions and are notorious for spreading disease.

3. Spiders

With spring comes an increase in spider activity, as they seek mates and create webs in and around homes.

4. Rodents

Mice and rats are common in spring, especially if they find easy access to food and nesting sites.

5. Termites

These wood-destroying pests can cause significant damage if left untreated and often become more active as temperatures rise.

Tips for Preparing Your Home.

While you can take steps to prevent pest infestations, it’s essential to remember that professional pest control may be necessary for serious issues or routine check-ups. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home for springtime pests:

1. Seal Entry Points

Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, and openings that pests could use to enter. Seal these entry points with caulk or weather stripping to keep unwanted guests outside.

2. Keep Your Home Clean

Regularly clean your kitchen and dining areas, wiping down surfaces to remove food particles that attract pests. Store food in airtight containers and take out the trash regularly.

3. Maintain Your Yard

As carpet beetle larvae grow, they shed their skins, which can accumulate in areas where they are feeding. Finding these shed skins, along with small, round eggs or empty egg cases, can indicate an infestation. These remnants are often discovered in cracks, crevices, or behind furniture.

4. Check for Water Sources

Pests are often drawn to moisture. Repair leaky faucets, clear gutters, and ensure there are no standing water sources around your home.

5. Regular Pest Inspections

Schedule routine pest inspections with Amazon Pest Exterminators professional pest control service. This proactive approach can help identify and address potential pest issues before they become infestations.

Why You Should Organise a Pest Inspection in Melbourne This Spring

Spring time is now upon us, and with it comes a change in the household bugs and pests that make their presence known. The rise in temperature generally sees common winter pests like crickets, caterpillars and rodents hibernate, while those that seek out hotter temperatures like spiders, ants and cockroaches can become more visible. While some pests can be merely a nuisance, others can pose risks to your house, your pets, your family and yourself. Fortunately, with rodent control, cockroach control or some other method, you can ensure these pests are either removed or cause little damage to your property.

A comprehensive pest inspection of your Melbourne property will likely show them inhabiting every available nook and cranny – from the roof and the wall cavities to the sub-floor and everywhere in between. If an inspection uncovers pests, it’s important to take action to protect your house from any damage they can cause.

What’s the Best Plan of Attack?

Once Amazon Pest Exterminators has completed a pest inspection of your Melbourne property, we’ll know what pests are sharing your home with you, where they’re living, and just how many of them there are. We can then take action, whether we’re undertaking cockroach control, rodent control or termite control procedures.

We begin by treating any ‘wet’ areas of the house that offer food and/or moisture – typically the ideal conditions for pests of this nature. Treatment of these areas generally involves laying poisonous substances that are designed to be attractive to and ingested by the targeted pests.

Following this, we apply treatments to other affected areas of the home, including the roof voids, the cavities of the wall, and the sub floor. The next step is to build an outdoor barrier around the perimeter of your property to prevent pests from penetrating its protective wall. We also consult directly with the property owner to identify potential elements that could attract pests and take the appropriate steps to neutralise them.

Pest Control for Residential and Commercial Properties

Amazon Pest Exterminators offer our pest inspection and eradication services for both residential and commercial property owners. Whether you need termite control in the Melbourne CBD or effective rodent control in the outer suburbs, there’s no better time than a change of season to spring into action and make the call.
