Carpet Beetle
The most destructive of the Fabric Pests - destroying your most prized possessions. These insects feed on animal-origin materials that include carpets, rugs, clothing, silks, expensive furs and leathers.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches, an obnoxious pest, are said to be able to survive a Nuclear Holocaust. They live, breed and spread diseases in warm, moist areas found in kitchens and food preparation areas. Food Poisoning, Salmonella, Hepatitis and Gastroenteritis are only some of the contaminating bacteria transmitted by these prolific breeders. Proven treatment is needed to control these insects which are breeding every 28 days, producing up to 40 offspring every time.

Dust Mites
Dust and paper mites induce itching, bits, allergies and asthma.

Earwigs
Occasionally cause annoyance by invading houses and flower beds.

Fleas
Biting and sucking insects. Detection of a flea indicates 100 or more in the immediate environment.

Flies / Maggots
Flies are the nuisance pests which are responsible for numerous diseases. They consume food by a sucking and sponging motion, often vomiting and fouling food prepared for human consumption. Fly maggots breed in rotting vegetation and decaying animal carcasses and faeces. Professional advice and treatment, as well as good house keeping is essential for proper hygiene management.

Fruit Fly
Damage caused to fruit by eggs being deposited within the fruit.

Moths
Case-Making Moths and Clothes Moths are pests of furs, cotton, nylon, linen and woollens. Both the adult and grubs prefer darkness of wardrobes, roof-voids and cupboards. Perfect conditions are provided from inside your home, as a readily available food source is always near.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are a major threat to man and animals, capable of passing on microscopic organisms which cause malaria, yellow fever, Australian Encephalitis and Ross River virus to name a few. The dog heart worm is also commonly passed on by mosquitoes.

Silverfish
Silverfish are primitive insects that have survived since the dark ages. They seek out starchy glues and sizing encountered in books, paper and wall paper, causing unsightly damage to expensive clothes and photographs. They moult, shedding their skins and leaving their outer casing in your clothes and bed linen.

Slaters
Commonly found in garden beds and wet vegetation - extremely unsightly.

Spiders
Most of us have a feeling of distaste at being in close contact with either a spider or its web. Additional reasons include :
* Danger - fear of being bitten or having young children bitten by a venomous spider
* Aesthetic - having unsightly webs and spiders over pergolas, gutters, fences, indoor or outdoor living areas
* Arachneaphobia - the irrational fear of spiders.

Weevils
Weevils are very destructive pests which can decimate stored whole grain products such as corn, maize wheat, barley, rice etc. Adults can chew through plastic and paper wrappers and decimate stock on shelves or in stores at homes, shops and warehouses.

Wasps
Paperwasps and European wasps are very aggressive if their nests are disturbed. This usually occurs while children are playing, trees are being pruned or gardening. These species can sting more than once. Each time they sting, wasps inject venom which causes a painful reaction, or can be fatal if the person is allergic.
