Ipswich Termite control
Termites cause more damage in Australia every year than storms, floods and fires. The cost to our economy is incredible and it is a cost that must be borne by the building owners as termite damage is not covered by insurance policies. That means that it is up to the building owner to limit the damage to their building and the best way to do that is to prevent an infestation from occurring in the first place.
Ipswich is an area that is ravaged by termites and if you live in Ipswich and do not have a termite prevention strategy in place then it is only a matter of time before your building is infested. A good termite prevention strategy involves a deterrent, something that will repel termites, and a monitoring capability, to show when an infestation is under way so that the deterrent can be checked.
Cureall Pest Control have been helping to protect the people and buildings of Ipswich from the ravages of termites for over 45 years. If you need a termite prevention strategy then give them a call and they will be able to provide you with one that suits your needs and budget.
Don’t let termites destroy your home, call Cureall.

Going for a swim this summer? Watch out for bees and wasps
If you are going to make a splash this summer, then check before you jump. Cureall Pest Control wants to remind everyone to make sure there are no bees or wasps in the pool before they dive in.
When it gets hot, insects are attracted to cool, moist areas, like the pool. Often they will fall in or get stuck and many people will dive in unaware that they are diving onto a bee or wasp. They can survive for days on the water’s surface and will sting on contact, so the best thing to do is use the pool scoop before you go for a swim.
The summer months are a time when we all need to be particularly vigilant as it is the time when humans and animals are far more likely to come into contact. This is because we humans are far more active during the summer and this puts us on a collision course with animals. Often everyone is trying to stay cool, which means we congregate in the same places, increasing the risk of getting stung or bitten.
All it takes is a little awareness and forethought and you can prevent any incidents from happening.

Queensland Termite control
With Queensland’s hot and humid climate, there is a real problem with termites across the state. The rule of thumb is that the further north you live in Queensland, the greater the threat from termites. Termites will damage around a third of the buildings in the state, costing more than all the floods, fires and storms combined and as insurance doesn’t cover termite damage, these costs will have to be borne by the building owners.
Because of the climate in Queensland, when it comes to termite infestations it is not a question of if but when. The best way to stop termites from damaging a building is to prevent an infestation from occurring and the best way to prevent an infestation from occurring is to call Cureall Pest Control. They have been in the industry since 1966 and are the leading pest control company in the state. With over forty five years experience, Cureall haven’t met an infestation they can’t prevent.
There are a wide variety of prevention methods and the team at Cureall will help you to choose one that suits your needs and budgets. Get on the phone and get the peace of mind that a comprehensive termite prevention strategy can give.

Controlling bed bugs
There is an old saying, ‘don’t let the bed bugs bite’, that for many decades in Australia was nothing more than a cute if confusing thing that adults said when putting children to bed. Unfortunately, in the past few years, there has been a massive resurgence in bed bugs in Australia, and that saying has taken on a renewed vigour. Bed bugs are back and biting.
Bed bugs live in our bedding and feed on us during the night. If you are waking in the morning with red bites then chances are you have got bed bugs.
The best way to control bed bugs is to call a professional pest control company. The reason that bed bugs have come back is that they are now resistant to many pesticides, meaning that it is important that the right eradication method is used. Your local pest control company will know exactly what to do and what to use, so it makes sense to get in touch with them immediately.
Often people attempt to get rid of them themselves, only to find that they have only made the infestation worse. Get professional help straight away and get rid of bed bugs for good.

Brisbane pest control
If you live in Brisbane, then you need to have regular pest control checks and treatment. We have a fantastic climate up here but unfortunately pests love our weather as much as we do. Most pests thrive in warm and wet conditions, which describe Brisbane perfectly. We have a serious problem with a number of pests, including one of the worst, termites. That is why it is prudent for all Brisbane building owners to have a regular check and treatment plan. Pest control is best when it is preventive as it is far cheaper and easier to prevent an infestation than it is to eradicate one once it has taken hold.
Generally speaking, most buildings need to be check and treated at least once a year, though twice a year will provide far more security. Having a professional pest control specialist inspect your building once or twice a year will ensure that you can prevent most infestations from occurring, saving money in the long run.
Cureall Pest Control are the experts in the field, with decades of experience in pest checks and treatments for all building types. Give them a call and they will take it from there, protecting your building and giving you peace of mind.

Ipswich pest control
If you live in Ipswich and do not have a pest control plan then you are putting yourself, your family and your home at risk. The simple rule of thumb with regard to pest control in Queensland is that the further north you live the greater the risk from pests. Most pests thrive in hot and humid climates and this sure describes Ipswich.
A pest control plan generally involves regular checks and treatments by an expert. It is so much easier to prevent an infestation than it is to eradicate one once it has got a stranglehold on a building. With regular checks and treatments, you can protect a building, ensuring that no pest can take up residence.
It is recommended that these checks and treatments occur at least once a year, though twice a year would ensure greater protection. The thing with infestations is that they will often not become obvious to casual observation until quite late in the process, meaning that the pests will already be well established.
Cureall Pest Control have been helping residents of Ipswich stay pest free for decades, give them a call and they will help develop a pest control plan that will help to protect you and your home.

Gold Coast Termite control
Termites thrive in hot and wet climates and the Gold Coast is undeniably both. Unsurprisingly, there is a serious termite problem here in the Gold Coast and it is up to individual building owners to take measures. Termites damage around a third of all buildings in Australia, costing the country more than storms, floods and fires combined, and insurance does not cover this damage, meaning that the building owner will have to pay all associated costs. Termites can turn a building from an asset into a liability in no time, so acting fast is important.
The best way to protect your building from termite damage is to prevent an infestation from occurring. Prevention really is the best cure when it comes to termites. There are a number of methods of preventing termites from infesting your building, from chemical barriers to bait stations. The team at Cureall will be able to help you to decide on the best form of prevention for your building so give them a call.
Once a termite infestation has taken hold then the damage has already begun. The only way to ensure that your building is safe is to have preventative measures in place. Call Cureall and they will help protect your building.

Mosquitos, summer’s hidden danger
Summer is here and most of us will be discarding work and running for the nearest possible beach, pool, lake or river. There is nothing quite like escaping the heat by jumping in the water, but before you do, you need to protect yourself, as we are all at an increased risk from insects during summer. The reason for this is that humans are far more active during summer, spending more time outdoors than any other time of the year, and we like the insects generally spend our summer months trying to stay cool by hanging out near or in the water. This brings us on a collision course with all kinds of insects, including mosquitoes.
There are over 400 species of mosquito in Australia and they will be found near any pools of water. This means that while we are trying to cool off, we are putting ourselves in the mozzie firing line. You can decrease the risk by ensuring your pool is well chlorinated and by covering up with effective treatments. All it takes is a little forethought and you can keep the mozzies at bay all summer long.
Cureall Pest Control wants everyone to have a wonderful and pest free summer, so think ahead and protect yourself and your family.

Brisbane Termite control
Brisbane has a termite problem, there is no escaping the fact that this is one of the major issues the city faces. Termites damage around a third of all buildings in Australia, with buildings in Brisbane far more likely to be effected than others around the country. Worse still, insurance policies do not cover for termite damage, meaning that the building owner will have to bear the costs.
The best time to stop a termite infestation is before it happens, prevention really is the best cure when it comes to termites. That means that if you live in Brisbane, you should have a termite prevention strategy in place and the best way to develop one of those is to get in touch with a pest control company.
Fortunately, there are some excellent pest control companies in Brisbane, with Cureall Pest Control leading the charge. Cureall have been in business since 1966 and have built a reputation for professionalism that is richly deserved.

Emergency pest control Gold Coast
Finding that you have a pest problem can be a stressful moment. The problem is that most pest problems do not become that obvious until the creatures have got a stranglehold on a place. Generally, it only becomes obvious to casual scrutiny once the pest problem has become an infestation. It can seem like a house has gone from clean and normal to dirty and infested overnight. Peoples first reaction is that they want the pests gone immediately, they want their house back to normal as soon as possible. Living with an infestation can be a depressing and frustrating time, not to mention unhealthy.
If you have discovered your home is infested then you need emergency pest control. If you live in the Gold Coast, then you need to call Cureall Pest Control. They have decades of experience and will be able to eradicate the infestation and importantly, ensure that it will not come back.
The team at Cureall are experts, they know exactly what to do and as soon as you call they will have someone on the spot in no time flat. They realise how devastating a pest infestation can be and will work tirelessly to remove the pests as quickly as possible.

Sunshine Coast pest control
Put simply, the further north you live in Queensland, the more at risk you are from a termite infestation. Termites thrive in hot and moist climates, and as anyone from Queensland will tell you, the further north you go, the hotter and wetter it gets.
Living on the Sunshine Coast has a number of benefits, but there are also a few drawbacks, with one of the major ones being the increased risk of a termite infestation. However, if you are proactive and prudent, then you can decrease the risk to your home. The best time to stop an infestation is before it happens. It is far cheaper and simpler to prevent an infestation from occurring than to eradicate one once it has got a hold on your home.
A good preventative strategy will encompass both a termite deterrent and a monitoring capability. That way, you can be sure that your home is safe.
If you want to get the peace of mind that a thorough termite prevention strategy can give, then get on the phone and give Cureall Pest Control a call. They are the termite prevention experts and will be able to provide a strategy that suits your needs and budget.

Commercial pest control
Pest control is a well regulated industry for very good reason, it is an area where poisons, people, food and homes all come into close proximity, making it critical that the people applying the poison know exactly what they are doing. When choosing a pest control company it pays to make sure that they are fully accredited and have a long standing reputation.
This becomes even more important when pest control is required in commercial situations, such as restaurants and cafes. These spaces need to be maintained to standards that go far beyond domestic levels and with good reason. The two worst types of pests in these situations are cockroaches and rodents. It is vital in these situations that an expert pest control company is called, one that is able to take care of the problem thoroughly and safely.
If you need commercial pest control then it pays to go to the experts as they will be able to take care of the problem thoroughly and effectively. Cureall Pest Control has been in business for over 45 years and all the staff are trained and certified. They are able to take care of any commercial pest control required with the necessary effectiveness, efficiency and discretion.

Why cleaning your room can help protect your clothes
Sometimes it is the small things that make a real difference. That is true in the fight against silverfish and other fabric pests. One of the simplest and easiest ways to protect your clothes from these irritants is by cleaning your room. Silverfish will hide away in those dark and secluded areas you do not go into that often, draws and cupboards and closets where you are storing clothes and other fabrics that do not get used much.
The best way to stop them from damaging and destroying these fabrics is by having a cleanout. Get rid of any material you do not need anymore and put the rest into sealed containers or plastic bags. That way you will thwart the silverfish and without anything to eat they will move on.
The key is to not leave ample food around for them as they will quietly live in a secluded area and eat away for years unseen. By the time you notice, it will be too late and they will have destroyed everything.
Go and have a clean out of all those areas, everyone has them, and deprive the silverfish of their food, they will soon move on.

Wasp control Brisbane
Wasp stings are horrible and because the wasp doesn’t die after they use their sting, unlike bees, a wasp attack can be far worse than a bee attack. Wasps are far more aggressive than bees for that very reason and in the worst situations a serious wasp attack can cause death.
Brisbane has a growing wasp problem and if you have a nearby wasp nest then it is important you take care of it before it causes trouble. Like most pests, wasps cause more trouble in the summer months.
Fortunately, Cureall Pest Control, Brisbane’s leading pest control company, are expert at taking care of wasps and are only a phone call away. If you have a troublesome wasp nest just get on the phone and call Cureall, they will send someone around to take care of it in no time.
While wasps can be a real pain, they are actually a relatively easy pest to get rid of as long as you know what you are doing and the team at Cureall will be able to take care of the problem straight away, removing the wasp threat.
Get in touch with Cureall and control your wasp problem.

Cockroaches and your home
There is something about cockroaches that takes most people beyond rational concern to a kind of primitive and animalistic fear. They are the stuff of nightmares and many people will totally freak out when they discover a cockroach infestation in their homes. They truly are one of the most despised creatures on the planet.
Here at Cureall we often get asked by people, ‘why did they infest our home?’. Many people are concerned as there is a pervasive myth that cockroaches infest dirty homes, but this is simply not true. Cockroaches choose to infest certain places largely because of proximity and levels of available food and this often has nothing to do with how clean a house is.
Cockroaches love humid locations and will thrive in secluded and moist areas of a house. These areas will often be out of sight places that a home owner has no idea about. Again, having humid areas around a house has got nothing to do with overall hygiene and cleanliness.
If you find a cockroach infestation it is critical that you act as quickly as possible. Cockroaches breed incredibly quickly and if you do not take action fast you will find that it is out of hand in no time.
If you are concerned about cockroaches, give Cureall Pest Control a call.

How a spider spins a web
Spider’s webs are incredibly intricate and quite beautiful. They are able to spin them in a remarkably short amount of time, creating a highly complex yet totally functional piece in a matter of hours. While most of us have brushed numerous webs away, not many know how spiders actually spin their webs.
After finding a good spot, the spider will release a piece of thread that gets blown by the wind. Once the thread has stuck to something, the spider will cross this piece of thread, adding a second to reinforce it. After the first thread is done, the spider will walk to the middle of that thread and drop on a line to the ground, making a t shape with the thread. Following this, the spider will walk back to that middle juncture will attached a thread and walk along the horizontal and then up, making a cross shape. Then they drop back to the centre and drop again to the ground, just to the side of the first drop. The spider repeats this until they have made a spoke type shape.
After they have made the distinctive spoke shape, the spider will create the spiral that goes around this. At each point where the spoke and spiral meet, the spider places a sticky bead that will help hold onto the prey.

Bugs to fight pests?
We here in Australia know the dangers of using one animal to take care of a pest control problem. Thanks to the geniuses who brought the cane toad into the country to take care of the cane beetle, swapping a minor problem for a massive one, most of us are naturally more than a little wary when someone suggests that the best solution to an animal problem is another animal.
However, there is growing evidence that one of the best ways of fighting certain types of pests is through other animals. In particular, scientists have been using a number of different insect species to fight pests on plants. These bugs have evolved over millions of years to eat certain prey and if you have enough knowledge about the various predator and prey relationships you can use certain predators to take out annoying pests.
Naturally, you need to be extremely careful, you do not want to introduce new species to certain areas, but most of the time, there is already an effective predator nearby, all you need to do is to apply it to the problem area and problem solved.
The beauty of using bugs for pest control is that no toxic chemicals need to be used, making it safer for everybody.

How to remove a spider web with a stick and tape.
There are a lot of people who do not like spiders, a fear that is called arachnophobia. Naturally, most people who do not like spiders also do not like their webs, and in fact, many people who do not have a problem with spiders themselves do not like the webs. There are a number of ways that you can get rid of spider webs. Here is a relatively simple and easy way of removing spider’s webs that only requires a stick and tape. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and your spider web problem will be sorted out.
First thing you need to do though is check that the spider is not venomous. If it is then you need to be extra careful if you choose to proceed.
Now grab your stick and wrap the tape around the end of the stick, with the sticky side of the tape out, so that it will latch onto the web.
Now what you need to do is start at one point of the web. Place the stick there and make sure the tape is touching the web right where it meets whatever it is attached to. Now move the stick around the perimeter, making sure the web is being pulled off. Once you have taken the web off, you can dispose of it in the rubbish.

If there was one problem we had hoped we had left behind, it was bed bugs. These nasty little creatures seemed resigned to the dustbin of history, only to live on in children’s rhymes. Unfortunately, they are back and with a vengeance. In the last decade or so, bed bugs have reinvaded our beds, turning what should be a peaceful night’s sleep into an itchy and scratchy pain.
It is fairly obvious when you have bed bugs. You wake up with itchy spots and raised bumps, often around your armpits, groin and other warm areas of the body. If you really want to be sure you have them, then use white linen on your bed. You will be able to see the 5mm black dots on there if you have bed bugs.
Fortunately, you do not have to live with bed bugs, you can get rid of them as long as you call a pest control company. Though many people will try to get rid of them on their own, home pest control can actually make the problem worse unless you really know what you are doing as modern bed bugs have developed resistance to many of the more common pesticides, which is why they have made a comeback. With a professional pest control company, you know the job will be done right first time.

Cost-effective pest control
Many people, when they first discover they have an infestation of pests, will attempt to take care of it themselves, feeling that pest control is too expensive. However, the problem with this is that often, because they do not know what they are doing, they will actually make the problem worse rather than better. The reason for this is that unless you are totally comprehensive and dedicated, efforts to eradicate the pests will fail and the pests that live will be stronger and more resistant.
Most of the time these people who tried to save money by doing the eradication themselves will then have to call a pest control company. They then end up having to pay for the professionals to come and take care of the problem, which may even cost more than it would have in the first place.
All up, they will have spent more time and money than if they had just gone with the pest control company in the first place. Professional pest control is cost effective as it takes care of the problem first time, without any of the fuss and drama that a prolonged infestation can cause.
If you want to save money, call the experts straight away.

How termites feed through vibrations
Termites are fascinating creatures. Despite the fact that they are a terrible pest, they have some amazing qualities that are really interesting. One of this, something that scientists have just discovered, is that termites use vibrations to choose which wood they want to eat. Even better, this discovery may help reduce or even stop termite infestations in their tracks.
Termites use vibrations to determine which food source is going to be the best for them to eat. The vibrations allow them to work out the density and type of wood, as well as other measures such as its age and moisture content. The method they use has been likened to sonar.
The scientists discovered that by playing certain vibrations back they could control whether the termites chose to eat wood independent of whether it was the type of wood they would normally eat or not. In other words, we can use their vibrations against them, giving them false readings of the type of wood. This means that in the future, all we may need to stop termite infestations from occurring is some form of speaker system that plays unattractive wood vibrations to the termites.
While this process is still in its infancy, before long the termite problem could be over.

Your allergies and pests in your home
Many people suffer from allergies, which can be caused by a wide number of different environmental cues, from pollen in the air through to fabric on the skin. Often the allergies can be set off by a number of different and dissimilar cues, making it hard for the sufferer to predict exactly when and why they will have a reaction.
Pests can cause allergic reactions in many people, even those who have never had a problem before. Cockroaches are a common cause of allergic reactions, with people reacting to their faeces, saliva, egg cases and cast skins. Likewise, dust mites cause allergic reactions in many people, who will react to their faeces and their chitin. With bed bugs, the reaction is cause by the anticoagulant substances they use when they bite their victims. Rodents also cause allergic reactions, largely because of their fur and their faeces.
If you are experiencing an allergic reaction and you do not know why it is happening, it could be that you have a pest infestation that you are unaware of. The best thing you can do is to give Cureall Pest Control a call, they will come around and assess your property. If there is an infestation, they will be able to offer you a number of different eradication options.

What are Bird Lice?
Bird lice, often referred to as bird mites, are a parasitic creature that live on, unsurprisingly, birds. Though they can live on virtually any species of bird they are most commonly found on domesticated birds, especially poultry, and birds that live in large flocks. The reason for this is that it is easier for the lice to move across individuals when they are gathered in large groups.
Though they prefer birds, if there are none around, the lice can live on humans as well. Often this occurs when birds have nested in someone’s home, then the baby birds have grown up and left the nest. Once they have left, there is a nest full of lice and no birds, so they move onto the human occupants of the house.
The lice themselves are about one millimetre long and eat by biting. When they bite they inject saliva under the skin, which acts as an anticoagulant. The saliva is what causes the reaction to the bite, with people getting raised red bumps that can be incredibly itchy. Despite various rumours, bird lice cannot transmit diseases, though the itchiness caused by their bites is bad enough.
There is often a problem with diagnosis, as the bites are hard to distinguish from other insect bites. The only way to be sure is to call a pest control company for an inspection.

How to remove a spider web with a vacuum
There are a lot of people who do not like spiders, a fear that is called arachnophobia. Naturally, most people who do not like spiders also do not like their webs, and in fact, many people who do not have a problem with spiders themselves do not like the webs. There are a number of ways that you can get rid of spiders webs. Here is a relatively simple and easy way of removing spider’s webs that only requires a vacuum. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and your spider web problem will be sorted out.
Vacuums are one of the best ways to deal with a spider’s web. They are especially good if you suspect the spider is venomous as you can dispose of the web and spider without risking getting bitten.
Grab your vacuum and something to stand on, if you need it. Turn the vacuum on and start by vacuuming up the web. Make sure that you get the entire web and keep the vacuum going for a minute or two after you have sucked up the last of the web to ensure that all of it goes into the bag.

There are a number of ways that you can get rid of spiders webs. Here is a relatively simple and easy way of removing spider’s webs that only requires bleach. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and your spider web problem will be sorted out.
Bleach is a really useful method of removing spider’s webs as you do not have to physically touch the web. This makes it especially useful if you think the web is made by a venomous spider.
What you need to do is to grab some bleach and an old spray bottle. Mix up a reasonably diluted bleach and water solution. Before you start spraying the web, make sure that you are not directly downwind of the web as you might end up with the solution in your face. Once you have done that, all you need to do is spray the entire web. This will erode it.

Pre-construction pest control
If you are about to build then you need to ensure that you have a pre-construction pest control plan. There are a number of initiatives that can be implemented during the construction phase that will improve the resistance of the structure. Retrofitting a building once it has been constructed is far more expensive and costly, which means it makes sense to do it before you have finished building. Not only will it make the structure more resistant but it will also increase its value.
The most important pest you need to think of when planning for pre-construction pest control is the termite. These pests cost Australia more each year than storms, fires and floods. During construction is the best time to put counter measures in place. There are chemical soil barriers that can be placed during the construction of the foundations and there are termicide dispersal systems that can be installed during construction of the building, amongst a number of useful systems.
If you are about to build, then the best thing you can do is get in touch with your local pest control company as they will be able to give you advice on the best pre-construction pest control plan for your building.

Preparing for a termite inspection
Right, so you think you might have a termite problem and you have done the smart thing and rung a pest control company. They are going to come and inspect your property. Before they arrive, there are a few things that you can do to make the inspection a quicker and easier process. Here they are:
First, you need to remove any storage from the areas under sinks in bathrooms and the kitchen, enabling the inspector to get a better view of what is going on under there.
Next, you need to remove anything that is within a metre or so of the exterior of your house, enabling the inspector to see what is happening easier.
You also need to move anything that is within a metre or so of the exterior of your garage, likewise enabling the inspector to get a better view of what is going on.
Also, you should trim all bushes and plants around the outside of your home as these could also conceal damage that is important for your inspector to see.
It makes sense to make the inspection as easy as possible as this will reduce the cost and it will ensure that it is a thorough as possible.

Cheap pest control
The last few years have been tough for everybody, the global financial crisis has hit virtually everybody. Most people have less money to spend now and they need to spend it on more things. One area where you can cut some costs is on pest control. While you need to call the professionals in when you have a serious infestation, there are a number of smaller problems that you can take care of yourself with a few household items. Below is one of this, that really works and is cheap and easy to do.
First, you can get rid of ants yourself using a water and vinegar mix. This mix actually works better than virtually all of the expensive products sold in stores and it is better for the environment. All you need to do is mix up two thirds water with one third vinegar in a spray bottle. Then you just spray it on all the door frames and window lintels of your house. This will stop the ants from coming inside almost instantly and only needs to be reapplied every couple of weeks. Cheap and easy.
Remember, while there are some cheap and easy pest control solutions you can do yourself, a serious infestation requires professionals.

How to clean mouse droppings safely
Having a mouse infestation is horrible. One of the worst parts about a mouse infestation is the droppings. Mice seem to go to the toilet- or rather, not go to the toilet- every second. Meaning that when the mice have been on your kitchen bench while you are out or asleep, they will have done what seems to be a remarkably large amount of droppings everywhere. These small black lumps are quite disgusting, especially as they are clustered around where you prepare and cook food.
Naturally, you want to clean them up and clean up the area so you can use it again. The best thing you can do is to use the vacuum, as this is a quick and effective way of cleaning them up without having to touch them or, worse, mush them into the bench. The vacuum picks them up without breaking them up, which is what you want.
Once you have vacuumed up the actual droppings, you need to spray the bench down with some kind of disinfectant. Once you have done that you will want to clean it a number of times using hot soapy water.
After this is all done, the bench should be good for food preparation, though the best thing you can do is call a pest control company to get rid of the mice permanently.

WW1 and Pest Control
For many World War One veterans, there are a number of vivid memories from the trenches. They remember the mud, of course, as this was impossible to avoid. Likewise, they remember the constant shelling and machine gun fire, impossible though important to avoid. Also, they remember the pests. With war comes pests, the worse the war, the worse the pest problem. The major pests were rats, lice, fleas and cockroaches, all of which were a serious problem on the Western Front.
Having a pest problem is bad enough when it is your only major problem. Imagine what it was like having a pest problem in the middle of the most bloody and horrific war humanity had ever seen? It was absolutely horrible. Many soldiers were killed by the diseases brought by these pests and not by the enemy.
Lice caused Trench Fever, rats bought a number of different virulent diseases and the fleas caused no end of irritation. The one advantage the soldiers had was proximity to weapons. In fact, so popular were rat hunts that soldiers were banned from wasting ammunition on them, and were only allowed to use their bayonets to kill the rats.
Next time you have a pest problem, be thankful that is the only problem you have.

Bird Lice: What’s the risk?
Bird lice, otherwise known as bird mites, are relatively common in Australia, thriving in hot and humid temperatures. They are found on many bird species, especially pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. While they prefer to live on birds, if there are none around, they can adapt and use humans as hosts. Though less than one millimetre long these creatures can cause quite a bit of trouble.
Generally speaking, the bites from lice can cause bad irritation, with symptoms such as itching, swelling and red bumps on the skin caused by their saliva extremely common. The bites also cause a level of all over discomfort and there is also a risk of secondary infections occurring from scratching. While many people are worried that the lice can also transmit diseases, there is little evidence to back this up, with most doctors and scientists believing that it is virtually impossible to catch anything from bird lice.
The best way to get rid of an infestation is to remove the birds themselves first and then the infestation. If you simply attempt to remove the bird lice, they will come back in no time. Ensuring birds cannot get near your home is quite tricky, which is why it is recommended that those concerned contact a professional pest control company.

Bed bugs and disease
When most people think of bed bugs they think of itching and scratching, as these are the most common problems associated with this nocturnal menace. While these symptoms are annoying enough for most people, there has also been concerned raised over whether bed bugs are able to transmit diseases. When you think about it, this concern is not unfounded as bed bugs do bite you and this is one of the major vectors for many diseases. Think of mosquitoes and the numerous diseases their bite brings, think of dogs and rabies and the other diseases that are transmitted through saliva and blood.
While many experts believe that there is little to worry about with respect to bed bugs transmitting diseases through their bite, it is not impossible. In other words, while it is rare for it to happen, it can happen.
Bed bugs have been shown to carry up to 40 various human pathogens, though it is extremely unlikely for them to pass them on to anyone they have bitten.
The main point to take away is that if you have bed bugs it is very unlikely that you will catch any diseases from them but that it is not completely impossible for this to happen.

Why Controlling Pests Can Increase The Value Of Your House
There are a wealth of reasons for controlling pests in your home. One of the major reasons is that a pest infestation can be bad for your health. There are a wide number of pests that carry disease or that can cause illness, from rodents through to cockroaches. Another reason is that pests are often extremely psychologically damaging. Many people who have not had a serious pest infestation cannot comprehend quite how damaging they can be. Another very important reason, and it is one that many people do not think of, is that controlling pests can increase the value of your home.
If you have treated your home for termite infestation then you will have increased its value. Many real estate agents have noted that this is a point of increasing interest. Many home buyers are looking for the assurance that a home that has been treated for termites gives.
Termites cost Australia more than all the storms and fires combined every year and they can cause a massive drop in your home’s value if they get take a hold. There are a number of advanced methods of treating homes for termites, including a number of inbuilt systems that can provide decades of protection.

Why Rain Brings Pests To Your Home
There is a strange correlation between rain and pests inside the house. Why is that? Is there actually anything behind it, or is it just something you notice because you are stuck inside when it is raining. In some respects, it is simply that you have all the doors and windows closed and the pests get agitated but cannot get out, but there is also something else going on.
Did you know that insects do not have lungs? Insects actually breath through small holes that go all the way along their bodies. The air just drifts in and out as insects don’t have any mechanism for drawing the air in and out. That is one of the reasons that insects can only grow to a certain size. Too big and the air will not drift in far enough. This is also one of the reasons why rain brings pests into your home. The insects cannot handle too much water as they drown very easily. Thus, when it rains they seek shelter, which is often your home.
Rain also brings other pests into the home. This is for the same reason that you go inside when it is raining. Being in the rain is not very nice.

Pests your dog can deter
Let’s face it, most of us do not own dogs because they are particularly useful, unless of course you are a farmer or have a seeing eye dog. For most of us, dogs are great pets but they are not inherently useful. However, don’t write Fido off completely just yet, your dog might actually be doing something really useful and you do not even know it.
Your dog might actually be deterring pests, you just don’t know it because it is not that obvious. You would notice the pests if your dog wasn’t deterring them. Your dog will help to scare away possums, who are afraid of the smell and they will sometimes scare away rodents, who are also afraid of the smell. Also, if you have stray cats in the neighbourhood, you can be sure that your dog will deter them. There is one pest that the dog is not good at deterring, the flea. In fact, as many of you dog owners already now, the dog is the exact opposite of a flea deterrent. More like a flea magnet.
Next time you have to clean up one of your dog’s surprises on the lawn, just think that they might have been deterring pests without you even knowing it.

Controlling Termites in Gold Coast
The Gold Coast has a reputation across the world as a stunning place to live. It is a reputation well deserved and it is a reputation built on, among other things, our stunning climate. With the good comes the bad, though. One of the major problems with having such a warm and humid climate is that these are ideal conditions for termites, they love hot and wet environments, which is why there are so many termites in the Gold Coast.
The best way to control termites is to prevent them from gaining a foothold in your building. This requires a dual approach. First, you need to have some form of preventative or deterrent, something that repels or kills the termites. Secondly, you need to have a form of monitoring in place so that you know when an infestation is imminent. The reason for having a monitoring system is that as good as the modern deterrents are, and they are good, none are full proof and it is important to know when termites are threatening a building so the effectiveness of the deterrent can be monitored.
If you want to control termites in the Gold Coast then you need to call the team at Cureall Pest Control, they’ve got your back.

The truth about Daddy Long Legs spider
Of all the spiders, the Daddy Long Legs seems to be one with the most rumours and myths surrounding them. Maybe it is because of their appearance, or maybe because they are so common. We are going to tell you the truth about Daddy Long Legs, dispelling rumours and exploding myths.
One key myth that needs to be cleared up first is that when people refer to Daddy Long Legs they are actually talking about two different types of animals. One type are not even spiders, but are closely related, so when referring to Daddy Long Legs, you might not even be talking about a spider!
The major myth is that Daddy Long Legs are the most poisonous spiders but their fangs are just too short to be able to bite humans. This is simply not true. The non-spider Daddy Long Legs do not have venom and the spider Daddy Long Legs are not known to be particularly venomous, though they do have short fangs. In fact, there has never been a single record incident of a Daddy Long Legs even trying to bite a human.
So next time you see a Daddy Long Legs, you do not have to worry in the slightest, they are not only not poisonous, they have never tried to bite anyone before.

If you have a rodent problem and live on the Gold Coast then you need to call Cureall Pest Control. These guys have over 45 years of experience and what they don’t know about rodent control is not worth knowing.
A rodent infestation has three negative dimensions. The first is that they are incredibly unhygienic creatures, carrying numerous diseases that humans can catch. They scurry over all of the surfaces that you prepare food on and get into all of your stored food. The second negative dimension is that they can cause house fires. Rats and mice are big chewers and they have been known to chew on wiring. The frayed wiring then sparks, causing a fire. The third dimension is psychological. Many people have an aversion to rats and mice and having them infest your home can be incredibly draining and depressing.
If you think that you have an infestation or want to prevent one from occurring then you should get in touch with the team at Cureall. They will be able to take care of it. That is what they do. There are a number of solutions available and they will run you through all the various options, outlining the costs and benefits of each.

What Is A Chemical Termite Barrier?
When it comes to termites, you need to take it seriously. Termites cost our country millions upon millions of dollars every year, more than all the storms and fires combined. They attack our homes, which for most Australians is their greatest asset. Depending on how bad an infestation is, it can only take months for grave damage to occur and not much longer for the integrity of the building to be completely compromised.
There are a number of different methods of prevention and eradication. One of the most popular and effective is a chemical barrier. Chemical barriers are used once an infestation has been treated with foam or dust. Their role is as a preventative against reinfestation.
Termites build their nests underground rather than in your home, providing us with a strategic advantage. If you can place a barrier between the nest and your home, then you can prevent reinfestation. Placing a long term termicide in the soil or fill, you can create a barrier which will protect your home for many years to come. Not only does the termicide stop them from gaining entry into your home, the termites also carry it back to their colony where it will infect others.
If you haven’t got protection then you should call the team at Cureall Pest Control, they’ll sort you out in no time.

Queensland’s Termite Problem 2
In many ways, Queensland is the golden state, we have got the best weather and the most amazing environment. Stunning beaches, incredible rain forests and beautiful cities. Our stunning weather brings many visitors and many move here to enjoy the climate. As well as new human citizens, Queensland also gets many other creatures who live here because they love the climate. Among them is the termite, that pernicious eater of wood, that destroyer of homes. Make no mistake, Queensland has a massive termite problem. Over a third of all buildings in Queensland will be affected by termites during their lifetime. That is an incredibly scary statistic, especially considering that insurance doesn’t cover termite damage. This means that if you own a building then you need to take care of the problem yourself. You need to call a pest control company and take care of your investment. It is up to you. Fortunately, there are a number of different methods available to protect a building including bait stations and chemical barriers. If you want to take care of your building then you should get in touch with the team at Cureall Pest Control, they have been in the industry for over four decades and are experts in termite control.

Why Your Business Needs Pest Control
Pest control is a vital element in any business. Most businesses do not have an adequate emergency plan in place. This has been shown in a number of natural and manmade disasters lately, where businesses have been caught short and have suffered financially because of it. It is critical that every business have all the measures in place to ensure they can continue to trade in the face of adversity.
Pest control is important as most businesses approach in a reactive manner. They have an infestation, then they call pest control. The problem being that in the meantime, their business is affected or even forced to close until the problem is sorted out.
Pest control should be proactive. It should be a continuing activity that business conduct to ensure that they are never forced to close or reduce operations because of an infestation. Having a pest control company that regularly checks and updates precautions means that your business will never suffer the crisis of infestation.
A good pest control company will tailor their service to your needs. Their service will be different for a restaurant that needs to meet hygiene standards and a factory that needs to meet quality control standards.
Be prepared, be proactive not reactive, get pest control before a problem starts.

Controlling Termites in Brisbane
Brisbane has got a climate that many are jealous of, beautiful and warm. However, that same desirable climate is also a beacon for termites. They love the heat but most of all they love the moisture. The humidity up here is perfect for them as they require incredibly moist climates. In fact, the most common termite in Australia is a subterranean termite. They live underground so they can control the moisture levels in their colonies and they build tubes up to the house so they can get to their food source without getting too dry.
Because they love the environment up here it is critical to control termites in Brisbane. The key to controlling termites is to have preventative measures in place so that if an infestation is imminent, you are already prepared for it. Also important is to have a monitoring system in place, so that you are alerted to the beginning of an infestation. It is critical that a building is monitored at all times as no preventative measure is full proof and the consequences of an infestation are so massive.
If you want peace, prepare for war, so the old saying goes. It is a saying that has much relevance to controlling termites too.

What Are Wood Borers And How Can They Affect My Home?
Just about everyone has heard of termites, which is unsurprising considering they cost Australia more than storms and bushfires combined, but not so many people have heard of wood borer. Wood borer, otherwise known as wood worms, are small insects that eat wood, using yeast in their stomach to break down the cellulose.
Just like termites, borer can do serious damage to your home. They are prolific breeders and often by the time you realise that you have them it is too late. The reason for this is that they only break out to the surface near the end of their life cycle when it is time to mate. When you see the distinctive ‘flight holes’ they have already been in your home for 3-4 years. The flight holes are generally between 2-4 mm across and are almost perfectly round.
If you are worried that you might have wood borer then you should call the friendly team at Cureall Pest Control. They are experts and will be able to help you diagnose the problem and, more importantly, help you with the solution. Borer can cause serious structural damage to your home if left for too long so get onto it today.

Termites cause more damage in Australia every year than storms, floods and fires. The cost to our economy is incredible and it is a cost that must be borne by the building owners as termite damage is not covered by insurance policies. That means that it is up to the building owner to limit the damag..........Read More
