As summer starts to heat up you will find that fleas will be jumping all over the place.
Identifying a flea infestation can often be simple, while eradicating their population proves much more difficult. Observe your pet's behaviour as a first step: if your pet is scratching excessively, you should examine his or her fur. Infested animals have reddened skin and may lose hair. The hind quarters of dogs and the head and neck of cats are most commonly targeted.
Are you looking for peace of mind and having your termite damage covered by an insurance policy.
Don't be surprised to find that your current building insurance does not cover you for structural damage caused by termites. It's a big worry especially considering that Australia has the most destructive termites in the world. The one way to put your mind at ease is to protect your home and finances before disaster strikes.
A recent survey shows that 1 in every 3 homes is attacked by termites at some stage in its life. But, while your home is insured against damage by fire, you’ll almost certainly find that your home insurance policy excludes termite damage. No other plan will give you this level of financial security.

Every year termites swarm looking for places to establish new colonies. It takes just two of these young winged termites to start a colony and they only need a small opening for them to get into a home. That's why every year 1 in every 3 properties have termites.
Kings and queens, the most commonly known forms of reproductive termites, produce highly complex underground societies.
Termites are among the most captivating of all insects because of their fascinating societies. Humans choose to build structures out of termite food, and we have a hard time viewing them as anything but disturbing pests when they dine on those structures. But beyond their diet and its interference with our own society, the intrigue of a termite society is remarkable. Understanding the organisation and reproductive biology of termite colonies gives us insights into control strategies and realities and allows us to better cure your problem.
As the warmer weather approaches you need to know what you are looking for and know what termite alates are.
The brain of an ant has about 250,000 brain cells.
If a cockroach breaks a leg it can grow another one.
The average life expectancy of an ant is about 90 days.
Birds
Birds become a problem to humans when they set up home in our structures - our houses, buildings and monuments. They can also cause problems in rural situations but we will only deal with the urban areas.
No inhumane methods are allowed. Shooting is definitely not permitted and some methods of baiting and trapping are also not humane.
Bird droppings are unsightly, the noises birds make are unwelcome and of greater importance - the liklihood of disease is much higher when there are large bird populations. Some 60 transmittable diseases have been found to have been associated with birds. The diseases range from Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis and Aspergillosis and can cause respiratory symptoms. Salmonellosis can be carried by bird droppings.
Treatment Methods Available:
There are a range of systems available which deter birds from entering a property, however prior to commencement of any work to exclude birds from a particular site it is critical that the pest manager carries out a detailed survey of the property.
That survey will provide valuable information which will enable the pest manager, in co-operation with the owner or tenant, to tackle some of the root causes of the bird problem. Matters such as readily available food and water, overhanging trees, loose roofing sheets, shaded areas and method of construction are among those issues which would be assessed.
Each site is different but by using a range of specially manufactured materials most problems can be overcome.
Where there are large areas Netting systems, anchored to Stainless Steel Cables and then tensioned are ideal.
In other locations spikes, either Fibre Glass or Stainless Steel, can be used. The spikes are used for Pigeons and Gulls and the length of the spike is slightly longer than the birds legs when they attempt to land the spike digging into their sides makes them uncomfortable and they fly off.
Spring wire erected near landing areas makes the birds unsure of their footing and they fly off.
Timber, Nails, Screws and Wire Netting all have their uses in building out birds.
With the right application of materials and types of systems Birds can be excluded from properties permanently.
