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.

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.

Rodents
Rodents that appear to be pests to humans and great concern to our lifestyles are one of three species. The three major species are the Norway Rat, Roof Rat and House Mouse.
With changes in climatic conditions, rodents, which are well adapted to living closely to humans, move indoors to search for food and shelter. Colder weather is the most likely time when rodents move indoors. They also make their nests in roof voids where possums have established their homes.
Because they are nocturnal they are rarely seen but evidence of their presence is from droppings, urine stains and oily marking from their pelts, when they squeeze through tight spaces. Of course other evidence is from damage that they have caused to food stuffs, damage where they have gnawed through or into walls or timbers.
Rats are responsible for the transmission of diseases including 'The Bubonic Plague' which killed 25 million people.
Treatment Methods Available:
Identification of the species inhabiting the premises is important so that precise control methods are undertaken. Methods involve a complete site inspection and sanitation and hygiene matters being attended to. Prevention of entry and baiting are then carried out. A regular program is developed.
