Potential Risks for Pest Infestation
Here are a few pests that cause problems to residents and properties in Barney View.
Ant Control
Ants are small, but they can be annoying and uncomfortable to be around. They may not affect the health of people, but they can damage personal belongings and food stuff. However, there are species of ants, such as the Fire Ants and Bulldog Ants, that are considered dangerous because of their painful bite.
Because of their tiny size, ants can easily enter your home, if it has what they are looking for – food and water! To discourage ants, eliminate the temptation by not leaving leftovers and by storing food in air-tight containers.
Cockroach Control in Barney View
Cockroaches can endanger a person’s health. This is why it is risky for homeowners to ignore a cockroach infestation. They are usually hanging out near the kitchen drainage pipes and bathrooms because they thrive in warm and damp conditions.
Prevention of cockroach infestation is important because these pest cause food and surface contamination and spread diseases. They carry bacteria in their bodies that they pass to humans through their droppings, shed skins, vomit, etc.
Wasp Control
The presence of wasps creates anxiety and fear because these insects can injure people with their painful stings. They can be aggressive and can attack in groups. To avoid potential allergic reactions and painful inflammation from wasp stings, get help to remove them from your property.
If you do find a wasp nest and you want to get rid of it, call an experienced pest control technician. There are different wasp nests, and each may require a particular method or skill to handle.

Spider Control
Spiders are one of the most common pests that make their homes in residential and commercial structures. They spin silky webs to travel from one place to another and to catch their prey. Spiders feed on other bugs, so they play an important role in keeping pest population down.
Some species of spiders are venomous. These types should be avoided because their bite can be lethal, if not given the proper medical attention.
One of the most obvious signs of spider infestation is when you see cobwebs in hard-to-reach places like ceilings, walls and windows. Use commercial insect spray with caution because other spiders in hiding could scatter in every direction, which would make it more difficult to get rid of them.
Rodent Control in Barney View
Rodents are active year-round, but it is during winter that they cause more worry. This is because the cold temperature forces them to seek shelter in homes and other structures for warmth.
These pests are nocturnal, but they are big enough to be spotted easily. They come out of their nest to look for food and they leave droppings as they do this. The droppings help identify the rodent infestation.
Termite Control in Barney View
Termite infestation has a high probability of happening in Barney View. The reason is that Queensland is a high-risk zone for termites. In fact, hundreds of thousands of homes experience termite infestation every year.
Their colony may be located far from your property, but they can still travel a long distance to reach their food source. Termites can easily enter through any gaps at ground level. They usually enter from below, so their presence is not detected until significant damage has been done to the property.
If you live in a high-risk area for termites like Barney View, termite barriers must be installed around the perimeter and termite inspections must be conducted regularly. These are a part of preventive measures to protect your assets against termite invasion.

Barney View Termite Hazard Level
High – Very High Risk
According to the Interim Termite Hazard Map by CSIRO, the Scenic Rim area, where Barney View is located, is in the high-risk category for termite infestation.
Because Barney View is close to the sea, the area is a good target by drywood termites, which need high moisture content in the timber they attack.

Throughout Queensland, the most commonly found termites are Subterranean termites and Drywood termites.
The West Indian drywood termite, is the world’s most destructive drywood termite. It is the culprit to massive economic damage to timber houses in Queensland, including properties in Barney View.
A coastal environment like Wynnum is prone to termite and vermin attacks.
The number one thing that attracts termites is water or moisture. It is almost a guarantee that if a home has water leakage problems, it will soon be invaded by termites, if it hasn’t been already.
Damage to homes, whether made from weatherboard, is likely if termites, or white ants, are left unchecked.
