This is not saying that you shouldn’t be wary of spider inside your home. There are spiders whose venom can be fatal. For an average person, it is hard to identify species of spiders. If you get bitten, seek immediate medical attention. If you are experiencing a spider infestation, call for professional pest control service.

Ants differ in size and colour, but they are all the same in terms of behaviour. The most vulnerable of your home that can be infested by ants is the area where food is prepared and/or stored. Sugary foods are one of their favourites and they can find wherever they are stored or located.
Ants bite, but one or two bites are insignificant. However, multiple bites can be a cause for concern because the patient can develop allergic reactions. Houses are a magnet for ants because of the presence of many food sources, such as human food and clothes.
It is fine to see one or two ants. But since ants are social insects, they live and work in groups. If you see an ant or two, it means there are many more that you’re not seeing just yet. Ant infestation can be irritating, and it will not be easy to get rid of them, so call for help from licensed pest control experts.

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 Hendra.

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.
