What You Should Know About Common Pests
Ants
Ants are community-minded, workaholic insects who reproduce very quickly. This means that if you have spotted one or two, you probably have hundreds or even thousands. Ants have kings, queens, and various immature stages in the nest ready to take their place. The ants you find foraging in your kitchen, the garden, or around your doors are usually workers or soldier ants that serve to feed the rest of the colony. To eradicate ants, it’s essential to deal with the nest and not just the few that you may see around your property.
Some ants can give a painful sting, but they are commonly classified as pests because of the numbers in which they can suddenly appear.
Spiders
Australia is famous for its indigenous spiders, whose bites can often be very dangerous and occasionally life-threatening. However, the vast majority of spiders are relatively harmless. Even common spiders can sometimes bite humans, who encroach on their habitat. In the event of a bite, you should always seek medical attention as blood poisoning or infection could occur.
Apart from the widespread fear of spiders that many people suffer from, the most common reason for controlling these pests is the elimination of unsightly webs.
Rodents
Rats and mice are commensal pests; they successfully cohabit with humans in our buildings, living off discarded food and waste. Although some people keep rats and mice as pets, the wild variety can be hazardous, contaminating more food than they eat and spreading many diseases. In conjunction with the rat flea, rats were responsible for the deaths of over 25 million people in Europe who died from bubonic plague. If you find any sign of rats around your property, you should deal with it immediately and give Barry’s Pest Control a call.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are scavengers that eat almost anything and have remarkable survival abilities. There are over 3,000 species of cockroaches! Some of these are pests and carry diseases that can cause illness in humans.
Fleas
Fleas are one of the most common and problematic pests found in the home. They are parasites, feeding off the blood of warm-blooded animals such as cats and dogs.
