Winter Pest Control Tips

Winter Pest Control Tips

In this blog, the team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control shares some Winter pest control tips – because no one likes to have unwanted house guests at any time of the year.

While creepy crawlies love the warmer Queensland weather, it doesn’t mean they disappear when the temperature drops.

In fact, they may have moved inside your home, where they’re residing in cracks and crevasses as they seek warmth and shelter.

Winter Pest Control Tips

A lot of our customers have pest treatments carried out at their homes religiously every six months to keep the pests at bay.

We understand that pest control might not be on the top of your to-do list during Winter, but it can be a good idea to rid your home of creepy crawlies before Summer (when they make the most of those prime breeding conditions).

Plus, if you can prevent the pests from becoming a problem when its cooler, you’ll avoid the Summer pest treatment rush.

Here are some other tips to reduce your chances of sharing your home with vermin.

  1. Take your bins out regularly: If you empty your bins every day and take the rubbish outside, you’ll be removing possible food sources for pests.
  2. Keep clutter to a minimum: Pests love to make themselves comfortable in storage areas which aren’t cleaned or accessed regularly. It is a good idea not to hold onto paper clutter, where possible, and turn over other cupboards frequently.   
  3. Ensure doors to outside are closed: Keeping doors closed to your patio or outdoor areas can prevent pests – especially rodents and spiders – from sneaking inside, because once they’re inside they might not want to leave!
  4. Seal any gaps:  Many pests are tiny and will do what they can to weasel their way into the warmth and comfort of your home. Pests can also slip inside through broken windows and fly screens – so if you’ve been putting off any repair jobs, now’s the time to do them!
  5. Trim trees and shrubs near your home: This will give the pests fewer places to hide, and when they are around you’ll be more likely to see them.

Termite Inspection Brisbane

Termite Inspection Brisbane

Do you think termites might have invaded your Brisbane property?

Don’t leave it to chance – call the professionals from All Corner’s Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control to schedule a termite inspection in Brisbane… because trust us, when it comes to termites it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Termites are very destructive pests that can cause major structural damage to buildings, so it’s important to get on top of their presence before it becomes a problem.

We recommend having a licensed inspector – such as All Corners – carry out an inspection at least once a year.

Termite Inspection and Treatment

If you have termites invading your property, it’s possible you have no idea as the little pests are not easy to detect with an untrained eye.

Our licensed inspectors are fully-qualified to conduct inspections at your property in the hope of picking up any activity in an early stage and before any significant destruction is caused.

During an inspection we will:

  1. Look for signs of a termite infestation, including mud tubing or timber decay.
  2. Inform the homeowners or property owner of any areas around the home which might be ideal for termite infestation.
  3. Educate homeowners about signs of termite activity. That way they can keep an eye out for anything unusual between inspections. 
  4. Make recommendations about ways to protect their home from an attack in the future.

Termite Treatment Brisbane

If termites are found at your property, the termite manager will have to determine the species and consider the building’s construction, before deciding on the best treatment plan.

Some treatment options include:

  • Spot treating stumps or sections around house.
  • Termite Chemical Barriers or treated zones around house.
  • Install reticulations, monitoring and baiting systems.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Brisbane

Professional Carpet Cleaning Brisbane

Have you been neglecting the carpets in your Brisbane home or business? If you said yes, it might be time to call in a professional carpet cleaner.

At All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control we aim for the best possible clean every time.

Keep reading as we explain a bit more about our cleaning method and how it works to remove the dirt and grime from under your feet.

In this blog we also share a review from one of our happy customers, a regular who has been using All Corners for almost 5 years.  

Carpet Cleaning Brisbane

Our professional team uses a hot water extraction method to get rid of stubborn sediment from your carpets.

Here’s how it works: Our high-quality truck-mounted machine discharges extremely hot water – about 100 degrees Celsius – and carpet detergents onto your carpet.

The mixture of cleaning products and heat helps to kill the bacteria and lift the grime up off the floor, which is then sucked back into the machine.

Regular carpet cleaning by a professional will make it easier to remove any stains and keep your house or business feeling fresher.

If you want to extend the life of your carpets, it’s also important to ensure you vacuum them regularly and thoroughly because little grains of dirt are sharp and when they sit in the carpet they can cut the fibres and destroy it.

Read more about the benefits of frequent cleaning here.

Cleaning Old Carpet

If your carpet is old or damaged the team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control will exercise extra caution, just like we did with this satisfied customer:

Have been using this business mainly for carpet cleaning as they have an on-board engine extractor and the business is run by Ashley and now other staff.  I have engaged Ashley for over 4 years and my daughter also uses him.  28-year-old carpets come out so so clean and it is incredible as to the difference. 

We have 3 mutts and two cats and I have no doubt that the carpets cannot be cleaned any better. Also had pest control done and it a serious pest control application.  I will take before and after carpet cleaning images next time. Nothing phases Ashley or the boys with him.

An on-board engine is the only extraction that anyone should use as the muck cleaned out of the carpet, has to be pulled out with power. Very very happy.

Keep reading as we explain a bit more about our services.

What to Expect During Pest Control and Termite Inspection?

A combined termite inspection and pest control treatment usually takes about an hour and a half – 2 hours.

However, if we do come across any termites it can take much longer, because we’ll want to investigate thoroughly to ascertain just how much damage they’ve caused and to determine the best treatment option.

Brisbane Pest Control

During our general pest control treatments, we target spiders, cockroaches and silverfish.

To rid your home of unwanted visitors, we use the latest treatments including, liquid sprays, dry aerosols and powders.

If need be, we can also create targeted treatments for rodents and fleas.

Termite Inspection Brisbane

When our pest management technician carries out a termite inspection, we’ll check for any signs of timber decay or damage, or mud tubing.

It is important to be vigilant with inspections and have them done regularly, due to the destructive nature of the pests and the significant damage they can cause to buildings.

If we don’t find termites, we will:

  • Highlight any issues which may attract termites
  • Recommend ways to reduce the risk of termite attacks

If we do find termites, our termite manager will:

  • Identify the species of termite
  • Determine the damage caused so far
  • Develop an appropriate treatment plan

If we can’t do the treatment that day, we’ll come back as soon as possible to eradicate the pests and prevent further damage.

Treating Fleas at Home Flea Pest Control Brisbane

Treating Fleas at Home | Flea Pest Control Brisbane

Fleas can be tiny and troublesome houseguests, so in this blog we’ve put together some information about treating fleas at home.

The teeny wingless parasites feed on warm-blooded vertebrates like cats, dogs, birds and people, and their bites can cause irritation, including itchiness and irritation.

They are so small (only 1-10 millimetres), but they have enlarged hind legs which means they can jump easily onto other hosts.  

If you think your pet is experiencing discomfort because of fleas, keep reading about treatments you can carry out – including a pest spray by our professional All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control team.

Flea Pest Control Brisbane

Preventative Measures to Treat Fleas

Some types of fleas breed all year round, so prevention is important.

  • Maintain your dog or cat’s flea program. This may include collars or chewable monthly tablets. Talk to your vet about the best/most effective treatment for your pet.
    • Wash your pet’s bedding often, as well as other areas around the home where they might sleep (that could include your bed, the couch and rugs)
    • Vacuum your home regularly, paying more attention to carpeted areas and furniture.

Sprays to Kill Fleas

At All Corners Cleaning and Pest Control we use a synthetic chemical spray to stop the parasites in their tracks.

  • Inside your house, we carry out a full internal covering spray.
  • We also take care of the outside of your house by doing an external yard spray.

If you’ve got a bad flea infestation or a history of the parasites, we can include an insect growth regulator as well.

How To Get Rid Of Spiders In The House

How To Get Rid Of Spiders In The House

Do you want to know how to get rid of spiders in the house? You’re not alone if you said yes!

In Queensland, we’ve got thousands of species and while some people are simply scared of them, it’s important to remember that some spiders are dangerous too.

So why not let the team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control help rid your home of webs and their inhabitants?

Want to evict arachnids from your home? Keep reading our blog or give us a call on 0439 722 914 today.

Spider Pest Control Brisbane

At All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control, we come across a lot of unwanted house guests – including MANY spiders.

They like to make themselves at home in and under furniture, cornices, weepholes and garden beds.

Common Spiders in Brisbane

Some of the most common species we find in and around south-east Queensland homes include:

  • Huntsman spiders
  • Daddy Long Legs spiders
  • Redback spiders
  • White-tail spiders
  • Golden Silk Orb-weaver spiders
  • Wolf spiders
  • Black House Spiders,

Of the above species, redbacks and white-tails are two of the more dangerous.

Female redback bites can cause serious illness and even death, according to the Australian Museum.

Bites from white-tail spiders can be painful, with itchiness and swelling possible at the bite site.

However, as many spiders look similar, it’s safer to treat them all as venomous and leave them alone.

Expert tip: Did you know redbacks rarely leave their web? So many people who are bitten accidentally put their hand or a body part in a web.

Don’t get caught out unexpectedly! We recommend checking any outdoor kids play equipment or seating before moving it or sitting down.

 Also, if you’ve left any hats or shoes outside give them a good shake as well before bringing them in or putting them on.

How To Get Rid Of Spiders In The House

At All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control, we target spiders in our full pest control treatment.

We focus on all cracks and crevasses in your yard and the exterior of your home.

An internal spray is also used inside to prevent them from settling indoors. We often treat roof cavities, wall voids as well as skirting and cornices.

Some of our clients have a pest treatment done religiously at home, and if you want to keep creepy crawly numbers down, we do recommend having it done annually. Book here

Our team uses the latest techniques and treatments to target unwanted critters, and it’s important to note that any pesticides we use are safe for your family and pets.

Common household bugs Australia

Common Household Bugs Australia

We’ve got our fair share of common household bugs in Australia, but that doesn’t mean you have to put up with them inhabiting your home.

In this blog, we reveal the 5 creepy crawlies we see most often in our travels completing pest and termite inspections during the hot Summer months across Brisbane’s northside, including:

  • Cockroaches
  • Fleas
  • Termites
  • Ants
  • Spiders

We also discuss the issues these bugs can cause, and the treatment options the qualified team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control can help with.

5 Common Household Bugs Australia

The heat and the moisture in Summer creates the perfect breeding conditions for many household bugs.

1. Cockroaches

Cockies creep into our homes looking for food and a place to breed. In doing so they spread germs and can even cause damage to electrical appliances.

There are 5 main species of cockroaches that we find infesting homes in South East Queensland, including:

  • German Cockroach
  • American Cockroach
  • Australian Cockroach
  • Brown-banded cockroach
  • Oriental Cockroach

Pest Treatment for Cockroaches

We use the latest techniques, including a combination of gel and spray treatments, to get rid of creepy crawlies, and target cockroaches in our full pest control treatment. Find out more here.

2. Fleas

Fleas find a host (often our beloved fur babies) and feast on their blood, before jumping onto other animals – and even people – to satiate their appetite.

A flea bite can be unpleasant and cause swelling and itchiness.

Pest Treatment for Fleas

Usually, we treat fleas with a full internal covering spray, as well as an external yard spray. We can also add in insect growth regulators if need be.

You can also take preventative measures to keep fleas away.

They include:

  • Frequently washing your animal’s bedding (and yours if they jump up for a snuggle in the night)
  • Regular vacuuming (and professional carpet cleaning annually), and
  • Carrying out flea programs from your vet.

3. Termites

Termites might be tiny, but they can cause expensive structural damage in just 3 months of an attack. Not only is this a frustrating experience, but it can be very expensive and lead to a costly repair bill.

Pest Treatment for Termites

Homeowners should have their properties inspected for termites at least every 12 months.

There are a range of ways to treat termites, and treatment does differ depending on the termite species.

At All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control, we will offer advice about the best treatment and management for your situation.

4. Ants

Ants are annoying – there’s no denying it! We commonly find them in Brisbane kitchens and bathrooms looking for food and water.

The nest in dark places, including switch boards and electrical appliances, which can potentially cause damage.

Pest Treatment for Ants

Our experienced technicians target ants and their nests during our full pest control treatments.

To learn more about our pest control packages, click here.

5. Spiders

Scared of spiders? We’ve got plenty arachnids in the sunshine state.

In disturbed urban areas the biggest concern is the presence of venomous species like redbacks and white-tail spiders.

According to the Australian Museum, the female redback has a dangerous bite that can cause serious illness and even death.

If you believe you’ve been bitten by a redback, it’s important to seek medical attention.

The Australian Museum says white-tail spider bites can cause burning as well as itchiness and swelling.

Pest Treatment for Spiders

In our full pest control treatment, we target ants, cockroaches, silverfish and spiders.

Outdoors we concentrate on all the nooks and crannies of your home, with a full crack and crevasse treatment. We also ensure garden sheds and play equipment are not overlooked!

Inside, we carry out an internal spray on cornices and skirting, as well as roof voids, if needed.
