Some of the most common pest control services provided in Perth include:

Assessment and inspection

If you suspect that you might have a pest problem or you simply want to make sure that your home is clear of any pests or rodents, you can hire pest control to come and assess the situation. They'll provide a detailed and thorough inspection of your home and yard, including your attic, basement and even the foundations of your home. If they find that you have a pest problem, they'll be able to suggest the best solution for your particular situation, before it gets out of hand.

Extermination of insects and rodents

The most common insects and pests people usually call pest control for fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, termites, spiders, rats, mice and sometimes even wasps and bees. If left untreated insects such as termites, ants, fleas, bedbugs and so on can cause a lot of damage and make you feel uncomfortable living in your own home. Pest control services in Perth deal with such uncomfortable situations using suitable treatments and chemicals that get rid of your problem in the most efficient way possible, saving you a lot of trouble and money in the process.

Rodent removal

Rodents are a pretty common pest problem homeowners have to deal with. That's because once they enter your home, mice and rats can multiply very fast, and in the search for food they can damage your walls, installations, wiring, and furniture, which can not only affect your budget but your health as well. Rodent removal includes inspection of the attic, basement, walls, furniture and cabinets for signs of rodent infestation, figuring out the best ways to address the problem and setting up traps and bait to exterminate them quickly and effectively.

Possum removal

Unlike rodent removal, possum removal includes safely catching and relocating the possum away from your home and sealing off any points of entry so it cannot return. Pest control services also include removal of wasps' nests, spider nets, safe and quick relocation of bees and much more.

While many homeowners choose to deal with their pest problem on their own, hiring a professional pest control service is safer for your family and the environment. That's because pest control services use fewer pesticides and apply the right kind of methods needed to securely and safely eliminate the problem without causing further damage.

Hiring a professional to take care of the problem for you can save you a lot of time and money and give you the peace of mind you need so you can stop worrying about your pest problem endangering your family and pets.

However, since they can't differentiate between old, decaying wood and your home's wooden structure, they have been reported to cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across Australia. While they typically nest in soil, the only thing they need to thrive is a secure habitat with the required moisture levels and nearby food supply. This means that no one is immune to termites, and while some areas of Australia are more affected than others, a lot of homeowners will eventually have to deal with a termite infestation. The important thing in such cases is to act quickly before the problem escalates furthermore and leads to irreversible damage. 

When it comes to termite infestations, pest control experts typically start with an initial pest inspection and assessment of the home or commercial property to determine the magnitude of the problem and find the right pest management solution for it.
