How Often Should You Get A Termite Inspection?

-

 

Regular termite inspections are recommended even if your home has never had a termite infestation. Annual inspections are recommended with more frequent inspections for properties located in higher-risk areas. 

  • Schedule a professional termite inspection every year.
  • Keep garden mulch and soil below weep holes.
  • Repair leaking plumbing, gutters and downpipes promptly.
  • Remove timber, cardboard and firewood stored against external walls.
  • Keep subfloor areas and inspection zones clear and accessible.
Regular maintenance, moisture control and following the recommendations on your termite management notice can help reduce conditions that encourage termite activity.

  If you’re one of those few people who think ‘big deal’ when they see a cockroach scurrying across the floor or some cockroach eggs in the back of a cupboard, then think again. Thankfully, most people feel fear and repulsion when they see a cockie, and that instinct is correct. They don’t just reflect terribly on your home or business, cockroaches also: Contaminate your food, expelling bacteria as they go. Reproduce at an astonishing rate – we’re talking hundreds and even tens of thousands of additional cockroaches per female and her offspring. Endanger your brand from the customer point of view, and your business from a regulatory perspective – especially if you’re in the food/hospitality game. Spread diseases through their faeces and saliva (through  cockroach bites ), including terrifying pathogens like salmonella, listeria and campylobacter.

And despite our best efforts to keep our homes and spaces clear of their bacteria-coated nippers, ants always seem to slip through the cracks to steal our crumbs once again. So is it pointless to even explore how to get rid of ants? Find out more here: https://www.cannonpestmanagement.com.au/how-to-get-rid-of-ants/

  When you want your little one to pop off to sleep with a hug and a giggle, you always remember to warn them: ‘Sleep tight – don’t let the bed bugs bite!” As ever, the back story is always fascinating. ‘Sleep tight’ is a reference to the way 1800s mattresses sat on beds comprised of woven rope that often had to be re-tightened for a sound slumber. As for the bed bugs, the risk was real – as the tiny little critters just loved those old mattresses stuffed with straw and delicious corn husks. But even today, knowing how to get rid of bed bugs is something you should know. Why’s that? Because across Australia, but especially in Victoria,  bed bugs are still a problem . According to the Victorian government, the problem has gotten a lot worse over the last few years as blood-sucking bed bugs slowly evolved and became more resistant to modern insecticides.  Find out more here: https://www.cannonpestmanagement.com.au/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs/
