This large cockroach closely resembles the American cockroach. The key characteristics are the yellow stripes on the outer edge of the front wings just behind the “shield.”
This cockroach is a ready flier and travels easily from trees onto houses. It is commonly attracted to homes to feed on improperly maintained garbage containers and pet food on patios and decks.
The Australian cockroach usually invades roof voids, where it finds conditions similar to that found within a tree hole (its natural habitat). Once populations grow large inside these sites, the cockroaches regularly venture down into the home. The occasional cockroach may wander into a home from harborage outside, but chronic infestations are most always associated with roof void or cavity wall infestations.
Involves treating roof void with Permethrin powder, applying a low toxic, low odour residual insecticide to the entire internal perimeter of the building where accessible, applying a stronger residual insecticide to the external perimeter and eaves of the building, fence-lines, garages, garden beds and driveways.
Treatment Time – Approximately 45 min to 1 hour.
Size: About 12 – 15mm length.
Colour: Brown.
It is recognized by the two dark, longitudinal stripes on the “shield” at the front of the body under which the head is located.
The German cockroach is the most prolific breeder among all cockroaches. Each egg capsule can contain up to 40 eggs and development from egg to adult can occur in as little as 45 days. Like all cockroaches, it is omnivorous and will eat virtually anything people will and many things we won’t.
In homes, this pest will first locate itself in bathrooms and the kitchen, as close as possible to food and moisture sources. It spends about 80 percent of its time resting in cracks and voids.
Occupants must leave the property for approximately 1 hour after treatment.
Occupants Do Not need to leave the property whilst treatment is being carried out.
Treatment time – approximately 45 min to 1 hour.
Warranty period – 6 months.
This common name covers around 100 different species. Most live outside under bark and hunt prey at night. They often enter houses but are usually timid and placid.
The Red-back is Australia’s best known spider. They can live almost anywhere but do especially well in the man-made, disturbed environments. Red-backs are prodigious breeders. Each female makes several egg sacs in a year and produces up to a thousand eggs. In warm conditions when there’s plenty of food Red-back numbers can explode. Untidy webs may contain white pea-size sac. Hundreds of Red-back spider bites are reported each year, but less than 20 per cent require anti-venom treatment. Only female Red-back spiders bite people. Male spiders are only a tenth the size of females.
This Golden Orb spider gets her name from the fantastic golden web that she makes. The webs are so strong they can even entangle small birds, but the spider only eats small insects.
