Flying Insects & Pests
Bees
Honey bees were introduced to Australia by early settlers for a good
supply of honey, but naturally a few escaped. Now they are found throughout
Australia. Their size is about 1.3mm-1.6 mm and have very distinct yellow and black
markings.
The honey bee defends its nests very aggressively and if you are stung, it is fatal
to the bee, as the stinger pulls out the bee’s lower abdomen leaving the venom gland
pumping in the victim. This is why they are a danger and a pest to humans: the sting
cause local pain and swelling. Nests are usually found undercover or in cavities.
Increased activity in a specific area or a concentration of bees to one area often
means there is a nest nearby.

Clothes Moths
Discovering an infestation of clothes moths usually occurs too late - once you find a hole in a garment. However you if you see an adult moth flying about in your home, it could be time to check the closet. Moths like to live in dark spaces like closets and infest items like clothing and upholstery made of animal-based materials. Their larvae eat the fabrics and can leave stains from vomit and feces. A large population of moths in the home can become costly. If you suspect there’s moths in your home talk to our trained technicians about prevention methods and a treatment plan for your home.
Flies
Flies are well-known disease vectors and have the risk to contaminate our food. There are various different fly species which are breeding at different locations (bin area, drain, fermenting material, carcass etc.). For effective fly control it is necessary to locate the breeding area. Most of the fly issues can be solved barely with good housekeeping. For 24/7 fly control Fly machines are recommended.
Mosquitoes
The best know nuisance insects. They carry several diseases like Malaria, Dengue, West Nile Virus etc. Standing water with organic material provides good breeding area for mosquitoes. For effective control it is essential to locate the breeding area which can be far from your property. In case the breeding area can not be located mosquito traps are recommended for 24/7 protection.
Wasps
The common paper wasps are found all across southern mainland Australia
from Southern Queensland, through New South Wales, down into Victoria and across to
South Australia. They are 10-15mm long and will sometimes appear yellow in or red in
colour. The wasp is a social insect and will usually have colonies of many
individuals. They make their ‘paper’ nests by chewing nectar and using their saliva
to form the nest.
The wasp is a beneficial insect around the home, they help control caterpillars, but
they become extremely aggressive when approached or if their nest is disturbed. They
can deliver a painful sting and the nests should be avoided during the day. Contact
us if you have problems with wasps and our professional technicians will take care
