Termites under a bathtub in an old 1950’s house. Took a bit of a crawl but we found the entry point and can now treat appropriately.

Some active termites we found in a roofspace during a timber pest inspection. Some serious damage had been caused to the roof structure and a full termite barrier was required.

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been setting up a comprehensive termite management plan on a rural property. The farmhouse was surrounded by a huge jarrah verandah. We treated underneath the decking with non-toxic Altriset to protect the house.

We then set up in ground termite monitoring stations in the yards and a couple of above ground termite bait stations on trees with obvious termite activity.

We can now monitor activity quarterly and treat as required without any nasty poisons.

A massive termite nest we found under the floorboards 😮 Some damage was found in the room above but the room had no access underneath. We had to cut a hole in the floor to be able to treat it correctly.

February 2015

How time flies, we had only been operational for a few months then. A new born baby and a lot of uncertainty. I had more hair then and not as many greys 🤣. Evie’s in year 5 of primary school now and the business is going great.

Very thankful for everyone who supports us and all our regulars.

This is a bear a pest controller found in a subfloor on a standard termite inspection (under someone’s floorboards) in Canada 😮 😱. Worst we get in Western Australia is a Rat, Lizard or a worst case sleepy 🐍 . Scary stuff.

As the cold weather kicks in Rats 🐀 and Mice 🐁 are looking for a warm place to live. Unfortunately this is often into our homes and roofs which can result in damages to Air Conditioners, plumbing and electrical wiring. It can also create an unhygienic environment to live in.

Happy to help 😊

🧹☀️THANK YOU! ☀️🧹
We have had many volunteers pitch in over the last few months to clean up out P&C shed. Volunteers removed hard rubbish for collection, EcoPest wa came by to move the unwanted guests along as a very kind donation, and more volunteers this morning cleaned and organised the P&C Shed. Amazing work everyone! Thank you so much for your time and determination. It looks amazing!!

Black house spider- probably the most common spider in the Perth metro area. They in particular love the new housing estates. Colorbond fencing and garden sheds are their favourite spots. High numbers encourage White Tail Spiders to the property as BH spiders are their preferred food source.

The Black House Spider is a dark robust spider, with grey hairs sometimes visible on the carapace. Females are larger than males but there is a great range in adult sizes. The web structure includes one or more 'funnel-like' entrances to the spider’s retreat, which is sometimes misunderstood as a Funnel-web Spider web.

Black House Spiders are timid animals and bites from them are infrequent. The bite may be quite painful and cause local swelling. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sweating and giddiness are occasionally recorded. In a few cases skin lesions have developed after multiple bites. A cold pack may relieve local pain. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Redback Spider- Female Redback Spiders are black (occasionally brownish) with an obvious orange to red longitudinal stripe on the upper abdomen, with the red stripe sometimes being broken, and an "hourglass" shaped red/orange spot on the underside of the abdomen. The males' red markings are often less distinct. The body is light brown with white markings on the upper side of the abdomen, and a pale hour-glass marking on the underside.

Redback bites occur frequently, particularly over the summer months. More than 250 cases receive antivenom each year, with several milder envenomations probably going unreported. Only the female bite is dangerous. They can cause serious illness and have caused deaths. However, since Redback Spiders rarely leave their webs, humans are not likely to be bitten unless a body part such as a hand is put directly into the web. So be careful reaching under outdoor furniture, moving pot plants etc…and look out for messy webbing.

For more information on our spider treatments call Bernie on 0488661327 or pm us through our page.

We are going to offer a bit of info on Perth spiders going into spring. We are predicting quite a bad spider season due to all the rain…increasing food sources for spiders.

White-tailed spiders are spiders native to southern and western Australia and so named because of the whitish tips at the end of their abdomens.

White-tailed spiders are vagrant hunters that seek out and envenom prey rather than spinning a web to capture it; their preferred prey is other spiders. This is why when you have a large number of spiders on your property (especially Black House Spiders) you may begin to see White tails. Unfortunately they do like getting in awkward spots like towels and linen which is when most bites occur.

Our spider treatments are safe and effective. Please call on 0488661327 /

Termites found in floorboards behind a couch. A leaking air conditioner in the garden bed outside created the perfect breeding ground for a termite nest. Luckily for the owners we found them before they made it to the roof.
