Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Australia. They can cause serious structural damage to homes and buildings.
Subterranean termites are most common in Queensland. They require moisture in, under and around timber to survive and thrive. If you spot shelter tubes or mud tubes near the ground, it’s a sign of an active termite colony nearby.
Avoid wood to ground contact in your home. For instance, replace wooden lattices with concrete bases and avoid putting decking or retaining walls in direct contact with the ground.
Bug Out Pest Solutions offers prompt and comprehensive termite inspections as well as affordable treatment quotes. For Subterranean & Drywood termite treatments we use the non-repellant chemical Termidor, which is applied via soil injection to kill and deter termites.
Bed bugs are blood-sucking pests that can cause itchy red welts while you sleep. They typically hitch rides in people’s clothing, luggage, or shoes. These critters can also be brought home by visiting friends, staying in hotels, or purchasing used furniture.
Contrary to popular belief, these critters do not only infest dirty, unkempt homes. They are found in many different places and can be easily mistaken for fleas or chigger bites.
Look for dark spots on mattresses and box springs, a musty smell, and fecal droppings (reddish-black). Bed bug control specialists use heat treatments to eradicate these pests. They may also recommend vacuuming your house and washing all bedding, clothing, and furniture.
Cockroaches are the most common peridomestic pest. They move quickly along surfaces and are capable of carrying many diseases and contaminating food and utensils.
They gain entry to buildings by wriggling through cracks, crevices and drains. They can also hitch rides in boxes and used bags. Remove leaf piles and wood debris from outdoor areas, and seal cracks with caulking.
Glue traps can be placed in locations where cockroaches have been seen. Bait stations are small plastic units that contain a food base and insecticide, and can be refilled as needed. Infestations are best controlled with perimeter and barrier treatments, and residual sprays in harborage areas.
Ants can invade homes for a number of reasons, many of which are not the homeowners’ fault. For example, if you leave an empty can of soda sitting on the window ledge or somewhere else inside your home for a few days ants will march in and start feasting on the sugar.
You can prevent ant infestations by keeping foods in sealed containers and cleaning up crumbs regularly. Also, use ant repellent sprays to make your home less attractive to them and get regular pest control. Besides, carpenter ants can contaminate stored food items with their saliva and feces, which can cause illness.
Wasps are a common pest that can ruin outdoor dining and family barbecues. These insects can also sting scavenging food and drink swillers, as well as pets. They have a painful, multiple-use stinger that can irritate the skin.
Avoid the need for wasp control by keeping your food and garbage covered, using tightly sealed trash cans and covering chimneys and vents with mesh. Sealing any cracks and gaps in your home can also help.
If you must tackle a wasp’s nest, use store-bought wasp spray at dusk or later. If possible, spray the nest from a distance to avoid getting stung. Alternatively, you can try spraying the nest with soapy water, which clogs the wasps’ breathing pores and kills them instantly.
Silverfish are wingless insects that get their name from their fish-like appearance and movement. They live and breed in moist conditions, and can thrive in dark areas like basements or laundry rooms.
These insects feed on cellulose from wood, paper and book bindings; the sizing in wall paper glue; starch in fabrics; and dead insect matter. They may also eat fungi and certain cereals. They are nocturnal and hide during the day; when they are disturbed, they will dart toward another secluded spot.

Eliminate their food sources by storing flour, pasta, cereal, and pet foods in airtight containers. Remove clutter, and seal cracks with caulk.
