Days are getting longer and it’s starting to warm up in Victoria, perfect for us to spend more time outside and unfortunately, also perfect for most of our common pests.
Early Spring is a great time to consider an ant and spider treatment for your home or business, before pest activity really gets underway.
Why treat early?
Ants can nest around paths, gardens, walls, subfloors and other areas surrounding buildings, travelling considerable distances in search of food and water. Once they establish reliable trails into a building, getting on top of them can become more difficult.
A professional treatment can target areas where ants are nesting or travelling and create a treated barrier around common entry points. Depending on the ant species and level of activity, sprays may also be combined with targeted baits or other treatments they carry back to their nest.
Spiders are different. Most are beneficial predators and an important part of our environment, so the aim isn't to eradicate every spider in the garden. Instead, treatment focuses on reducing unwanted spider activity on and immediately around the building, particularly around eaves, windows, doorways and other sheltered areas where spiders and webs commonly appear.
Why spring?
Treating at the beginning of the warmer season gives you the opportunity to tackle existing activity and put preventative measures in place before ants start marching across the kitchen bench or your entertainment area becomes prime spider real estate.
It can also be a particularly useful time for businesses. Fewer webs around entrances, windows, signage and customer areas help keep premises looking clean and well maintained, while controlling ants before they find their way into kitchens, staff rooms and food areas can save hassle later.
Pest treatments work best alongside simple prevention: keep food and rubbish properly contained and removed promptly, keeping vegetation away from buildings where practical, repair damaged flyscreens and seal obvious gaps and entry points.
Prevention at the start of spring can make for a much less pesty summer.
