Important Facts About A Current Pest License

The head technician for Micropest Pest Control Sydney is Gerard Dallow; he has over thirty-five years of providing pest solutions for thousands of pest infestations. Ten years in South Australia and twenty-five on the Sydney's North Shore, C.B.D of Sydney, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, and Hills districts.

A significant difference between the licensing today and thirty-five years ago is getting a full pest license. It used to take three years to complete. Today you can buy a franchise, and a trainer can give you a permit within seven days.

When I started, I had to study at TAFE and spend the allocated time being trained by someone with a full license which was three years. I was very fortunate as the person who taught me was in his late sixties and had been in the industry for over forty years. He was the number one trouble shooter for Flick Adelaide for ten years. I learned a lot more than most, but he did treat me like an apprentice and a general dogsbody.

When you first start with the pest industry, you go through the motions. You don't overthink what you are doing. But like a fine wine, a good pest controller, after five or so years, starts to think about why and where they are spraying. After spending ten years in the pest industry, you're an expert, and you can do it in your sleep. Thirty-five years in the industry, and you're at the top of the food chain.

It is rare to have a pest tech come to your house with over thirty-five years of experience. So, when you telephone Micropest pest control Sydney, you will get an operator who has been in the industry for more than thirty-five years to carry out your pest service.

Differentiation Between Past and Current Pest Management Treatments.

In a nutshell, the main fundamental difference between pest management in the past, and current methods, is all about repellent and non-repellent chemicals. When I first started in the industry, all the pest treatments we used were very cheap, toxic, environmentally unfriendly, smelly, messy, repellent and just outright dangerous. Some are even believed to be carcinogenic. The attitude was the more potent and the smellier the chemical was, and the more chemical applied, the better. Customers complained if there was not enough toxic smell or swimming pools of chemicals left on the floors, old school.

The current modern quality pest control treatments are little or low odour, non-repellent, low toxicity, expensive, stainless, and most importantly, environmentally friendly. Environmentally friendly in the sense that they don't stay in the environment for an extended period. Unfortunately, most effective pest treatments have an element of toxicity but in increments relative to the target pest and not to babies and pets. Treatments are applied more strategically, reducing the amount of volume. Today if the pest treatment applied smells, the customer complains. But be warned, many cowboys out there will use highly toxic cheap chemicals to save a few dollars.

What is going on recently In Sydney?

The new year 2025 has arrived bringing with it warm wet weather, ideal for termites, cockroaches and spiders. The phones are running hot with everyone wanting their pest control treatments and termite inspections. Apparently we are going to have a very hot and wet end to summer according to the weather forcasters. This usually means that we will have more termite infestations in houses.

1) If you hear noises in the roof, do not delay investigating. Rats do like to gnaw on electrical wires and have been known to cause fires. After the rats have been controlled, if you wash your house with a diluted solution of Chlorine, it will remove the pheromone tracks from the rats making it less likely for a rat re-infestation.

2) Cut trees away from the roof of your house, making it more difficult for possums and rats to gain entry to your roof cavity. Also, install downpipe filters to stop rats from climbing up the downpipes to access the roof.

3) Any signs of German cockroaches in your house or apartment, please do not spray them as you will spread them throughout your abode. Instead, ring a professional, and they will bait them with a cockroach bait called Maxforce Gold.

4) If you go on holiday, please check your hotel room for bed bugs before staying in the room. If found, ask to move to another room if not change hotels. When you get home and you had bedbugs on holiday unpack your luggage outside when you arrive home and put in the dryer on a high heat for 30 min or a chest freezer for 2 days.Never store your luggage in your bedroom.

5) If you haven't had a termite inspection for a while, it is strongly recommended to get one at least once a year. Not only is it necessary, but it will give you peace of mind.

6) As soon as you see a male Brush Turkey in your yard, Rabbits or Bandicoots. Run down to Bunnings and pick up a couple of bags of the smelliest dynamic lifter you can find and spread it evenly over your lawn and gardens, and sometimes if you are lucky, the smell sends them next door. They all have very sensitive noses. Rake up all the leaves starting July to November, so the male bush turkey has nothing to make the nest.

7) If you find termites in the garden or house, ring a termite control expert promptly. Termites cause considerable damage. Do not spray termites. Leave them alone until a professional can evaluate them; otherwise, it might take a lot longer to exterminate them and cost you considerably more.

8) If you find wasps in the garden or house, don't delay ring us promptly. Bees and wasps are dangerous and should be treated by trained professionals.

Why has Sydney So Many Pests?

The abundance of pests in Sydney is due to several factors. The warm, humid climate provides an ideal breeding ground for many pests, while the city's dense population makes it easier for these pests to spread. Poor sanitation and improper garbage disposal also provide a hospitable environment for many pests such as cockroaches and rodents. Additionally, nearby parks and gardens which there are many around Sydney can provide homes for various species of termites, Possums, bush turkeys, birds, bats and other animals that may carry parasites or diseases on their fur or feathers. These creatures may also introduce new viruses and bacteria into the area that further exacerbates the pest problem in Sydney. Finally, construction projects can create habitats suitable for invaders like ants, rats or bedbugs which can quickly multiply out of control if left unchecked by a professional Sydney-based pest service provider.

Topography of Sydney

Sydneys geography offers an incredible mix of natural beauty and urban structure. Positioned on a submerged coastline, rising ocean levels have created deep inlets, giving the city its iconic harbors and waterways. To the east, Sydney is bordered by the Tasman Sea, while the Blue Mountains lie to the west. The Hawkesbury River marks its northern boundary, and the Woronora Plateau sits to the south. The city spans two geographical zones. Cumberland Plain (south and west of the harbor): Relatively flat and home to Sydneys earliest developments. Hornsby Plateau (north of the harbor). Characterized by steep valleys and rugged terrain, which became more populated after the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built. Sydneys coastline boasts 70 beautiful surf beaches, with Bondi Beach being the most popular. The Nepean River runs along the western edge of the city, eventually becoming the Hawkesbury River as it flows into Broken Bay. The Parramatta River drains through Sydneys western suburbs into Port Jackson, while the Georges and Cooks Rivers flow south into Botany Bay. Sydney's borders are not rigidly defined, but the Greater Sydney region according to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard spans 12,369 km square and includes areas like the Central Coast in the north, the Blue Mountains in the west, and Sutherland Shire in the south. The City of Sydneys local government area, meanwhile, covers 26 km square, stretching from Garden Island to Bicentennial Park.

Geology

Sydney landscape is defined by its sandstone foundation. Most of the exposed rocks around Sydney are made of Sydney sandstone, dating back 360 to 200 million years. This gives the region its characteristic cliffs and vibrant harbor aesthetics. The citys geological history unfolds in the Sydney Basin, formed during the early Triassic period. Coastal erosion has carved deep valleys (known as rias) into the dense Hawkesbury sandstone, with rising sea levels over time transforming them into stunning harbors, including the world-famous Sydney Harbour. Sydney features two primary soil types: Sandy soils from Hawkesbury sandstone. Clay-based soils from shales and volcanic activity. The western Sydney region is dominated by Wianamatta shale. Comprised of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, mudstone, and siltstone, this geological feature also reflects the areas ancient connection to a massive river delta during the Triassic era.

Ecology

Sydney's natural environment is rich in biodiversity and marked by distinct vegetation types. Grassy woodlands, dotted with eucalyptus, casuarinas, and wattles, dominate the landscape, especially in Western Sydney. These plants often feature tough, spiky leaves suited for Sydney's low-fertility soils. The city also houses pockets of lush wet sclerophyll forests mainly in the elevated, wetter northern regions featuring tall eucalyptus trees and a vibrant understory of soft-leaved shrubs and tree ferns. Some vegetation communities, like the Cumberland Plain Woodland and Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest, are critically endangered, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts. Sydney is home to diverse wildlife, including: Birds such as Australian ravens, crested pigeons, and magpies,bush turkeys and ibis. Visitors will also spot introduced species like the common myna and house sparrow. Reptiles like skinks are commonly found across the area. Marine life thrives in Sydneys bays, beaches, and harbors. Among the native mammal population, the grey-headed flying fox is notable, while the Sydney funnel web spider serves as a famous (albeit fearsome) resident.

Climate

Sydney enjoys a humid subtropical climate, marked by warm summers and mild winters. Influences from the El Nino, Southern Oscillation and other climate drivers result in diverse weather patterns, ranging from droughts and heatwaves to storms and flooding. Summers are warm, with an average of 15 days above 30 degrees annually in the central business district. However, inland suburbs like Penrith often experience hotter extremes, with temperatures reaching 49 degrees recorded in January 2020. Winters are generally mild, but frost can occur in the western suburbs on occasion. Rainfall is spread throughout the year but has become more irregular and summer dominant in recent times. Seasonal weather also brings phenomena like: Southerly busters, strong winds that quickly cool down hot summer days. East coast lows, which can cause heavy rainfall, especially in autumn and winter. Thunderstorms and even the rare occurrence of graupel (a soft hail sometimes mistaken for snow). Sydney benefits from its coastal proximity, which moderates extreme temperatures and ensures pleasant conditions for much of the year. The city averages 7.2 hours of sunshine daily and enjoys a vibrant, outdoor-friendly climate that residents and visitors alike cherish. Living in Sydney means experiencing a unique blend of natural wonders, from its iconic harbors and beaches to its rich ecological diversity. Whether youre marveling at its sandstone cliffs, strolling through eucalyptus filled parks, or enjoying a perfect summer day at Bondi, Sydneys geography and climate give its residents an enviable lifestyle.
