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?

We are now in December, and summer has hit Sydney with intensity. The last two weeks have been defined by high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, often followed by late afternoon thunderstorms. This mix of heat and sudden moisture has triggered a surge in pest activity across the North Shore and Hills District. The most concerning and common been flying termites. (swarmers, alates) I would have to say the most amount of swarms I have seen for many years. There are many orb spiders in gardens this year compared to the last five years.

Current Alerts:
1. Termite Swarms: The humid evenings following rain are perfect conditions for termites to fly (swarm). If you see flying insects around your lights at dusk, these may be termites looking to start new colonies.
2. Ants moving indoors: The recent storms and hot weather drive ants out of the wet and hot ground and into dry cooler kitchens.
3. Cockroaches: Large American and German cockroaches thrive in this humid December weather and are currently very active.

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.
