Pest Control Services in Armstrong Creek
Most homeowners in Armstrong Creek opt for a once-a-year pest control treatment. This general pest treatment covers the common crawling pests such as spiders, large cockroaches, ants, earwigs and millipedes, and comes with a 6-month warranty.
However, as much of Armstrong Creek consists of newly built homes, annual termite inspections are essential to maintain the warranty on any termite protection system installed.
Homeowners can combine their annual termite inspections and general pest treatment into the same services for added convenience and a discount. If your home does not have a termite inspection system in place, homeowners are wise to consider a termite treatment to provide the long-term protection from termites.
For businesses in Armstrong Creek, Geelong Pest Control can provide regular commercial pest control service plans, tailored to your needs.
Key Pests in Armstrong Creek
Armstrong Creek has warm summers and cooler winters, but rarely going below freezing at night. Rainfall is fairly consistent throughout the year and all though the winter months tend to be slightly wetter, November is the wettest month. The regular moisture provides a good environment for pests, with peak numbers during the summer with the warmer temperatures.
The common pests in Armstrong Creek are the typical crawling pests, especially spiders, ants and cockroaches, with rodents becoming a problem during the colder months. With the wetlands to the east, mosquitoes can also be a problem, particularly in the summer. Like most of Australia, termites are present and are an ongoing concern for homeowners.
Termite Inspection Armstrong Creek
Termites represent a significant threat to buildings in Armstrong Creek. Termites are attracted to moisture, so the threat increases if there are leaks in or around the building, or the gardens next to the building are regularly watered. Annual termite inspections are the minimum essential action homeowners should take to protect their home. Not only will the inspect identify areas of termite activity and damage on the property but it will identify conditions or issues that may make a termite attack more likely.
Termite treatment Armstrong Creek
Termite treatments for long term protection of buildings are strongly recommended. Although there are two types of termite treatment – soil treatments and termite baiting systems – as a general rule, Geelong Pest Control recommend termiticide treatments to the soil around and under homes in Armstrong Creek as it provides the best value treatment and long-lasting protection.
