Pest Control Services in Lara

Most homeowners in Lara opt for a once-a-year pest control treatment. Although many customers call it a “spider spray”, it covers a number of crawling insect pests. For homeowners, annual termite inspections are a must and homeowners can combine their pest treatment with their termite inspection in the same services for added convenience and a discount. As termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance, homeowners are wise to consider a termite treatment to provide the long-term protection from termites.

For businesses in Lara, Geelong Pest Control can provide regular commercial pest control service plans, tailored to your needs.

Key Pests in Lara

The region is one of the driest in southern Victoria due to the rain shadow created by the Otway Ranges, with Lara receiving just over 400 mm of rain each year. (Melbourne has an average rainfall of 649 mm). As a general rule pests love moisture, so the drier conditions do impact the pest pressure in the area.

The common pests in Lara are spiders, ants and cockroaches, with rodents becoming a problem during the colder months. European wasps can also be a serious safety concern, especially in Autumn when their nests reach their maximum size. Like most of Australia, termites are present and are an ongoing concern for homeowners.

Most homeowners opt for a once a year general pest control treatment, which covers all the main crawling and comes with a 6-month warranty. We also offer a range of specialist pest control treatments if you have a specific pest problem or a major infestation.

Termite Inspections and Termite Treatments

Although conditions are generally dry in Lara and termites prefer lots of moisture, they still a threat to buildings in Lara, even more so if there are leaks around the building or gardens that are regularly watered. Annual termite inspections are essential and termite treatments for long term protection are strongly recommended.

Insecticide treatments to the soil to create a “termite barrier” are the recommended termite treatment for most properties, as the provide the best value treatment and long-lasting protection. In certain circumstances (due to soil type or building construction) termite monitoring and baiting systems may be a suitable alternative.

As always geelong pest control has done a fantastic job treating my house and property for those unwanted creepy crawlers that we don’t want coming in. Luke was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the products they use and how effective and beneficial they are was astounding. Knowing exactly what product to use to help keep my pets and indoor plants safe was reassuring. Luke’s customer service is nothing but fantastic, such a friendly person that even my little boy felt comfortable chatting with him. Thanks again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never take the time to write a review but the service we have recieved from Rylan and the team has been brilliant. We used two other companies for the same issue before we used Geelong Pest Control and they were useless in comparison and didn't resolve the issue we were having. The communication, knowledge and follow up to ensure the treatment was successful has been excellent. We won't use anyone else!
