pests

Pests are prevalent throughout the year and are capable of surviving in adverse climatic conditions. It is important to note that you may be inadvertently accommodating and inviting unwanted guests into your home. Geelong Pest Control not only provides a solution for your current pest activity but also feels it is important to educate you, the homeowner, on ways to limit future pest reinfestation.

(2) get comfortable and take over your whole home! They take over by entering wall cavities, subfloors or roof cavities and enter through any crack or crevice and can even short out your electrical devices including your main power!

Carpet Moths

Despite their tiny size, carpet moths can cause a lot of damage within the home. Carpet moths are attracted to dust and natural fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere as these materials are high in keratin producing the perfect sustenance for carpet moth larvae, of which are responsible for destroying your carpets, clothing and insulation. GPC treat for carpet moths by applying a combination of products to your roof cavity, carpeted areas and other affected areas such as wardrobes and floor rugs. The treatment works to eliminate the adult cycle upon application and an insect growth regulator targets unhatched eggs and disrupts the ability to mature and reproduce.

Possum

Brush Tail and Ring Tail Possums are a very docile native animal to Australia. Possums are a protected species in Australia and need to be handled with great care.

Geelong Pest Control will only control possums when they enter the dwelling, such as roof voids or subfloors. Our approach is to conduct a full site inspection, looking for entry points, we will then proof all but one entry point and fasten a one way door to allow the possum to leave, then when the door closes behind them and you hear no noises for at least a few days, we will return and block that entry point. We have other methods which are also highly effective and safe for the possum.
