Pest Management

Termites are silent, persistent and well hidden, which is why a Trelona termite monitoring system is designed to work where termites naturally travel: underground.

For most Australian homes, a professional termite inspection should be carried out at least once every 12 months. This is the general benchmark recommended under Australian Standard AS 3660.2 for termite management in and around existing buildings. However, some properties need to be checked more often, depending on the level of risk.

Seeing one mouse in your home might not seem like a big deal. It’s easy to think, “it’s only one,” especially if it disappears quickly behind the fridge, under a cupboard or into the shed. But when it comes to mice, one sighting can be a warning sign of a much bigger problem.

Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Whether you’re purchasing your next family home, investment property, or preparing to sell, a professional building and pest inspection can give you clarity before contracts are signed and emotions take over.

When mice appear around the home, the first reaction for many people is to grab a packet of bait or traps from the supermarket. While DIY mouse control products can sometimes reduce visible activity, they often don’t solve the bigger issue: why mice are getting into your property in the first place.

A professional pest spray is one of the most effective ways to protect your home, but a little preparation can help you get the best result. Knowing what to do before, during, and after the treatment can make the process smoother, safer, and more effective.

Mice might look small, but they can cause big problems inside the home. From chewing wires and insulation to contaminating food and leaving droppings through cupboards, a mouse problem is something most homeowners want to avoid. The good news is that a few simple habits can make your home far less attractive to them.

Fleas can turn a calm home into an itchy, stressful one—fast. And even if you’ve treated your pet, fleas often keep coming back because most of the problem isn’t on the animal. It’s in your home and yard. Here’s how to spot fleas early, treat them properly, and stop re-infestation for good.

Buying a home is exciting—but pests don’t care how good the kitchen looks. A pre-purchase pest inspection gives you a clear picture of what’s happening behind the scenes, so you can avoid nasty (and expensive) surprises after settlement.

Farm sheds and workshops are essential working spaces—but they’re also prime real estate for pests. With shelter, warmth, and easy access to food, sheds can quickly attract rodents, insects, and birds that damage equipment, contaminate feed, and create costly clean-ups. The good news? A few smart prevention steps can make a big difference.

Summer in the Central West NSW means long days, warm nights—and a sharp increase in pest activity. As temperatures rise, insects and rodents become more active, breeding cycles speed up, and homes provide the perfect shelter, food, and moisture they’re looking for. Knowing what’s active now (and acting early) can save you a lot of stress and damage later in the season.

When pests show up, it’s tempting to reach for a quick DIY fix you’ve seen online or on a late-night ad. Ultrasonic plug-ins, vinegar sprays, DIY “bug bombs” – they all promise fast, easy results. The reality is very different. In many cases, these options don’t solve the problem and can even make it worse. Here are some common DIY pest myths – and what actually works instead.

When pests move into your home, they don’t just stroll through the front door with a suitcase. They slip in quietly through the small gaps and hidden corners we rarely think about. Here are the top 5 places pests sneak into a home – and what to watch for.
