It is very common in any home in the Brisbane area to see an occasional bug or insect in the home. They may have come in when someone opened a door or a window or even hitched a ride into the house on flowers or a plant.
However, these visits from insects may not be as simple as a single random event. Homeowners in the Brisbane area need to be on the lookout for signs of insect or pest infestations that may be much more significant than what they appear.
Calling professional pest control Brisbane before insects or pests are established in the home is always the best option. This reduces the potential damage to the home and also helps to reduce the cost of the pest removal process.
Signs of a Problem
The following signs are indications of insect and pest presence in a home. Keep in mind, the pest control service can identify the specific insect and species and determine the most effective treatment and prevention method.
- Sawdust around the edges of the room – what looks like sawdust may be termite fecal material. Any signs of this around the edges of the floor or by windows is a sign of a significant problem.
- Dead bugs or bug parts – dead bugs, shed wings, or what looks like ground pepper on countertops, floors, or in closets and on shelves can be a sign of an active infestation.
- Shredded paper or cardboard containers – any type of shredding of containers used to store food is a clear indication of insect activity.
- Oily smears on surfaces – cockroaches leave streaky markings on any surface where they crawl. As they are typically only active in the dark, the infestation can go on for a long period of time before the homeowner spots one live.
- Calling in an exterminator when there is any repeated pattern of unusual signs in the home is the best option.
