🕷️ REDBACK SPIDERS — WOULD YOU RECOGNISE THEIR WEBS?

Redbacks are often hiding much closer than you think, including in places your family uses every day.

Unlike the neat, circular webs you see in gardens, redback webs are messy, tangled and often hidden close to the ground.

🔎 Common hiding spots include:
• Under outdoor chairs, tables and lounges
• Beneath bin rims and handles
• Around garden sheds and stored items
• Along fence lines and retaining walls
• Inside drains and beneath dense foliage

⚠️ Here’s what to watch for: Strong, irregular strands of webbing stretching between surfaces, sometimes with small, round egg sacs nearby.

You might spot the web without ever seeing the spider.

📸 Take a close look at our photos. These are the warning signs worth recognising around your own home.

Avoid reaching into suspected redback harbourage areas, particularly around outdoor furniture used by children.

On our previous treatment at this property, the client decided to add rodent treatment as a preventative measure.

When we returned for their next service, we asked whether they’d noticed any rodent activity between visits. They hadn’t — no noises in the roof, no sightings and nothing that had given them any reason to think rodents had been around.

But when we inspected the two lockable rodent stations we had installed — one externally and one in the roof cavity — we found a large amount of bait had been consumed from both.

So while the client hadn’t noticed any activity, rodents had clearly been interacting with the stations between services.

That’s one of the benefits of having rodent control in place preventatively. You’re not waiting until you hear scratching in the roof or find droppings inside the home before responding.

In this case, the stations were already in position and doing their job before the client even knew there had been activity.

For properties where rodent pressure is a concern, RodentGuard™ can be added alongside general pest management so we can monitor activity between visits and respond to what the stations are telling us.

Sometimes, an old termite station can be more useful than a new one.

During a recent termite treatment in Wollongong, we identified an active termite feeding route within the home and installed a bait station directly into their path.

But there was a reason we chose this particular station.

Rather than using a brand-new station, we intentionally reused a station from a previous successful baiting. The station still contained termite mudding and colony-associated chemical cues from previous activity.

Those existing pheromones can help make the station feel like an established feeding environment rather than a completely foreign object — encouraging termites to enter and begin interacting with the bait sooner.

We also carefully used bait material around the station to minimise exposed air gaps and disturbance around the feeding area, creating a more enclosed environment for the termites to move into and feed.

It’s a small technical detail, but termite baiting is often about exactly that:

Understanding how termites behave, preserving their feeding activity and making it as easy as possible for them to accept the bait.

Once feeding is established, the station can then be monitored and replenished as the treatment progresses.

Termite management isn’t just about putting bait down. It’s about knowing where, when and how to introduce it.

Cockroaches with that white band around the outside - they’re Australian cockroaches.
You’ll typically find these guys around decaying timber, stored timber or timber fences and generally mind their own business.
Unlike the large American cockroach, they won’t take flight and b-line it for your face.

Hang tight guys, they’ll move on soon enough

This has to be one of the most rewarding moments when it comes to termites. Between environmental impacts that reduce feeding such as ant activity that attack active feeding sites, or other species of termites that cannibalise and take over, prolonging the baiting process by months, it is always a great moment when you have visual confirmation of colony elimination.
Eradication via bait can range from a few months, up to 9 months, but baiting always provides that peace of mind that the whole colony is dead.

Always nice to see and hear clients feedback ☺️
