Some of the pests you should know about
Here is some information about some of household pests you may encounter:
Fleas
Finding out you have fleas in your home can be annoying to say the least. Fleas are a common problem to both humans and animals, and are known to transmit diseases. Click here for more information on fleas.
Spiders
Most spiders will only bite humans in self-defense, and few produce worse effects than a mosquito bite or bee-sting. Most of those with medically serious bites, such as recluse spiders and widow spiders, are shy and bite only when they feel threatened, although this can easily arise by accident.

Rodents
The three major pest species of rodents are the Norway rat, the roof rat, and the house mouse. These rodents are known as commensal pests, which describes their ability to successfully cohabit with man. They are common in the main population centres in Australia and most countries throughout the world. According to the CSIRO about 10% of rodent species are significant pests in urban and agricultural environments. Click here for more information on rodents.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are night-active insects and most live in damp places; most are omnivorous scavengers. They are worldwide in distribution. Cockroaches are a common pest in urban area, and frequently hide in kitchen areas so they can feed off food spills. Click here for more information on cockroaches.

Birds
Bird control is important because pest birds can create health-related problems through their feces, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. Bird droppings may also cause damage to property and equipment. Click here for more information on birds.
Bees and Wasps
Bees and wasps cause painful stings by injecting venom through a dart–like needle in their tails. While bees leave their darts behind, stuck in your skin and subsequently die, wasps do not lose their dart, and do not die after the sting therefore are able to sting repeatedly.
