G’day folks, Glenn Mott from Mount Lawley Pest Control here. As we slip into autumn in Perth, it’s time to think about those annoying bugs that might be looking for a cozy spot to hunker down for the cooler months.
Now, Perth’s autumn can be a bit unpredictable. We might have some warm days followed by chilly nights, and that’s when the trouble starts. Here’s the lowdown on what you need to watch out for:
- Cockroaches: These sneaky blighters are always looking for warmth and moisture. With the change in weather, they’ll be seeking shelter indoors. Look for cracks and crevices around your home, and make sure to seal them up tight.
- Ants: Autumn is prime time for ant invasions, especially those pesky Argentine ants. They’ll be foraging for food and water, so keep your kitchen spotless and any sugary spills cleaned up immediately.
- Rodents: Mice and rats will be searching for warm nesting sites. Inspect your roof and walls for any potential entry points, and keep your food stored securely in airtight containers.
- Termites: While termite activity slows down in cooler weather, it’s still important to be vigilant. Keep an eye out for mud tubes on your walls and around your home’s foundation.
Here’s what you can do to protect your home:
- Regular Inspections: Conduct thorough inspections of your home, both inside and out, looking for any signs of pest activity.
- Proper Sanitation: Keep your kitchen and other areas clean and free of food crumbs and spills.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal any cracks and crevices around your home’s foundation, windows, and doors.
