What kind of pest is that? - how to identify?

To help with specific pest identification and treatment options - refer to the Crawling Insect Pests or Flying Insect Pests identification pages. Or check here for Rodents or Birds or Other Pests.

Some pests can be present year-round, and some pests are more active in different seasons or environments. Check our seasonal pest identifier to ensure you are equiped to eliminate pest problems before they become a big problem.

If you are having issues with pest control and results are not as you expected, there is often many reasons this can be happening. Sometimes pests are entering properties from well outside your control zone, other times we recommend a combination of products for effective control, capture and kill.

Some pests may be trap-wary or even desensitised to certain treatments and products. In these cases think about different approach, lures options.

Seasonal climate variations, unclean, untidy, unkempt or damp environments can optimise breeding conditions and render some treatments ineffective due to persistent breeding etc. Suggest to clean away all mess before treatments.

Incorrect pest identification is also an area where treatments can be rendered ineffective. We recommend our customers take care to identify the specific pest and problem (what is causing the issue), see if cleaning or drying out environments will help, identify the full scale (how many) and source of your pest problem, and make sure before applying the DIY solution you have a plan of approach.

Also it is not uncommon for treatments to require 'repeat applications' over several weeks or months to stamp out your problem.

If your pest problem is persistent - it may be time to contact a professional pest controller for assistance.
