Unit Pest Control Sydney
Problem with Cockroaches, Spiders, Ants or Rodents?
We can help!
Unit pest control Sydney – Units or townhouses are considered as high-density residential areas. From a pest control perspective treating individual units is not always enough to control certain cockroach species, rodents& ants.
The American, Oriental or Australian cockroach, live and breed in roof voids, sub floor and inside the walls of buildings.
It is for this reason why just treating one or two units is not enough to eradicate the problem.
Reside in wet areas such as the kitchen, bathroom & laundry.
If you are seeing small cockroaches in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry it is important to treat the issue as soon as possible.
German cockroaches breed rapidly and can spread throughout an entire unit in a matter of weeks.
Cockroaches need warmth, water, shelter to thrive and the areas mentioned above provide all 3.
Australia is home to some of the world’s deadliest spiders such as the funnel-web and red back spider.
A spider issue in or around high-density residential properties must be taken seriously.
When spiders appear inside it often means that pest control has not been conducted externally for an extended period.
Baby spiders appearing on the ceiling often indicate that the roof cavity has not been dusted. A spider has had the ability to lay eggs and the spider-lings that are appearing are a result of this.
Ants come from external areas, usually ground floor unit blocks and townhouses would be affected by ants more often than higher levels.
Treating 1 unit for ants is not enough to stop ants coming into the unit
An external barrier spray of the common areas should be conducted with specific focus on treating ants.
PNP Pest Control use a spray that is targeted at eradicating the nest & not only surface ants.
Another pest that comes from external areas are rats and mice. If a unit has an issue with rats or mice it is important that the external areas of the building are also treated.
Rodent control in high density living areas such as unit blocks or townhouses need to be completed in alliance with NSW & Australian standards.
Baits cannot be placed in any open area where there is a risk of children, pets or wildlife can gain access to the baits.
PNP Pest control will use lockable bait stations in all our strata managed properties to ensure only the safest baiting methods are used.
Lockable rodent stations (also known as bait stations) are an effective tool for controlling rats and mice.
They are specifically designed to prevent unauthorised access to baits, to stop the bait spilling out, ‘crumbs’ being carried away or baits being pulled out by mice and rats.
Recommendations
It is highly recommended that any property that is having an issue with large cockroaches & spiders conduct a spray to the common areas.
Ensuring the following areas area treated:
- Roof cavity
- Sub floor
- Internal common areas
- External common areas
Pest Control for large cockroaches & spiders in a unit block or townhouse complex is recommended to be completed on a 4-6 monthly basis.

Bee Swarm Sydney
/0 Comments/in Bee Pest Control, Commercial Pest Control, Informational, Real Estate Pest Control, Residential Pest Control /by PnPBee Swarm Sydney
What to do when bees swarm?
Bee Swarm Sydney – When you find bees swarming it can be a scary sight, more so when bees are trying to come inside.
Bees can enter homes through vents, chimneys, doors, gaps under the door or through windows.
It is important to mention that bee allergies can be life threatening. It is important to take safety measures to protect yourself around a swarm.
Why Do Bees Swarm?
Swarming is a natural part of a bees reproductive life. Swarms often occur from September through to December.
A rise in temperature, ab abundance of nectar and pollen stimulate the colony to begin reproduction.
When the size of a bee colony increases overcrowding occurs, thus forcing the bees to search for a new home.
What Time Do Bees Swarm?
Bees will often emerge from their hives and begin to swarm on warm days between 11am -2pm.
How Long Do Bees Swarm For?
A swarm may be visible between 1-2 hours and in some cases can linger for a few days.
Are Bee Swarms Dangerous?
Bee swarms are not usually aggressive, however if the swarm is provoked or aggravated they will become defensive.
The longer a swarm is present the more defensive they will become.

Flea Treatments Sydney – How Does the Flea Treatment Work?
We use two products for treating fleas. We add a product called IGR. The IGR breaks the flea cycle by rendering the fleas sterile. It is important to break the growth cycle of the fleas.
IGR – Insect Growth Regulator absorbs into the eggs and the young are born sterile, which means male fleas are unable to reproduce. With the nymph stage, it stops the nymphs from forming a new skin, so once they shed their skin they are unable to produce new skin killing them.
Wait 3-4 weeks before getting a second treatment.

How Should I prepare my house for pest control?
Pets

Externally
What Should I Expect After a Flea Treatment?
A follow-up treatment may be required in 3-4 weeks.
You should continue to vacuum daily after the day of treatment as this will assist the eggs hatching and the pupae being released from their eggs.
It is common to continue to see fleas and be bitten for up to 3 weeks after the treatment.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
If you have pets, it is essential to prevent fleas from becoming established in carpets and bedding:

for parents & caretakers
Kids Corner by PNP Pest Control – The insect world can be fascinating and exciting for young children. In the digital age that we live in, pushing our kids to go outside has become a real battle. With devices glued in our children’s hands, and games such as Fortnite our children’s outdoor time has been reduced dramatically.
The great outdoors opens up a world of wonder, especially for young children. However in saying this, it can also be a scary when insects bite!
As adults we understand the dangers that could be lurking in our gardens (the red back spider, funnel web spider, the Sydney trapdoor spider) just to name a few.
The problem is most kids do not have a sense of fear, nor do they understand that some of these insects can make you very sick or God forbid even kill you.
While some insects your children may be harmless, what if they come across a red back spider?
What if something was to sting them or bite them?
It is because of these fears and the excitement that come across kids faces when they see a new insect, we have decided to dedicate a section of our blog to young explorers called Kids Corner
We aim that this section will be beneficial, knowledgeable and interactive for our insect hunters.
If your kids have found something in your garden take a photo and email it to us at info@pppestcontrol.com.au and we will feature your image on our website.
If you would like to see a particular insect covered leave us a comment with your request.

School Pest Control Sydney
/0 Comments/in Commercial Pest Control, School Pest Control /by PnPSchool Pest Control Sydney
Pest issues in schools should not be taken lightly, considering you have a large group of children in relatively small areas. Young children are more susceptible to diseases that can be carried by certain pests. Pest Control in schools is a serious matter, considering you have an abundant about of food being consumed on the school grounds daily.
The fact that recess and lunch are eaten either inside (for wet weather days) and around the school grounds means that there is a high chance of spillages, food & crumbs falling onto the ground. Due to this, there is an increased risk of pests becoming attracted to these areas.

Pest Control for Sydney Supermarkets
Customers are always on the look out for a clean and pest free supermarket to shop and store owners should be aware that it is essential to ensure their supermarket is pest-free.
PNP Pest Control understands the health and safety expectations when it comes to supermarket pest control.
Pests such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, rats, mice & flies can have a massive impact not just on customers but also on the products you are offering for sale in supermarket.
If a customer comes across a rat or mouse in your store, you can be sure they will frantically run away and most likely never return to your store again.
As rats and mice need to constantly gnaw through objects your stock is at risk of being chewed open. There is also the risk of contamination from their urine and droppings.
Trust PNP Pest Control Sydney

PNP pest Control will take the time to carefully inspect your facility and look for areas where pests could be gaining access into your supermarket

It is a well-known fact that pests transmit diseases, cause health issues such as skin irritations, asthma, bites etc. As previously mentioned pest infestations can cause consumer loss, complaints, financial losses and damage to buildings and equipment.
Ongoing pest control programs can prevent pests becoming a problem for your staff and clients.
It is easier and cost effective to have preventative pest control measures in place to prevent infestations rather than just treating a pest issue when it occurs.
Commercial pest prevention tips
For pest control to be effective, there needs to be open communication between the pest control technician and the business owner with each working hand in hand to ensure any advice is taken on board.
When you are advised to make changes to the structure of your building, such as sealing up entrance points or making sure a certain area is cleaned thoroughly these instructions should be followed as by not doing so, you could be inviting pests into your premises.
