Seeing ants every day, even after spraying them? The problem may be more than the ants you can see.

🐜 Ants can keep returning when:

✓ Hidden Pheromone Trails: They leave scent trails that guide others to food and water.
✓ Easy Access Points: Tiny entry points in walls, windows, and foundations.
✓ Abundant Food Sources: Crumbs, sticky spills, and pet food are highly attractive
✓ Moisture Attractants: They need water and are drawn to leaky pipes, damp wood, or potted plants.
✓ Nearby Colonies: The main nest is often close to or even inside the structure.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼?

✓ Wipe up food and sugary spills quickly
✓ Keep food stored in sealed containers
✓ Empty rubbish bins regularly
✓ Clean along skirting boards, benches and other ant trails
✓ Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows and pipes
✓ Consider ant bait, which workers can carry back to the colony

If ants keep appearing despite cleaning and DIY treatments, finding the "nest and entry point" is often more important than simply killing the ants you see.

A cockroach doesn't need much space to hide. German cockroaches can squeeze into cracks as narrow as 1.6 mm wide—about the thickness of a credit card! That's one reason a few sightings can be difficult to trace back to their hiding place.

👀 If you've spotted even one, there are likely more hiding in the gaps you can't see. Book a professional pest inspection today! Early action stops a few sightings from turning into a full infestation.

🐀 Why Auckland Homes Can Attract Rats and Mice

Rats and mice are attracted to homes when they can easily access food, water and shelter. In Auckland, gardens, rubbish areas, compost, pet food and cluttered outdoor spaces can all provide opportunities for rodents to settle nearby.

Rodents are also good at finding their way through surprisingly small gaps. Mice can squeeze through openings of around 6 mm, while rats can enter through gaps around pipes, vents, doors and other weak points around a property.

If you notice droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds or signs of nesting, don't wait until the problem gets worse. Contact Pest Control Auckland on 0800 783-266. Our professionals can help identify how rodents are getting in and deal with the infestation at its source.

Your carpet shouldn't become a food source for carpet beetle larvae.

Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibres found in wool carpets, rugs, upholstery, clothing, and other household fabrics. Because they hide in dark, undisturbed areas, you may not notice them until you start seeing holes, thinning fibres, or damaged patches.

Taking action early can help protect your carpets and furnishings while reducing the risk of the infestation spreading throughout your home. A thorough inspection is crucial to help identify where the infestation is coming from and determine the most suitable treatment.

At Pest Control Auckland, we provide effective carpet beetle treatment using specialised pest control solutions combined with professional hot steam cleaning.

Rats are not something you should ignore in your home. They should be dealt with as soon as possible, especially if their numbers are increasing, as they can carry diseases that pose serious health risks, such as:

🔹 Leptospirosis
Spread through contact with urine from infected rodents, often via contaminated water or soil.
Symptoms: Fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, jaundice, and, in severe cases, kidney or liver damage.

🔹 Hantavirus Infection
Spread by inhaling dust contaminated with infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva.
Symptoms: Fever, muscle aches, fatigue, followed by coughing and difficulty breathing in severe cases.

🔹 Salmonellosis (Salmonella)
Spread through food or surfaces contaminated with rodent droppings.
Symptoms: Diarrhoea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting.

🔹 Rat-Bite Fever
Spread through bites, scratches, or contact with infected rodents.
Symptoms: Fever, rash, joint pain, vomiting, and muscle aches.

🔹 Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV)
Spread through exposure to urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting materials of infected rodents.
Symptoms: Fever, headache, nausea, stiff neck, and meningitis in some cases.

If you're struggling to get rid of them on your own, professional pest control is the safest and most effective solution.
