So You Have A Pest Problem?
If you live in Sydney and you think you have any of the following common household pests in or around your home, call us to discuss your problem. We’ll give you the option of either a targeted or general pest control treatment.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures. They rest during the day in cracks and crevices before coming out at night. If you’re seeing any cockroaches in your home during the day or before you go turn off the lights at night, there’s likely to be plenty more lurking and running around after dark!

Bed Bugs
Often the first sign of bed bugs is spots of blood on your sheets where these pests have pierced your skin to enjoy a meal. Alternatively, you may notice evidence of bed bug droppings.
Bed bugs bite and they are also prolific breeders. An adult female bed bug can lay between 200 and 500 eggs a year. Bed bugs are nocturnal and spend their days hiding in cracks and crevices in and around your bed before coming out at night.

- Implementation — Our team carries out the necessary procedures. We apply the chosen treatments, set up preventative measures and address any identified vulnerabilities that could contribute to future infestations.
- Evaluation and Monitoring — After the initial treatment, we monitor the treated areas for any signs of pest activity, conduct follow-up visits if necessary and make adjustments to the treatment plan to ensure long-term control and prevention.
6 Preventive Measures That Can Help You Avoid Pests at Home
Conducting regular home pest inspections is a proactive way to identify and address potential pest issues before they become major problems. Here at Forensic Pest Control, we recommend having a property inspection and general home pest control treatment carried out at least every 6 – 12 months to ensure a pest-free environment for you and your family.
Here’s what you can do to prevent pests from encroaching on your home or property:
Step 1: Start with Exterior Inspection
Begin by examining the exterior of your home. Look for any visible cracks or gaps in the foundation, walls or windows that pests can use as entry points. Check for signs of nests, droppings or chew marks near doors, windows and utility entrances. Trim bushes and trees away from the house to eliminate potential pathways for pests.
Step 2: Inspect Doors and Windows
Thoroughly inspect all doors and windows for gaps, broken seals or damaged screens. These areas are common entry points for pests such as ants, flies and spiders. Ensure all screens are intact and fit tightly, preventing pests from sneaking inside.
Step 3: Assess Indoor Areas
Move indoors and carefully inspect all rooms, paying close attention to areas where food is stored or prepared. Check for signs of pest activity, such as droppings, chewed packaging or gnaw marks on furniture and baseboards. Look for cracks in walls, flooring or ceilings that may serve as hiding spots for pests.
Step 4: Examine Plumbing and Utility Areas
Pests are often attracted to moisture-rich environments, so thoroughly inspect plumbing areas, including under sinks and around pipes. Look for leaks, standing water or dampness that could attract pests like cockroaches or silverfish. Check utility areas, such as the basement or attic, for signs of nesting or damage caused by rodents.
Step 5: Don’t Forget the Garage and Outdoor Spaces
Pests can also find their way into your garage or outdoor spaces. Inspect these areas for any signs of pest activity, including droppings, nests or damage to stored items. Keep the garage clean and clutter-free to minimise hiding spots for pests.
Step 6: Ensure That Pests Have Nowhere to Go
Seal any cracks or gaps found during the inspection, install door sweeps and repair damaged screens. Keep food stored in airtight containers, promptly clean up spills and maintain proper sanitation in and around your home.
