]]> Funnelweb spiders are active at the moment on the slopes of Mount Cootha in Brisbane. Whilst not the feared SYDNEY FUNNELWEB, our own Queensland variety can still give a nasty bite if confronted. Interestingly, their nesting habits mean that due to their elusive lifestyles, householders living in affected suburbs such as Chapel Hill are usually unaware of their presence. Insecticide treatments such as installation of termiticide soil treatments and barriers often make them appear. They inhabit wet,cool rain forest locations and gardens, living in a tunnel in the ground. When affected by insecticides, they often come out of their nest tunnel to escape the toxic environment.

]]> Recent heavy rain and a cold snap has led to a rat plague in Brisbane and Ipswich. Whilst your local pest controller is trained to identify a rat infestation and possible causes, there are some easy steps you can take immediately. Here are some of them….

RATS AND MICE  can’t tolerate peppermint. Try spraying peppermint oil in a cheap one litre spray bottle to areas you have seen the rats or mice. Or spray the oil on a flat surface to create a mote surrounding any foodstuffs to be protected.

Traps have been used for many years and are usually effective in reducing the population. They need to be serviced and reset on a regular basis making this method time-consuming and messy.

The best course of action is to contact your pest controller as soon as rats or mice are suspected. Your pest controller, as mentioned, possesses a much wider experience and will guide you through the most effective solution for your circumstances.
