You will come across troublesome insects and animals no matter where you go. If you live in Australia or have recently relocated to Australia, then the pests you will come across are ants, termites, bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, wasps, millipedes, possums, rodents, spiders, snakes and birds. In addition to being bothersome, these pests cause damages to health and properties amounting to millions of dollars every year. Some of them are poisonous, such as snakes and spiders. Some destroy properties, such as termites, rodents and possums. Some are a risk to health because of the diseases they carry, such as fleas, cockroaches, possums and rodents. Some pilfer foods and crops worth many millions of dollars every year, such as rats, mice and birds.

In terms of damage to health and properties, possibly the most damaging pests in Australia are termites. Termites are ant-like insects that live in large colonies of millions of individuals. They like to live in trees and under the ground where they construct complicated structures with tunnels, ventilators, food chambers and breeding chambers. The trouble begins when they decide to make their home in the walls and under the floors of a house. These little insects are non-stop eaters and if left to their devices, they can eat a house completely and causes it to crumble within a few years. When you find termites in your house, the only remedy is to get professional help from pest control companies.

Rodents may be as much destructive as termites, if not more. Rats and mice are the most destructive rodents. Rats and mice are not known to be aggressive and do not normally confront people. They are also not poisonous. However, they steal food from the kitchen and crops from the fields. They also chew clothes, suitcases, wooden cabinets, cupboards, doors and windows. But the biggest concern is the diseases they carry. Rats and mice are dirty animals and in the past, they have been responsible for millions of human deaths, such as the Black Death that decimated a hundred million people in Europe in the mid-14th century. Being clever and resilient, these animals are not easy to eradicate.

Other destructive pests in Australia include opossums that have begun living in the cavities, attics and roofs of homes; red foxes that prey on native animals and domestic livestock; European rabbits that chomp vegetables and crops, and destroy the land; and snakes whose bite can kill people. The traditional method of getting rid of these pests is to hunt, poison or trap them. However, some native animals like the possums are protected by law in Australia. It is a crime to trap and remove possums in Queensland.

Pest control companies in Australia use structured pest control techniques that are eco-friendly, effective, humane and tailored to the local environment. These techniques involve evaluating the degree of infestation, formulating the plan, monitoring of infested area to pinpoint the exact spot of infestation and targeting the pests to eliminate or remove them. Some of the techniques are concerned more with erecting a barrier than eliminating or removing them.
