Common Pests in Dubbo
Termites

Termites are often found destroying homes in Dubbo. It is best to perform termite inspections every 3 to 12 months on your property. The actual frequency depends on the amount of wood in your home as well as whether there have been past issues with termites.

Termite colonies often hide out in timber wall frames and roofs, devouring frames made of timber and wood or cellulose components and furniture in and around the home. A Flick expert can perform a termite inspection and then treat your home accordingly.

We recommend treating your property with a liquid perimeter treatment to prevent termite problems from getting out of hand. If flooding occurs, the treatment should be reapplied to ensure the home remains protected.

When buying property, it is wise to perform a pest inspection. A professionally-conducted termite inspection by one of our specialists could prevent thousands of dollars’ worth of damage. The structural damage that termite infestations can cause is costly to repair if not detected at an early stage.

Possum Removal

Possums are adorable to look at, but not to live with, so beware if they decide to take up residence on your property. Their droppings and urine can be hazardous to health, and they are also often responsible for nibbling through electrical wiring, which is an expensive problem to fix.

As native animals, these critters are protected under the Nature Conservation Act. Harm them in any way or keep them without consent from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and you could find yourself in breach of the regulations and forced to pay big fines. Flick's licensed pest managers can visit your property, install a trap on the roof of your home and take the possum captive.

Spiders

The Redback spider is one of Dubbo's most feared pests. A spider control treatment can be administered to your home by our team to keep these venomous spiders out.

A Flick technician will treat danger spots in your home including cracks and crevices, external window areas, doorways, lighting, around down pipes and under seating. This keeps the spider population at bay and can save your home from a spider invasion.

Cockroaches

American and Australian cockroach varieties are a common sight in Dubbo, as are smaller German cockroaches, which are notorious for invading electrical appliances. Cockroach droppings can spread diseases and irritate those with allergies or asthma. Without a proper fumigation treatment, it is exceedingly difficult to eradicate cockroaches.

Here at Flick, we use an effective combination of low toxic formulations of pesticide fumigation and cockroach bait gels, which offer a safe long term method for dealing with cockroach infestations.

Rats & Mice

Rats and mice are no strangers to the residents of Dubbo. These critters are often found hiding out in wall cavities and roofs of homes. The damage and destruction rats can cause is considerable as they chew their way through in search of food and nesting areas, leaving behind droppings that spread disease.

Those who live close to restaurants or other businesses dealing with food suffer from a higher risk of rat infestations.

Flick's Dubbo pest control team saves houses from rat infestations and also provides commercial rodent control for restaurants and like businesses.
