Termites - Termites are tiny crawling insects that eat wood. Termites resemble ants and are white in colour. They like to burrow into wood crevices or hide within wooden beams, walls, or furniture. For this reason, termites can go unnoticed for a long time until you probe or lift wood for hollow spots. People are often unaware they even have termites until they have a swarm or there are already damages to your property. Such damages result in billions of dollars every year, and property owners spend just as much on termite treatment and prevention.

Cockroaches - Cockroaches are a type of pest that is found all over the world. Cockroaches are incredibly resourceful and resilient. They can live anywhere; they eat anything, and they breed under almost any condition. Even in the cleanest homes, cockroaches can exist. They find food and water almost anywhere, and they will find a way into your property by crawling through doors, windows, and pipes. They also enter through holes or cracks or by hitching a ride in any object you bring into your space, like bags, packages, etc. 

Spiders - Spiders are small eight-legged arachnids that feed on insects. They’re also some of the most prevalent pests found in Australian properties. They usually build webs in dark, untouched corners of rooms. Because they prey on other insects, they aren’t the worst pests to have around. However, they are still unwelcome in our homes and offices. Not only are their webs unsightly and dirty, but they also give people a good scare. Arachnophobia, or fear of spiders, is one of the most common phobias in the world. 

Rats - Rats are a kind of medium-sized rodents with long tails. Rats gnaw on practically any property fixture; they can damage plastic and wood, sometimes even weaker metals and concrete. They are known to gnaw through pipes and wirings, causing water leakage, electricity disruptions, and sometimes, even fires. Rats eat practically anything, and they carry disease with them. For these reasons, rats are some of the most destructive pests to have, and they cost billions of dollars in property damages every year.

Bed Bugs - Bed bugs are small, brown parasites that feed on animal or human blood. Bed bugs usually hide in mattresses, headboards, or bed frames hence their name. They bite people at night when they sleep to drink blood, during which they become engorged. After feeding, bed bugs skitter away, leaving behind itchy welts on the skin. Because bed bugs are tiny and have flat bodies, they can fit into the smallest holes and can go unnoticed for a long time.
