Flying Insects & Pests
Bees
Honey bees were introduced to Australia by early settlers for a good supply of honey, but naturally a few escaped. Now they are found throughout Australia. Their size is about 1.3mm-1.6 mm and have very distinct yellow and black markings.
The honey bee defends its nests very aggressively and if you are stung, it is fatal to the bee, as the stinger pulls out the bee’s lower abdomen leaving the venom gland pumping in the victim. This is why they are a danger and a pest to humans: the sting cause local pain and swelling. Nests are usually found undercover or in cavities. Increased activity in a specific area or a concentration of bees to one area often means there is a nest nearby.

Clothes Moths
Discovering an infestation of clothes moths usually occurs too late - once you find a hole in a garment. However you if you see an adult moth flying about in your home, it could be time to check the closet. Moths like to live in dark spaces like closets and infest items like clothing and upholstery made of animal-based materials. Their larvae eat the fabrics and can leave stains from vomit and feces. A large population of moths in the home can become costly. If you suspect there’s moths in your home talk to our trained technicians about prevention methods and a treatment plan for your home.
Flies
Few pests are more annoying than flies. More than a nuisance, flies pose a serious risk to health, as the first responders to rotting food, especially meat. Fly infestations can spread diseases like Salmonella and E. Coli as they buzz from rotting matter, to surfaces to food, carrying their germs with them. Small infestations can quickly become serious problems with a rapid germination period, of sometimes, only seven days. If you’re experiencing more flies than usual, call Competitive Pest Services to inspect your property for a potential infestation and quick action plan to contain and remove the threat.
Mosquitoes
The signs of a mosquito infestation are annoying and clear - the high pitched buzzing and their bites. Only the females bite, for a blood meal to feed the eggs they’re about to lay. The immature stages of mosquitoes can be found in standing, preferably stagnant water. Small pools around the garden in watering dishes, containerised plants and many other places you may not be looking. Some people can have differing reactions to bites, from mild to intense inflammation. There are some measures you can take around the home to prevent mosquitoes however a professional inspection by our technicians can help with continued problems.
Wasps
The common paper wasps are found all across southern mainland Australia from Southern Queensland, through New South Wales, down into Victoria and across to South Australia. They are 10-15mm long and will sometimes appear yellow in or red in colour. The wasp is a social insect and will usually have colonies of many individuals. They make their ‘paper’ nests by chewing nectar and using their saliva to form the nest.
The wasp is a beneficial insect around the home, they help control caterpillars, but they become extremely aggressive when approached or if their nest is disturbed. They can deliver a painful sting and the nests should be avoided during the day. Contact us if you have problems with wasps and our professional technicians will take care of it for you.
