In this blog, I will attempt to answer your pest control questions.
Q1. What’s the difference between Pest Control and Pest Management?
It is a difference in thinking. “control” refers to killing the pest (usually with a synthetic pesticide). It does not consider the prevention of the pest problem. Pest “control” aims to solve a problem after it occurs (curative method). A pest “management” program seeks to prevent pests from establishing themselves as a problem. Yes, I call my business Logan Pest Control because most customers call us when they have a problem. I do wish more customers telephoned me to prevent pests. Prevention is better than a cure, but I hope the household pests in your homes and workplaces are not a problem. To prevent pests from invading your place, book an appointment today. I recommended a once-a-year treatment, and the best time to book for prevention is from August to December.
Q2. What’s the difference between White Ants and Termites?
The simple answer is “Nothing”. They are the same thing. Because termites look and behave a little like ants (they live in the ground with six legs), they have been nicknamed.
“White Ants”. Pest Technicians prefer to call them Termites, a unique species and not an ant at all. So amazing you need a special licence to eradicate termites professionally.
Licence. Australian timber pests require an add-on qualification to their technician’s Licence. Many people don’t realise other timber pests can damage wood, and technicians need to understand and know the various types of borers and the damage they can do.
