Pest Control Auckland: Common Pests and How to Deal with Them

The best way to control an infestation is by catching them early with regular inspections and traps. Using a mattress protector that encases the mattress and box springs can reduce the risk as these pests cannot escape them. Similarly, vacuuming regularly with a powerful truck mount hot steam extraction cleaner can help control these pests and their droppings.

The earliest signs of an infestation are the presence of itchy red and brown spotting around the beds or other furniture where these pests like to hide. These spotting can be joined by their eggs and moulted skins.

KO PEST can do 1 off treatments and provide maintenance services on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis to prevent recurrence of the problem. These maintenance services involve pre-spraying the infested areas with an antiviral disinfecting sanitise spray that kills the bed bugs and their eggs before performing the hot steam extraction and pest control treatment. This non-pesticide treatment is also safer than using harsh chemical pesticides.
