Common Household Pests Covered by General Pest Control

Cockroach Species and Infestations

German Cockroaches (Blattella germanica) The most problematic indoor cockroach species, German cockroaches infest kitchens, bathrooms, and food preparation areas. These small (10-15mm) light brown cockroaches with distinctive dark parallel stripes reproduce rapidly, with populations exploding from minor infestations to severe problems within weeks. German cockroaches contaminate food, spread pathogens including Salmonella and E. coli, and trigger asthma and allergies through accumulated allergens (health risks).

American Cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) Large reddish-brown cockroaches (35-40mm) preferring damp environments including drains, sewers, subfloors, and roof voids. American cockroaches enter buildings through drainage systems, utility penetrations, and structural gaps, establishing populations in basements, laundries, and bathroom areas.

Australian Cockroaches (Periplaneta australasiae) Similar to American cockroaches but with distinctive yellow markings on thorax and wing edges. These outdoor-preferring cockroaches inhabit gardens, mulch, leaf litter, and compost areas, entering buildings seeking food, water, and shelter during hot, dry conditions.

Spider Infestations and Dangerous Species

Sydney Funnel-Web Spiders (Atrax robustus) Australia’s most dangerous spider species, male Sydney funnel-webs pose serious envenomation risks to humans, particularly children and pets. These aggressive spiders inhabit moist areas beneath rocks, logs, dense vegetation, and building foundations, with males wandering during warmer months seeking mates. Professional pest control significantly reduces funnel-web populations around properties.

Redback Spiders (Latrodectus hasselti) Dangerous venomous spiders common in homes throughout the region, redbacks establish webs in sheltered locations including outdoor furniture, bbq grills, garden sheds, letterboxes, and children’s play equipment. Female redbacks deliver neurotoxic bites causing severe pain, muscle rigidity, and systemic symptoms requiring medical attention.

White-Tailed Spiders (Lampona species) Nocturnal hunting spiders causing painful bites and potential necrotic reactions. White-tails inhabit gardens and frequently enter homes hunting prey, hiding in bedding, clothing, and towels. Regular pest control reduces prey populations (silverfish, black house spiders) that attract white-tailed spiders.

Huntsman Spiders, Black House Spiders, and Orb Weavers Common nuisance spiders creating extensive webbing around eaves, windows, outdoor lighting, and garden areas. While generally not dangerous, these spiders create unsightly webs and cause alarm when encountered indoors.

Ant Species and Colony Problems

Black House Ants (Ochetellus species) Small (2-3mm) black ants forming super-colonies with hundreds of thousands of workers and multiple queens. These persistent ants establish trails into buildings seeking sweet foods, invading kitchens, pantries, and living areas in large numbers. Black house ants nest in wall cavities, beneath pavers, and in garden areas.

Coastal Brown Ants (Pheidole megacephala) Aggressive territorial ants forming massive colonies displacing native ant species. These medium-sized (2-4mm) brown ants invade buildings, damage seedlings, and protect sap-sucking insects in gardens. Coastal brown ants bite when disturbed and create persistent problems requiring professional control.

Argentine Ants (Linepithema humile) Invasive ant species forming mega-colonies throughout the region. Argentine ants exhibit no inter-colony aggression, allowing separate nests to cooperate creating massive super-colonies. These ants establish multiple nesting sites and overwhelm properties with enormous worker populations.

Carpenter Ants (Camponotus species) Large (6-12mm) black or black-and-red ants excavating galleries in timber, particularly water-damaged wood. While not as destructive as termites, carpenter ant colonies damage structural timbers, outdoor furniture, and landscape materials over time.

Additional Pest Species Controlled

Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) Primitive wingless insects infesting bathrooms, laundries, bookcases, and storage areas. Silverfish feed on starches, book bindings, wallpaper paste, and natural fabrics, causing damage to documents, photographs, and stored materials. These moisture-loving pests indicate humidity problems requiring attention.

Earwigs (Labidura truncata and others) Nocturnal insects with distinctive pincers inhabiting gardens, mulch, and damp areas. Earwigs enter buildings through foundation gaps, seeking moisture in bathrooms and laundries. While harmless to humans, large earwig populations become nuisance pests when abundant indoors.

Millipedes and Centipedes Multi-legged arthropods invading buildings during wet weather or when outdoor habitats become saturated. Millipedes seek moisture indoors, while centipedes hunt other pests. Both require habitat modification and perimeter treatments for control.

Crickets and Beetles Various species entering buildings attracted to lighting, moisture, or food sources. Field crickets, carpet beetles, and stored product beetles infest specific areas requiring targeted treatment and sanitation improvements.
