Bird Gard Possum Deterrent
Fabulous ! Sceptical at first, but this worked keeping IBIS and other birds away – We didn't think this would work but it did ! I bought it mainly on the back of the 30 day money back guarantee. I thought if it doesn't work its… Read more
going back and its money back for me (BUT I would be left with my original problem !). Well it DID work. We had nesting IBIS and Cockatoos in the large tree out the back, in the evenings around dusk. They were too far away to reach with a hose. My guess 15 to 25 metres. This thing works on ULTRASONIC sound although for some of the first week or so we added in the audible sounds as we seemed to need some extra deterrent. Just SO impressed. We have only had the unit for about 5 weeks so I cannot speak of the longevity of it, but I will tell you what, pest controllers were talking thousands to get those birds out of my tree and now, for $150 or so, I am living pest free. It does not bother the dogs and we cannot hear it on ULTRASONIC. It did chew through the "C" type batteries if you inadvertently left it on, and those are expensive. Now we have it set up to mains power, on a timer, 10 minutes before dusk till 20 minutes afterwards. I could not be happier. Those birds stink and leave very putrid droppings, and now we are free from that. Just so happy.

Took of cap, pointed it where I wanted to put a bead and pushed plunger. It resisted. I pushed a little harder. It still did not move. I pushed a little harder. It went "pop" and sprayed the entire contents out in one go. At this point, I have no idea on whether the cockies are going to like it or not, but they have plenty to try.

I found the ratsack mousetraps via my doordash app, and within 35 minutes I had received the product, set both traps up and by morning id successfully trapped, killed and disposed of. I reset the trap and found another captured and killed mouse this morning! I am mortified at the thought of any kind of infestation, and have,"obsessively" cleaned everywhere and everything in my unit, unsuccessfully finding anywhere that these guys could be hiding! I live on a 3rd floor apartment and have no idea where their coming from but have reset the trap and am eager to check at any stage. Very very effective purchase!!!

Gecko Triple Lure Insect Trapper
An effective outdoor mosquito trap – This is a well-designed indoor/outdoor mosquito trap. The 365nm UV fluoro globe works better than UV LEDs (which I think are too weak) and the fan is… Read more
far more effective than a high voltage electrical grid in a bug zapper (this is a trap, not a zapper). The fan smashes the bugs apart and any survivors are trapped in the metal mesh bottom which is shaped like a funnel to guide airflow. No needs for any octenol lures or attractants, the trap already does this by turning dead bugs into CO2 using a photocatalyst and the UV globe emits broad UV, visible light and heat, all of which attracts mozzies.
For best results it must be the only light source at night, little to no wind and placed where mosquitoes like to rest when they're not flying such as under an eave or near vegetation.
I put mine on a powerpoint timer so it only runs at night between sunset and sunrise. The trap can already do this as it does come with a switch which can select between 'permanently on' and 'light sensor' but I think adding a timer gives better results. This should also make the globe last longer as frequent cycling will shorten the life of a fluoro globe. Fortunately replacement globes are easy to order from Bunnings etc. I wish there was a fault alarm or light which tells you the globe or fan is not working when it eventually does happen.
When emptying the trap, make sure they're all dead otherwise the bugs will simply fly out. Otherwise, can simply wash them down the sink with detergent. There's plenty of capacity so you'll only need to empty it once a week for heavy infestations and maybe once a month for light/regular use.

stuff. Not only did it completely kill the ants, it guarded the whole block against spiders and mozzies.
After moving home to QLD and losing the half empty bottle in the move I knew needed to get some more. I sprayed the new lawn and house area and once again I was not disappointed. Mozzie and spider free once again.
My only serious concern (still worth it) is all pets NEED to removed from the area for at least 3 days. We had our dogs outside after 24 hours and they came back in throwing their guts up. But after some water and removing them from the area they were back to normal with no side effects at all.
This is some powerful stuff and the $80 bottle will last you its shelf life!

Bayer Coopex Residual Insecticide
This is the only "safe" insecticide to use for ants and spiders – We have got aviaries - and you can't spray just anything to control ants and spiders. Coopex is the only effective product that won't kill birds.… Read more
(However, it is deadly for amphibians such as frogs - so one must be careful.) You can see Coopex working within 30 seconds of spraying it when it is dropping ants and spiders. And the product will last months, thereby preventing re-infestation. For people considering using it - Coopex is actually a powder that is dispersed with water by spraying it in a sprayer. The water dries off, leaving a very fine powder. This why it is residual and keeps working. However, rain will wash it off. It is not a chemical like Mortein that evaporates over time.

Bug-A-Salt Bug-Beam and Orange Crush 3.0
fairly awesome – have to admit its awesome, i had a bunch of pest control contracts in the barossa and was highly awarded for it, my pest bunny numbers were second to… Read more
none, but i suffered a massive upset woman done me wrong got divorced lost my horses my contracts and it was so hard to shake, could not of felt more btrayed or worse of, i was desperate for therapy, needed to go walkies out bush and do what i love most, other then spearfishing, anyway.. such a itch was driving me crazy, .. i had a few cockroaches and some flies buggn me, and by chance i seen some footage on YouTube and looked into it, i bought mine in a similar theory to a nicotine patch trying to control hunting and bush withdrawals . a few flies later, and then some, it actually saved me from going mental and heavily suppressed my withdrawals i did not expect the orange crush to perform so well nor did i expect, my aim of withdrawal control from real pest hunting, light game archery ect , behavior control, resentments over my contracts to perform so well .. i am somewhat overly grateful my anger and resentments were highly diluted and i was able to be distracted and still obtain some form of pest control,
lol but im honest to god, almost nightly i patrol my house and sometimes allow doors to be open just so some flys or bugs can meet there maker.. hahah
i was near crazy and held so much resentment, i live for pest control and hunting ...
i had intended my bug assault to suppress my attitude malfunction and distract me ...
i actually fell in love with my orange crush
developed my own salt ammo custom made a sling, lil usb spotlight on it, few little tweaks, and i am basically well behaved now and i still miss my contracts and position as the best pest controller in the community .. but the orange crush saved me from depression anger and as intended distracted me, allowed me to have fun and took my mind away from resentment and anger issues,
i did not expect to heal, infact i wouldn't of healed as good as i did without my orange crush.. might be a lot to take on but hard to understand .. i am a pro pest controller and miss the bush i lived for pest controlling, ranching .. as much as i miss it all... without the bug assault in example like a nicotine patch to smokers. i would not be as clear minded as i am.
i am nothing but grateful... saved me from chronic problematic resentment and anger issues over lost contracts ..
the bug a salt .. is such a fun device and is genuinely a pest control device . large cockroaches may need an extra shot or two but ay makes it more fun
most bugs wont stand a chance .
im nothing but greatful this aint a toy to me .. i needed to be distracted and dilute my attitude problems. for my recovery plus all the fun i had in the process, now with hundreds of flys, wasps roaches and assorted fully controlled and dispatched. i get a big kick out of it and it is a lust cure ... i may have to wait a year or several before i land more pest control contracts/and permits but my resentment and attitude has been distracted, diluted and im able to move on in my life ...
i lost what mattered most to me. my fav past times.. but i was luckily enough to have the right device at the right time i was worried about my anger and resentment. a few flys is all you need to get relevant therapy .. i might not be able to patrol bush and trap shoot pests and work for the councils or golf courses atm may take ages before i land more gigs.
but i can have a decent rush and get what i need out the bug a salt whilst having fun and looking after things..
this goes so deep and far beyond most people's comprehensions.
so dam grateful . i am a die hard pest controller a genuine professional among the best at what i do.. and in the middle of a crisis i found some light at the end of the tunnel and was able to get over serious anguishes.
the bug a salt saved me from myself and allowed me to live again, and regain composure self control and break out of a terrible time in my life...
i do not believe in nicotine patch's but i can vouch for the bug a salt outright.
does not matter if your sas to kokoda company does not matter how good a hunter how good a controllent you think you are , im top of the foodchain in pest control you will get your fix, your lust cure you will be able to control your need to go bush, you can leave the bunnys for a rainy day and a smart council leave them for golf clubs with bludgers things come when there least expected..
i cant express my gratitude enough .. plus the perks of no more fly spray, no poisons, and the thrill of the hunt.. all that and a bag of chips. im nearly at a 1000 flys surpassed 500 roaches, not advised to snipe wasps unless your confident in your skills i took out a nest with a '' modified water bomb full of neem, and eucalyptus oil and direct fired on evaders and aggressors i was so impressed with the orange crush .. i have not had one issue. my orange crush is apart of daily life now...
again so much fun, a lust cure, will distract you from personal issues and allows you to heal when you cant go hunting...
i am beyond grateful i count my blessings every day.
it is a genuine pest control device and your genuinely pest controlling your genuinely getting a good fix and you certainly suppress your lusts..
so good and worth every cent.. i am likely to buy some as gifts for close mates..
i had a mates wife shoot some flys near my front lights and she was laughing like a mad man loved it, i am fair certain she purchased herself one Aswell.
if anyone ever does anything stupid or gives a reason to suspect harm ect anyone makes the bug asault look bad and they should be given life in jail ... id personally destroy them..
bug assault must be honored and protected. ..
Pests targeted
The first thing you should consider is the type (or combination) of pests you’re dealing with. Common Australian pests may include cockroaches, termites, flies, moths, ants, rodents, fleas, mosquitoes, spiders, silverfish, birds and possums.
While they are generally harmless, they can cause damage to your property, garden, furniture or carry and spread diseases - on top of being an unpleasant sight.
While the treatments outlined can tackle small numbers of pests, if you have a full-blown infestation, it may be a better solution to consult a professional pest control service to help you.
Types of pest control products
Over-the-counter solutions for killing pests come in a range of choices, and some are safer than others if you have pets or children around the house.
Sprays
Sprays are ideal for targeting flying insects and crawling bugs. They can come in aerosol or liquid form and two varieties: repellents and pesticides. Repellents keep pests away from an area of your house (or your skin), whereas pesticides kill them.
A type of pesticide is a surface spray that creates a barrier that can kill bugs that come into contact with it. Knockdown sprays may be something you’re common with as these are the types of sprays that you can use directly on flying or crawling insects to kill them.
To keep your space bug-free even when you’re not there, you can invest in an automatic spray. These come in plug-in and battery-powered forms, and they control the number of flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and other insects in the vicinity by releasing a repellent in the air every few hours or when they detect motion.
Bug repellent sprays are made to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other flying insects. Diethyltoluamide (DEET) is one of the most common active ingredients in insect repellents. It doesn't kill mosquitoes but works by making it difficult for mosquitoes to detect you as prey. It can be applied in spray format to your skin and clothing to keep you concealed and bite-free.
Baits and traps
Chemical baits and traps are mainly designed to tackle rodents and cockroaches. They work by luring pests out of their hiding places and poisoning them. Cockroach baits also allow contaminated cockroaches to return to their nest and contaminate others.
Bombs
Pest control bombs can be used to rid of a range of pests including fleas, ants, silverfish, bed bugs, spiders and cockroaches. They work by releasing a mist into the air which kills any pests on the surface and in the open. However, they come with health and safety risks and need to be used with caution. Remember to follow the instructions closely to keep yourself and those in your house safe.
Powders
Powders are designed to kill fleas, ants and bedbugs through poisoning and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Be careful if you have pets as this method may not be suitable for your household.
Zappers
Electronic zappers work by attracting insects towards them with their ultraviolet light and sending a fatal volt of electricity to kill them. Dead bugs will drop into an in-built catcher tray. They are chemical-free and suitable for use both inside and outside the house.
Ultrasonic technology
Ultrasonic rodent and possum deterrents can be highly appealing since they get rid of pests without the use of chemicals. They are small devices that emit high-frequency sound waves that humans can’t hear, but rodents find intolerable. They have limits however as they have a range of 3-6 metres.
Pest control products and safety
Be sure to keep yourself and everyone in your home safe by reading the instructions closely and following them. Dealing with insecticides can be toxic and poisonous, especially to vulnerable members of your household such as pets and children.
These safety instructions can tell you how to store the product safely, how to use it and what to do if you come into contact with it.
Many pest control products are classified as schedule 5 or 6 poisons under the poison standard and will be printed on the label. Some products with a low toxicity level are not required to have a signal heading, but you can still expect to see warnings like "Keep out of reach of children" on them.
As a general rule, you should:
- Keep pets and children away from areas where pesticides have been applied.
- Pesticides (excluding bombs) should only be applied to targeted locations and not sprayed over the whole room.
- Check the label to see if it is approved for use indoors or outdoors. You shouldn’t use outdoor products inside since the chemicals will remain toxic longer inside than they would outdoors, making them very dangerous.
- Dispose of leftover pesticides and pesticide containers in an appropriate manner.
Natural pest repellents
If you don’t want to break out the chemicals, there are plenty of simple things you can do to keep your home free of pests. Tasks like keeping your home clean, not leaving out containers of water and tidying away food scraps can help keep pests under control.
Some insects are naturally repelled by certain scents such as lemon or eucalyptus. You can find bug spray that use essential oils (lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, citronella, geraniol) to repel mosquitoes, spiders and other unwanted guests.
Keep in mind that these products tend to be less effective than those with synthetic active ingredients and will need reapplying more frequently.
Installing flyscreens, keeping all food preparation surfaces clean and ensuring your bins have tightly sealed lids will keep flies and mozzies at bay.
Things to consider
Label information
Check the label to find out what pests you can use the product to kill. If you're looking to tackle multiple pests, you may need to invest in more than one product. The label will also give you valuable information such as the active ingredients, poison category, intended application area and application instructions.
How long it lasts
How much you invest in the product will depend on how long it’s supposed to last. Bug sprays and oils may need refills whereas zappers and ultrasonic devices are guaranteed to last longer. It may be useful to look out for devices with warranties or money-back guarantees if it doesn’t work for you.
Price
The price of pest control products varies depending on the type of product you buy and the insect it's designed to kill. Many aerosol knockdown sprays are priced affordably in the $4-7 range, while an ultrasonic rodent repellent or possum deterrent can go for up to $150.
