The arrival of spring weather brings with it bright sunshine, blooming flowers and unfortunately, pests. From termites and spiders, to cockroaches and mice, pests cannot only be a hassle around the home but can cause significant damage and end up costing you financially. However, help is at hand.
VNJ Pest Management Services are experts in pest control and after a brief absence from the area, owner Vicki Andrew said her and husband Nigel are “delighted to be back in the Hawkesbury”.
Locals for over 30 years, the family business was started in 1996 and provides inspections, treatments and prevention systems for a range of clients including domestic, commercial and industrial properties.
While simple checks can be done around the home to help detect any problems, pest management is more than simply checking and spraying for bugs. Quite often the problem isn’t noticeable or found until it is too late and damage has occurred which is why prevention is a much better alternative to treatment as Vicki explains: “you want to stop the problem before it starts. Your home is your biggest investment so you should protect it with an annual check-up”.
For anyone buying or living in your own home it’s important to have inspections done, especially when it comes to termites. While tiny themselves, large colonies can cause significant cosmetic and structural damage to your home.
As a termite specialist with over 30 years’ experience VNJ proprietor Nigel advised that “Australian standards recommend inspections should be done on a 6- to 12-month cycle with high risk areas as often as every three months”.
Pest inspections and treatments shouldn’t just be limited to buildings. Your garden and trees are all natural environments and nesting areas for termites, ants and other pests.
Careful checks of garden beds and plants is vital but remember while trees may look healthy on the outside, they may have internal infestations which is why professionals are required.
When dealing with treatments, safety concerns are something that can be raised, however VNJ’s solutions are guaranteed safe, and as they have a love of animals themselves, anyone who is worried about effects on pets can be “rest assured, your precious friends are safe with Nigel”.
A wide range of businesses can also benefit from Nigel's commercial experience, especially given the strict regulations for hotels, restaurants and cafes in regards to pest management.
VNJ Pest Management Services use the latest solutions to ensure that no matter how clean your accommodation and dining spaces appear, they will be pest free using pest eradication and deterrent systems along with regular inspections.
