Spiders

Spiders can cause some people to break out in a cold sweat. We’re relatively lucky in Cairns, in that poisonous spiders are not usually a ‘big issue’ when it comes to the home or office. That being said, the white tail spider bite can cause discomfort and a rash. If you’re not happy having eight-legged friends in your premises, then call Pestaway Pest Management today. Free quotes and fast, efficient service.

Mice & Rats

Furry friends are another unwelcome guest at properties around Cairns. Mice and rats do live in the rainforest environment naturally, so it comes as no surprise that sometimes they like to move inside to enjoy the ‘comfort’ of your house, office or restaurant. You can try trapping them yourselves, but if that isn’t working, then call Pestaway Pest Management. We’ll take care of your mice and/or rat problems, quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. ‘Fun’ rat fact: rat teeth are strong enough to nibble through wood, bone, lead piping, brick, concrete, and metal!

Caterpillar Hairs

Processionary caterpillars drop stinging (urticating) hairs as they trail and also around their silken shelters. When the hairs touch the body, a stinging sensation results. This can lead to mild or major irritation, depending on the individual. Pestaway are the Cairns pest control experts and can assist with all types of pests.
