Things worth knowing

Written over the years, mostly because the same questions kept coming up on the phone.

Pests, borer certificates, and what actually happens to a carpet or a rug when it’s cleaned properly.

Pest questions from our callouts

Why professional help works for cockroach control
The hard part is often finding what's hidden, then checking whether the treatment is actually being taken.
Why professional treatment is essential for bed bugs
Finding the pest and the hiding places comes before choosing the treatment. Bites alone don't settle it.
Bird lice in the house: finding the roof source
The activity inside the house and the nest in the roof need looking at together.
Starlings: the bird you want removed
Starlings making a racket in the roof and a suspected bird-lice problem are two reasons people call us. Before agreeing to roof work, we need to see the nest and the way the birds are getting in.
Bird nest deterrents: keeping your roof bird-free
The useful question is where the birds are getting in, and what can realistically be closed.

Wood borer inspection: what am I paying for?
You're arranging a visual inspection of accessible timber, not just a look at the spot you've noticed.
Borer beetle treatment: what can be done
Borer beetle treatment need not be a death blow to your finances. Have the timbers in your house inspected regularly and you can stop an infestation early.
How to deal with wood borers in your furniture
If you have noticed small holes appearing in your wooden furniture, those are the signs of a borer infestation.

Why “carpet cleaners near me” is the right question
You may have typed “carpet cleaners near me” into a search bar hoping to find something reliable nearby. That question already sets you up well.
The benefits of low moisture carpet cleaning
Low moisture carpet cleaning, and encapsulation cleaning in particular, is a quick and reliable way to keep carpets fresh.
Why you want a professional to clean your rugs
Cleaning rugs is not exactly fun. Maybe you have tried it yourself, pulled out the hose and soaked the rug, and then realised it is wet and not drying.

Phone 061 905 0514 and ask. We’d rather answer the question than have you read around it.

Or WhatsApp us and tell us what you’re dealing with.
