A recent study conducted by The University of Melbourne has indicated that the humble honeybee is the country’s number one most deadly animal!
The study which was published in the Internal Medicine Journal found that bees and other biting or stinging insects such as wasps had contributed to a list of 42,000 hospitalisations.
Of the 42,000 hospitalisation, bees and wasp stings accounted for 33% of hospital admissions, followed by spider bites (30%), and snake bites (15%).
Overall, there were sixty-four deaths recorded, with more than half of these deaths caused by an allergic reaction to an insect bite that caused anaphylactic shock.

Easter has finished and with it appears the warm weather.
This chill we felt this morning is the start of the colder months.
Whilst we look to snuggle up in the Doona’s in the morning, so are rats and mice.
The on set of the cold weather will drive mice and rats inside Gold Coast properties, as like the local residents the are here for the warmth.
Rats and mice inside you home are not only unsightly they can cause illness and serious property damage.
Your home to them is like a palace, a ner ending wonderland of opportunity for rest, nesting, raising their young and most all food.
Do you have rats and mice? – to look out for are droppings, hearing noise in the walls or roof.
The most important thing though is to get in early. Leave it too long and well – it could turn in too the Q1 for rats.
If you not sure or your want us to have a look contact us at Enviro Guard Pest Management – the Gold Coast’s Pest Control specialists.
The video below by Termidor, does a great job in explaining actually how termites get in to Gold Coast homes and then how they damage them.
Termites nests can be a tens of meters away from your home, yet termites can travel underground into your home. Squeezing through gaps as thin as a piece of paper.
Once inside anything wood is food to them – it like one big walk in pantry.
Let them inside for too long and in the worst case – you have to walk away from your home – due to the structural damage they cause.
If you think you have termites on the Gold Coast or you want a termite inspection – then contact us on 1300 669 092.
We are the Pest Control company of choice on the Gold Coast – for professionalism and country style service and trust.
Cold weather is signals the start of doona’s and rodents.
Like us, they want to stay warm during the colder months and your house is the perfect place, especially on the Gold Coast.
So how do you know if you have rats or mice?
The first sign that you may have rats or mice in your home are “sounds in the night”. For two reasons, during the night your home is quieter and rodents are more active. Noises such as sounds behind walls or running sounds in the roof, even little bump sounds echoing from empty places in the house.
If you notice, black cyclindrical pellets in cupboards, pantries or even on your benches in the morning, then you probably have rats or mice.
The two signs above are the most common signs that you have rats or mice in your Gold Coast home, other signs include- damage to clothes or shredded paper (signs they are nesting), or a musky smell which is rodent urine.

Synonymous with living in Queensland are cockroaches.
However just because we are use to having cockroaches around the house does not make them any less dangerous.
Cockroaches are a health risk, to you and your family as they eat a variety of food and fecal matter, including that in your garbage bin.
Given their prevalence and less than savory eating habits, cockroaches can quickly spread diseases to you including salmonella and gastroenteritis. Researchers believe that the cockroach may be a storage source for bacterial infections such as salmonella, staphylococcus and streptococcus.
As Cockroaches vomit and defaecate on food, bench tops and other areas it is considered that this may be source of disease transmission.
Furthermore recent academic studies have determined that cockroaches may also cause allergies.
Good housekeeping practises are certainly are start, address issues such as:
Secondly get Enviro Guard Pest Management to arrange a cockroach pest management treatment for you. We provide the Gold Coast with Cockroach pest control servicing the following areas:
Many people are often not sure if they have termites in their house until its too late. So how do you know if you have termites in your house? Some people are not quite sure what white ants or termites actually look like. So here are some examples based on actual images taken from Gold Coast homes with termites.
The termite mud trail is an obvious sign that you have termites. The image below taken recently in one Gold Coast home with Termites.
The termite mud trail is clear accross the white panel board, near the bottom.
If you have mud trails like this then you need us (Enviro Guard Pest Management )to immediately inspect your property.
Again recently we have a client who had floor boards lifting in the lounge room.
Thinking inititially that the floor boards were warping in the weather the client had left it.
As you can see, the lifting and clear evidence of saw dust like material is a sign that termites are present.
