History and facts about St Ives
St Ives is located towards the upper north shore of Sydney in NSW. St Ive was first visited by Govenor Arthur Phillip in 1788, they first made camp at what is now known as Hunter Ave. At some stage, St Ives produces a small scale timber industry, one can still see examples from this from the 30m high trees. The St Ives post office opened in 1885, the first school followed shortly in 1889. St Ives, at first, were slow to develop due to its distance from the city but after world war 2 it has been on a steady incline of residents.
Ticks related to meat allergies?
More and more people in the northern beaches areas become aware that they’re experiencing allergic reactions to red meat. A severe local reaction to a tick is a risk factor for developing mammalian meat allergy (MMA). MMA is where a tick’s saliva changes one’s immune system to react to the meat of mammals – beef, pork and lamb. At Mona Vale hospital if someone walks in with a severe allergic reaction, the first question doctors ask is did you have any red meat for dinner and then have you been bitten by a tick? It is estimated that there are well over 500 cases in the Upper North Shore area alone. This number is so high that it is up there with the most common food allergy, peanut allergy. The difference between MMA and other food allergies is that MMA has a delayed reaction of two and ten hours. Most reactions happen between 4-6 hours after ingestion.
Australia have a problem with Ticks on the whole eastern seaboard of Australia with about 50% of people at risk of getting MMA. The question is why is this allergy growing at such a rat and why is Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches such hot spots? Some believe it to be the proliferation of possums and bandicoots,. When a tick feeds on a small mammal, it picks us a small amount of alpha-gal from its blood, which is transmitted from the tick’s gut into the human when the tick is pulled off (see how to do this correctly below).
Prevention is the best cure! It is best to get a tick treatment around your house before Tick season (August to March).
As you remove the tick you squeeze it and all its contents go straight into your bloodstream.
So what should you do? Well you should go to the chemist and buy a spray containing ether.
Place the nozzle conveniently over the tick, spray feels cold.
Freeze the tick and wait about 10 minutes for the tick to die.

St Ives Termite Control
Controlling termites can be a difficult task, for efficient termite control we suggest regular inspections of your property, at least once a year in cooler areas and twice a year in the milder areas of Sydney.
Termite Tips
-
Look for termite activity in their high period which is early Spring to late Summer, which is typically the best.
-
Declutter the surroundings of your property, consisting of slabs, foundations, piers, and stumps including garden beds and vegetation.
-
Only use licensed and termite accredited specialists for your termite inspections and control. We are professionals that are trained for inspecting houses for termite activity.
- Ask at the time of the inspection for us to show you what to look for, as the home owner, you can inspect your building much more frequently than an expert and the earlier you can recognize termite activity the sooner we can control them.

Termite Inspection St Ives
St Ives is classified as a high risk for termites, as is the rest of Sydney. A1 Pest Control presents reports that consists of eleven pages and digital photos upon request, that outline the current state of your property.
Termite inspections are designed to detect termites at beginning stages to stop server harm to your house, once your house is inspected and the report is conducted we can then move ahead with termite control and treatment method if there is an issue.
It is highly recommended a termite inspection report is carried out at least once each twelve months and every three to six months for high-risk regions.
Pest Fumigation Service
Fumigation is one of the most effective approaches of termite control in the USA, as they are plagued by dry wood termites that only exist there. Fumigation in America requires the substantial use of toxic chemicals such as Methyl Bromide and tenting off the house for a number of days while the pest treatment takes place. There are several methods of managing a termite infestation, including baiting, chemical barriers, and fumigation. Don’t be deceived by the term “fumigation”. This method is rarely used on termite infestations in Australia and is a layman’s term used to describe a gassing technique that we don’t use (as it is too toxic). Gone are the days when you were forced out of the family home for hours and even days! The kind of treatment recommended is reliant on building construction and environmental conditions and depends on the species of termite. Not all techniques work on all kinds of infestation.End of Lease Flea Treatment St Ives
If you rent a domestic house or commercial building, it is important to carry out a flea treatment once the lease runs out. One of the most irritating types of pests in domestic buildings is fleas. The sources of a flea infestation are dogs and cats. “Grass” fleas or “Sand” fleas are misnomers for what is normally the cat flea, which attacks both dogs and cats. Pets can easily pick up flea larvae, or grown fleas from other animals. They then rapidly transfer them into the home: infesting bed sheets, carpets, rugs, and other parts of the home. If your domestic or small business property needs end of lease flea treatment, do not hold back to consult with us, a pest control contractor you can trust.Video Transcript:
