Joel: “Hi, my name is Joel. I’m here with Bruce from A1 Pest Control. Bruce, can you tell me what’s going on with the mouse plague in Newcastle and what are some effective ways of rat control?”
Bruce: “Yeah, sure Joel. There is certainly a lot of activity of rodents at the moment in Newcastle, and as you can see by the this news item here, they’re going a little bit crazy. Rodents that we’re concerned with are mainly rats and mice, and that certainly is a problem this time of year.”
Joel: “And can you tell me why is it important for me to get commercial pest control for a business in Newcastle?”
Bruce: “Yes, well the the rats and mice don’t go away. They just keep on breeding, and they’re really prolific breeders. So if you don’t take action as soon as you see them, the problem gets worse.”

Termite Control, Inspections & Reports Rathmines
Video Transcript:
Joel: “Bruce can you tell me how I can identify termite damage in Newcastle?”
Bruce: “Yeah, sure Joel. The things thatwe’re looking for are things like this. We’re looking for columns or funnels in the timber and mud. If you’ve got the combination of those two things, it’s most likely going to be termite damage.”
Joel: “And does the kind of termite species affect how the termite damage looks?”
Bruce: “Yes, absolutely. In Newcastle, the main species are the coptotermes species, and they’re the most economically destructive termite, and if you’ve got that species, you want to take some action pretty fast.”

Rathmines often experiences summer temperatures that are 5-10 degrees warmer than those in Sydney’s CBD. This pleasant warmth is enjoyed by residents and also attracts a range of pests that thrive in the heat.

1. Rathmines Park:
A popular local park with a large, open space ideal for picnics, sports, and leisurely walks. It features playgrounds, barbecue facilities, and scenic views of Lake Macquarie. The park is a community hub for family gatherings and outdoor activities.
The park’s natural environment and recreational facilities can attract pests that may cause damage or discomfort. Regular pest control and termite inspections are important to ensure that park amenities remain safe and functional for visitors.
2. Rathmines Community Hall:
This historic building serves as a venue for local events, including markets, social gatherings, and community meetings. Its charming architecture and central location make it a focal point for community activities.
Community halls can be susceptible to pest infestations, which might affect both the building structure and the events held within. Routine inspections and pest control are essential for maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all community activities.

Safe Pest Treatment Services For Your Family and Business
Transcript:
Joel: “Bruce, can you tell me how termite bait stations work to protect a property in Newcastle?”
Bruce: “Yeah, sure Joel. The termite bait stations that we use are attractive to termites, but they don’t bring termites into the area. They are a monitoring device initially, and termites, as they’re going through the the soil, they actually run into them by accident, and then as soon as they find out there’s some food there, they come and consume the termite bait, and then they take that back to the nest.”
Joel: “Okay, are there any other treatment options available to me?”
Bruce: “Yes, there are Joel, as well as the termite bait stations that we’ve got, we’ve also got what we used to call termite barriers and now they’re called termite treated zones, and we prefer to use a product called Termidor in Newcastle.”
Joel: “And which one would you recommend?”
Bruce: “The Termidor HE is probably the the best termite protection that you can get. That’s highly effective, and it’s one that we use in problem termite situations.”
