When is it Time to Call a Professional Pest Control Service?

Call a Professional Pest Control Service

If you’re dealing with unwanted pests in your home or business, it’s not always easy to know when to call in professional help. While minor problems might seem manageable with DIY sprays or traps, infestations can quickly grow out of control. That’s when a trusted pest control company in New Zealand, like JAE, can make all the difference.

Why Choose Certified Pest Control Experts

When you choose JAE, you’re getting more than just pest control; you’re getting expertise backed by recognised qualifications.

  • JAE pest control technicians are NZQA certified, with Australasian pest management qualifications that ensure they meet the highest industry standards.
  • They know where pests live, how they behave, and the most effective ways to manage them, even in hard-to-reach or unexpected areas.
  • From initial inspection to long-term control, JAE offers professional pest control services across New Zealand tailored to your specific pest issue.

Common Pests That Often Need Professional Attention

1. Flies

Flies can quickly spread bacteria and contaminate food surfaces, especially in warmer months. While fly sprays and traps might offer short-term relief, ongoing infestations require expert treatment.

Consider professional fly pest control if:

  • Flies are consistently inside your home or business
  • You notice breeding activity near rubbish or drains
  • DIY products aren’t reducing numbers, or you manage a business that must meet hygiene standards

JAE’s pest control specialists use approved and effective treatments to help manage fly populations and reduce future outbreaks.

2. Ants

Ants are one of the most common pests in New Zealand, especially in kitchens and pantries. While you might spot only a few at first, large colonies can contain thousands.

Call JAE for professional pest control help if:

  • You notice persistent ant trails indoors
  • DIY sprays only work temporarily
  • Ants appear in several areas around your home

JAE’s ant pest control specialists understand ant species and behaviour, allowing them to track nests and apply treatments designed to address the entire colony, not just the surface problem.

3. Fleas

As our climate warms up, fleas can quickly infest homes with pets, causing itching, irritation, and allergic reactions for both animals and humans. Vacuuming and washing bedding helps, but once fleas breed in carpets and upholstery, professional treatment is essential. Many DIY treatments are not very effective at treating flea eggs.

Contact JAE for professional flea pest control treatment if:

  • You notice fleas or bites around your ankles
  • Your pets are scratching excessively
  • You’ve tried DIY sprays or flea bombs without success

JAE offers comprehensive flea treatments that target both adult fleas and their eggs for long-lasting results.

4. Spiders

New Zealand homes often attract spiders seeking shelter, warmth, or insects to feed on. Spider webs make our homes appear uncared for. While most are harmless, species like the white-tailed spider or noble false widow spider can bite and cause painful reactions.

You might want to call the experts if:

  • You regularly see spiders inside your home
  • There are webs in high or hidden areas like corners, ceilings, or garages.
  • You spot potentially venomous species

JAE’s trained technicians know where spiders like to hide and how to reduce the insects they feed on, providing long-term, professional spider pest control solutions.

5. Rodents (Rats and Mice)

Rats and mice are fast breeders; a small problem can become a serious infestation in just a few weeks. They’re often active at night and can squeeze through small gaps, making them difficult to control without expert help.

Signs you may need to call JAE for pest control:

  • Droppings or gnaw marks on furniture or food packaging
  • Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors
  • A strong, musky odour or shredded nesting material

JAE’s technicians can locate entry points, identify nesting areas, and apply targeted rodent control strategies to help stop infestations before they spread.

When DIY Isn’t Enough

While store-bought products may help temporarily, they rarely get to the root of the issue. Certified professionals like JAE understand pest biology, seasonal patterns, and how to identify where pests are nesting or entering your property.

If you’ve tried to control pests yourself without lasting success, or the problem keeps returning, it’s time to call in the experts for comprehensive, long-term pest control solutions NZ homeowners and businesses can rely on.

  • NZQA and Australasian-qualified technicians
  • Approved and effective, and environmentally responsible treatments
  • Deep understanding of pest habits and behaviour
  • Tailored pest control for homes and businesses across New Zealand
