Tom's Pest Control Adelaide

🪳 Spotted a couple of cockroaches at night? There are likely more hiding.

A Glenelg resident noticed small cockroaches in the kitchen late at night, and an inspection found German cockroach activity behind appliances and inside cupboards where it was warm and damp.

Treatment was carried out, with a follow-up two weeks later to catch newly hatched roaches and break the breeding cycle.

💡 Here's why that matters: German cockroaches spend up to 90% of their time hidden in cracks and crevices, so what you see is often just a fraction of the actual population.

🛏️ Waking up with itchy bites you can't explain? It might not be mosquitoes.

Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, bed frames and furniture joints, making them difficult to spot. Tiny blood spots or dark stains on your sheets, shed skins and itchy bite marks are often the first signs of an infestation.

🔎 DIY sprays may kill the bed bugs you can see, but hidden insects and resistant eggs often survive, allowing the infestation to continue.

Professional bed bug treatment is typically carried out in two stages.

The initial treatment targets active bed bugs, followed by a second treatment around two weeks later to target newly hatched bed bugs that emerge from eggs after the first visit.

This approach helps break the bed bug life cycle and improve treatment success.

Tom's Pest Control provides professional bed bug inspections and treatment across Glenelg, Norwood, Prospect, Unley, Mawson Lakes and throughout Adelaide. 🏡

The sooner a bed bug infestation is identified, the easier it is to manage.

If you've noticed the signs, arrange a professional inspection before the problem spreads. ✅

Good communication, turning up when promised, and taking pride in the job are things that never go unnoticed.

Whether it's keeping customers updated before arrival or making sure the work is completed professionally, it's all part of providing a positive experience from start to finish.

A big thank you to Brian for taking the time to share his feedback.

We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Tom.

Termite Inspection in Norwood, Hollow Timber Detected in Pergola Framing

A Norwood homeowner contacted Tom's Pest Control after tapping on their backyard pergola posts and noticing a hollow sound.

Adelaide's winters create significant moisture fluctuation within timber, conditions that subterranean termites actively exploit as colonies expand in search of soft, moisture-affected wood.

Our licensed technician attended and conducted a comprehensive inspection using thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment.

Live termite workings were confirmed within the pergola framing and had extended into an external wall cavity.

A full termite inspection report was provided, covering structural damage, access points, and a prioritised treatment plan.

Adelaide homeowners are strongly advised to schedule annual inspections after winter, before termite activity peaks.

We service Adelaide and surrounding areas, including Norwood, Glenelg, Unley, Prospect, and nearby communities.

🕷️ As Adelaide's weather cools, spiders actively seek warmer, sheltered spaces to wait out winter, and our homes provide exactly that.

Garages, roof voids, sheds, and cluttered corners become popular hiding spots.

While most spiders are harmless, redbacks and white-tailed spiders pose a genuine risk, particularly to children and pets.

Spiders can squeeze through gaps just a few millimetres wide; sealing entry points helps reduce indoor activity.

Noticed more webs around your home this winter?

A professional spider treatment can help target active spiders, reduce webbing and create a protective barrier around your home.
