Common Pests in Napier
Rodents: Most common call-out. Signs include droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds at night. Treatment: baiting stations inside and out, follow-up visit.
Wasps: NZ's German wasp is aggressive — large nests should only be treated by professionals, at night when wasps are inactive.
Borer: Common in NZ timber homes. Treat in summer when larvae are near the surface.
Cockroaches: Multiple treatment visits needed to break the egg cycle.
Pest controllers applying restricted pesticides must hold a GROWSAFE certificate. Always ask for proof before allowing treatment.
