Ant, spider and fly control around Motueka
An ant trail across the bench, webs along the eaves, flies gathering in the roof space, cockroaches under the tub or fleas in the carpet. Richard treats them where they live and where they get in, inside the house and round the outside.
If Richard’s on a job when you ring, your call is still answered and he calls you back.
“… We had a cockroach and ant issue … sorted it out real quick. …”

Before you ring
What sets the price?
Which pests, how many rooms or areas, inside only or round the outside too, and the size of the house. The inspection and quote are free.
Is it safe to wait?
An ant trail that has found food keeps coming back for it, and cockroaches and fleas breed indoors, so they’re easier to clear early.
What does the visit involve?
Richard follows them back to where they live and get in, treats inside and round the outside as the job needs, and checks in afterwards.
What’s about this month?
This month is lit on the strip. Where a pest keeps a season, its band shows the months it’s most about.

Ants
Spring and summer are when ants like the Argentine ant go looking for sweet and protein foods, and that’s when the trails show up across benches and pantries. Argentine ants nest together in huge supercolonies, climb trees, and spread mostly in potted plants.
Richard follows the trail back outside and treats where they’re nesting and coming in, so it isn’t just the ants on the bench that go.
… did my yard for ants. He came highly recommended from my neighbour … Best part - NO Ants!
Spiders
Spiders set up wherever insects come to them: along the eaves, round the window frames, in the roof space and under the floor. Richard treats the outside of the house, the eaves, and the places they shelter inside.
Flies
When flies gather in the roof space or keep finding their way inside, Richard treats the places they gather and the gaps they’re using to get in.
Cockroaches and fleas
New Zealand has 15 native cockroaches that live in the bush and aren’t pests. The ones that get into houses are introduced: the German, the American and the Gisborne cockroach. The Gisborne cockroach lives in timber and bark chips outside, and moves into roof cavities and wall spaces in cold weather.
Richard treats where they hide: under the tubs and appliances, in cracks and cavities, and in the roof. Fleas get a treatment through the carpets and the rooms the pets use.
What sets the price
- Which pests, and how many rooms or areas they’re in
- Inside only, or inside and round the outside of the house
- Whether the roof space and subfloor need treating too
- The size of the house
Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 027 or send it with your quote.
Do you treat outside as well as inside?
Yes. For ants, spiders and flies the outside is where they live and the inside is where you see them, so Richard treats both.
Can you treat several pests in one visit?
Yes. Tell Richard everything you’re seeing and he’ll inspect and quote it as one job.
Are Gisborne cockroaches dangerous?
They’re generally harmless and don’t normally infest food, but they do come into roof cavities and walls in cold weather. Richard treats them when they’re getting inside.
