20.01.2022 Yes, Greedy Gecko is open for business. Our mandatory PPE includes face mask, gloves, hat and long sleeve shirts. So we are already limiting both our technicians and customers ability to get the Covid-19 strain person to person.

We no longer use paper invoices/receipts and will e-mail an invoice/receipt once completed. No manual handling. Pests will continue and we will be there to solve your pest problems. Contact us if you need our services.

19.01.2022 Infestations of big-headed ants are characterized by lines of inter-connected holes and small mounds of excavated soil. Excavations can be so extensive that brick paving is destabilised and the roots of plants and the lawn can become so aerated that the plants subsequently die by drying out.

19.01.2022 Not the usual "Redback in the outside dunny"... Fair size Huntsman.. in the outside dunny.

17.01.2022 We get to see some amazing places on our country trips... Check out that sky..

16.01.2022 This is not good... Very aggressive ant's that will attack you when near their nest. We don't need these nasty things spreading across Aust. https://www.communitynews.com.au//red-imported-fire-ant-f/

16.01.2022 Looking looking... Found it..

16.01.2022 We often get asked: "Is it true, if you have black ants, you don't have termites? In short no. Termites are always in a protective colony that predators such as black ants can't penetrate.... The footage shows black ants living in direct vicinity of termites. Not until we opened the active timber, did the black ants have access to attack the termites.

16.01.2022 This unseasonal dry and warm weather has seen an increase in ant activity. They are entering buildings in the search for moisture. They will enter your bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Knowing what type of feeding ant is paramount to controlling the problem. Fats and oils or sugar feeding ants. These Brown coastal (Big Headed Ant) are fats and oils. We use a number of products including granular bait, non repellant and barrier treatments to solve the issue.

16.01.2022 Can anyone spot the damage??? Property we inspected and treated in Strathalbyn SA.. Regular inspections can limit any damage termites can cause to your property..... Our inspections start at $190 inc GST that follow Aust standards. What's the cost of the damage if you don't get one??

15.01.2022 Close Call... Ian our tech based in Pt Wakefield called off his trip in Pt Lincoln due to extreme wind and 48c heat . After a 7 hour drive he was home for 30 min before he got a call from his neighbour asking if he was home. "Look out your back door" Ian was told. WOW. Lucky only some fences lost. Here's thanks to the awesome fire fighting teams that helped save Ian's home and valuable birds...

15.01.2022 It's a bit of Ground Hog day.. But here we go again: ROUND 4 Up for grabs - A FREE SERVICE to the value of $200. Same rules apply.... 1. You must have liked our page.. 2.

15.01.2022 We love our country trips. Crops looking not too bad in Mid West WA. Has been a very dry year though..

15.01.2022 Another wine barrel attacked by termites.. If you are going to use them as pots, please raise them off the ground so termites don't destroy them. The water will attract them as they need moisture to survive. They will be concealed under the barrel and next thing you know, it falls apart..

14.01.2022 German Cockroaches can cause illness through disease in their excrement. Early intervention and using the correct products is paramouont to solving the problem such as non repellant and growth regulators. Got an issue, contact the Gecko..

14.01.2022 Mud tracks are a sign of termite activity. Onto the job with our drill and injection service lasting 10 years. Any unusual signs of termites, we recommend a timber pest inspection ($190 inc GST). We can also provide a termite management proposal that follows Aust Standards. Don't let them cause any unnecessary damage that insurance doesn't cover... Contact us today on 1800 88 39 88 or PM us.

09.01.2022 We know people were going nuts over toilet paper, but these termites take it to another level - eating it.. Access was via the concrete floor of the bathroom and the sub floor of the bedroom.

Our second set of SMS reminders will be sent from Monday for those who missed out before Christmas. If you require our services, just reply "Y". Word of advice: Using fly attractants are useful in unison with our general insect treatment, but, only if you use them correctly. This client had one located inside in the family room. They are designed to attract flies so you need to locate them outside at least 2-3 meters from the building e.g. on the fence. Otherwise it will bring flies into the building. Not to mention the smell...
