I am grateful for the opportunity to speak out about Women in pest control and male dominated fields as a WHOLE.

14.01.2022 The things you find in a Rodent station

13.01.2022 As you may already know, today is R U OK? day. Suicide is now officially the 13th most common cause of death in Australia, and the 10th most common cause of death for males. Today is just one day to help bring awareness, but mental health is important EVERYDAY. Reach out, talk about it, break the stigma.

13.01.2022 We often get calls from people who would like a Bee hive removed, but many times it is actually a Bee swarm. So why should you know the difference? one big reason, is the cost involved. A swarm is a congreation of bees, who, when they land, all huddle around the queen to protect her. They're usually smaller and will move on in around a week or two. A hive on the otherhand, is usually larger and white or yellow honeycomb may be visible under the Bees. swarms can be left alone and they'll move on quite soon.

13.01.2022 It's WorkSafe Month 2020 something we take extra serious at Scorpion Pest Mgt. We regularly work at heights, use chemicals and control potentially dangerous pests and animals like wasps nests and snakes. So safety is our #1 priority!! #safeworkmonth #safetytogether

12.01.2022 Hello everyone! Unfortunately our internet is currently down, we're unable to take calls or respond to enquiries at this time.. we're unsure when it will be back up, but leave us a message and we will get back to you ASAP sorry for any inconvenience!

11.01.2022 This is what 500+ Rodent stations looks like and that’s only under half of what’s coming!

11.01.2022 Here we have Argentine ants in a customers retaining wall. They are small dark brown ants, commonly seen outside, and have become a pest all around the world!

11.01.2022 Some shots from our Meth testing service if trace amounts are detected in our initial swabs, these will be sent of to the lab for further testing to confirm if the levels are safe for humans to be around! experts say 1 IN 10 Tasmanian households could have trace amounts of methamphetamine. Prolonged exposure to the chemical residue by living in a contaminated property can cause many short-term health effects, including headaches, skin rashes, eye irritation, persistent coughs and other respiratory problems. Want peace of mind for your rental property, air bnb or your own home? contact us

11.01.2022 If you've had rat problems in the past, or are experiencing them now it is most likely one these! The Norway Rat (or brown rat) is very common in urban areas and the Roof rat (or black rat) is most commonly seen in rural areas & adjacent bushland. (and roof cavities)

10.01.2022 Finally, Winter is over We have been busy bees installing Gutter guard in time for Bird breeding season #DidYouKnow If you had birds in your gutters last season, they will most likely come back again!

10.01.2022 We are in the middle of Summer and the lack of predators and good weather conditions means that the European wasps thrive in Australia. One nest typically has THOUSANDS of wasps!.. #wasptreatment #quickturnaround #summerpests

10.01.2022 Sometimes bird control requires custom solutions, like this one today. Bird protection netting installed for a commercial client to protect their warehouse

10.01.2022 Freezing but still out & about

09.01.2022 Can you believe there is only 5 DAYS left of Winter?? as the weather warms, you will see increased pest populations. As the wet weather also reduces, its the perfect time to get your annual spray!

09.01.2022 The video doesn't do it justice! but Jason said this was the most aggressive wasp nest he has treated in years at Lauderdale beach today!

09.01.2022 Happy Fathers day from the team at Scorpion. Hope all the dads get extra spoilt today

09.01.2022 When you book your pest control service, do you want to talk to someone who REALLY knows their stuff? Office manager Tracey is on her way to completing her Pest control certificate!! a shot from some on the job training in Launceston today

08.01.2022 Woo! we have made it to semi-finalists.

08.01.2022 Some bites, like those from spiders can vary greatly depending on the species. But most insect stings carry individual characteristics. You can see our latest post for the most common Australian insect & spider bites and their symptoms : https://scorpionpest.com.au/insect-bite-sting-identificati/

06.01.2022 Have you seen one of these about? The Blue Ant. (actually a type of Wasp!) They're large and move erratically. They pack a punch too, their sting can cause a severe burning sensation and swelling. But luckily, you don't tend to see them very often.

06.01.2022 The days are warming up and we are filling up quick! Did you have your Spring/Summer pest control done with Scorpion last year? If you're in the same home, don't worry, you will pay the same price this year. #customerlove #pestcontrol

04.01.2022 Today is World Pest Day!! Today we celebrate the important role that pest controllers play behind the scenes. Though not always a flash job, its definitely necessary!

03.01.2022 Snakes are out and about, this snake was seen in Howrah Hill yesterday and it is a friendly reminder to be vigilant when enjoying the outdoors in their environment and with your pets.. Thank you Shane Mundy for allowing us to share your great video with our followers!

03.01.2022 A HUGE congratulations to Scorpions Business Manager Tracey for becoming a Finalist in the 2020 PWAPM business awards!! ... Pest control is undoubtedly a male dominated industry, so the Professional Women in Pest Management association was created to to attract, support & develop women who are thinking of joining or are apart of the Australian Pest Management industry. We're proud to represent Tasmania, and hopefully our involvement will show others that, you too, can enter a...ny industry regardless of your gender. (and do well!) Congrats to the other 5 finalists! what a great achievement it is.

02.01.2022 World Bee Day! We know how much Bee's contribute to the ecosystem. That is why, we will only treat hives if it is inaccessible for beekeepers, or if there is an allergy sufferer in the vicinity!
