Pest control Mount Pleasant & Springton

Pest control in Mount Pleasant & Springton

Looking for pest control in Mount Pleasant or Springton? Insect Invasion is a local, family-run pest controller, and the high country on the eastern edge of the Barossa is regular work for us. Garry and his son Josh treat homes, farms, sheds and businesses in Mount Pleasant, Springton and the properties around them for spiders, ants, rats and mice, earwigs and millipedes, flies and cockroaches.

Up in the ranges, Mount Pleasant and Springton sit higher, cooler and wetter than the valley floor, with grazing country running right up to the back fence. Homes are a mix of old stone cottages in town and farmhouses, lifestyle blocks and hobby farms outside it, and nearly all of them come with sheds, hay, rainwater tanks and woodpiles.

That shapes the pests. Hay sheds, feed stores and machinery give mice and rats everything they need, and autumn is when they move in. Flies build up around sheep and cattle yards through summer. Redbacks love tanks, troughs and stacked timber. And in the cooler, damper climate, earwigs and Portuguese millipedes are a bigger autumn problem than they are down on the valley floor, while spiders shelter in the deep eaves of the stone cottages.

Springton, a little further north towards Eden Valley, is the same mix of small township and farmland, and it's covered on the same runs as Mount Pleasant. Whether you call it pest control, a pest spray, a pest controller or an exterminator, the process doesn't change: call Garry, describe what you're seeing, and get a free quote with one all-inclusive price before any work starts.

Mount Pleasant pests through the year

The ranges run a little behind the valley floor: spring arrives later and autumn bites earlier. Here's what usually turns up, and when.

Spring (September to November)

Spiders get busy in the eaves, sheds and woodpiles as it warms up, and ants start trailing inside once the ground dries out.

Spider controlAnt control

Summer (December to February)

Flies build up around stock yards, sheds and outdoor areas, and mosquitoes breed in troughs, dams and tank overflows. Cockroaches are at their most active in the heat.

Autumn (March to May)

Mice and rats move into hay, feed and machinery sheds early here as the nights get cold, and the autumn rains bring earwigs and Portuguese millipedes in large numbers.

Winter (June to August)

Rodents in roofs and sheds are the main winter call. Book a yearly treatment now so it's in place before spring.
