On the road with Kiki – Episode 8

It’s great to have you here for another episode of On The Road with Kiki. In this series, we take you behind the scenes as pest consultant Kristian travels around Adelaide to assess pest outbreaks in homes and businesses.

His first stop is at Port Noarlunga, where a home owner is concerned about pests causing rotten wood inside the home. Kristian soon discovers that it’s wood rot being mistaken for termite activity, but recommends a routine termite inspection just in case.

Next up is an assessment at a home with busy active possums inside the roof. The client explains that there are hissing, thumping, fighting, chewing and scurrying sounds. Kristian sees possum droppings inside the roof, with a big entry point at the side of the house. His solution is to install a one way door or possum trap to remove the possums, before relocating them nearby in a nesting box.

Kristian follows this job with yet another possum problem, but this time at a car dealership in the Adelaide Hills. With the building being tall, he’ll need to return with some special access equipment so that he can do a proper assessment of the roof.

Then, it’s off to look over a rat outbreak in a roof void at a rental property. Kristian sees clear signs of high rodent activity so organises a quote for the real estate agent to have a baiting system installed to remove the problem.

After a hard day’s work, Kristian heads over to Marion to his favourite coffee shop, D.OSE, for a great pick me up to charge him for the drive home.

Welcome to our latest episode of On the Road with Kiki, where we follow pest consultant Kristian as he makes his way around Adelaide providing pest assessments in homes and businesses.

Today, he starts with a visit to an apartment block with pest pigeons living on an upstairs balcony and around an air conditioning unit. Kristian recommends bird proofing and spiking as the best treatment options.

Then it’s off to check out a house with a possum issue. With fur left behind in the gutter line, it’s clear that the gutters are in urgent need of possum proofing. Kristian plans to put a cage in the roof to trap the culprit possum and then relocate it to a nesting box in a nearby tree.

Kristian then heads to Mollydooker Wines vineyard in McLaren Vale, where sparrows have crept inside small entry points to nest and foul in the roof void of a warehouse.

He ends the day at two separate homes with termites. Located in Flagstaff Hill and Seacliff Park, Kristian suggests using baiting stations above and below the ground to control the outbreak at both properties.

Join us for this latest episode of On the Road with Kiki, where pest consultant Kristian shows us how he tackles pest issues for Allstate clients around Adelaide.

He starts off with a possum problem in Parkside, where he finds possum droppings and entry points that need proofing.

Then, it’s onto a termite assessment where Kristian identifies visible mud tubes, which are a tell tale sign of termite activity. He recommends a thorough inspection throughout the home and yard with a moisture meter, then installing bait stations in active areas and a bait system around the house.

Originally thought to be possums, it turns out a rodent outbreak is the real issue at hand at Kristian’s next job. After an assessment, Kristian confirms finding rodent droppings in the roof void. Since the home owner hasn’t noticed hissing or fighting noises, just scratching, Kristian is confident that rodents are the target pest here.

Now for a much needed coffee break. Kristian decides to stop by Brown Charlie Co in Adelaide CBD. An Allstate client, we get to hear why they enjoy being a part of Allstate’s convenient and simple monthly commercial pest control management program.

To round off the day, it’s a termite inspection at a home with a bait system originally installed by a competitor. Sadly, Kristian finds that many of the bait stations are damaged, so he recommends reactivating the termite baiting system and monitoring them every few months, depending on the amount of termite activity.

Welcome back for another instalment of On the Road with Kiki. This episode features a day on the job with pest consultant Kristian as he visits homes and businesses across Adelaide to help combat all types of pest outbreaks.

Starting the day with a “problem job”, Kristian visits a home to find out how persistent pest birds have managed to bypass entry points that we had previously proofed. He decides that it’s best to consult with the original technician to come up with a more permanent solution.

Next up, it’s a termite assessment in a house attic. Despite water leaks outside the house leading to wood rot, there are thankfully no termites, just ants and spiders which can be prevented with a general crawling insect spray and dust in the roof voids.

Lunch time rolls around and Kristian decides to support another family owned business AND keep it the family. He’s got a hankering for a top-notch schnitzel sandwich at none other than his parents’ café and Allstate client Impressa Café.

After lunch, Kristian heads to a commercial property with a feral cat problem. He comes up with a plan to trap the cats and take them to the Animal Welfare League for rehoming, and also gives a quote for general pests.

Kristian ends the day with a possum assessment at a house with a steep roof and fragile tiles which will need special access equipment. He’ll consult a technician to work out how to safely complete the job.

Welcome to another instalment of On the Road with Kiki, where pest consultant Kristian takes us around Adelaide to help our clients fix their pest problems.

In today’s episode, Kristian tackles termites and pigeons. Though it’s a Friday, pests don’t stop being a nuisance on the weekends. So he starts off with a termite prevention quotation for a new client and discusses options such as a liquid spray and baiting system.

Up next is a pest bird assessment in Flagstaff Hill, where pigeons are roosting on a client’s roof, underneath solar panels and causing damage to the existing solar skirt. Kristian decides the best solution is a trapping program to reduce the size of the flock.

Our next client is Kristian’s good friend Michael, the owner of Storage Boss in Hackham, who needs a quote for pest protection at his business. After a tour of the facility, we measure up to put together a suitable pest management program for him.

To wrap up the day, we’re visiting a previous client who’s recently had some renovations to her home. Although she already has a Kordon termite barrier installed, she wants to make sure that the renovated areas are as best protected as they can be. Kristian assesses her property and prepares some quotes that she can look at over the weekend.

Welcome to our latest episode of On the Road with Kiki. Today, we follow pest consultant Kristian as he travels around to Adelaide to help our clients remove pests from their homes and businesses.

Starting off with a termite assessment, Kristian finds these pesky creatures active in timber yard edging, so it’s likely that they’re already inside the home. He explains how Allstate can set up a protection system that is monitored 3 times a year.

Then, he’s off to our next client’s home, where starling birds have been nesting in the roof space by squeezing through small gaps underneath the roof sheet. Kristian recommends installing a gutter guard to prevent this from happening again once the bird nests have been removed.

After a quick “cheat day” lunch break at KFC, Kristian heads down to beautiful Port Noarlunga South for another starling surprise inside a roof space. This time, though, these small birds are crawling underneath ridge caps.

Before he heads back to the city, Kristian simply can’t resist a quick visit to the beautiful beach on this sunny spring day.

For a much-needed coffee pitstop and catch up with his mates, Kristian swings by his favourite café O.F.P Our Food Project on Goodwood Road, Daw Park before hitting the road again to his last job.

With yet more pests entering roof spaces, possums are the culprit for our final client of the day. Kristian reassures the client that since possums are protected, they are trapped and then relocated to a nesting box that is up to 50m away.

By coincidence, Kristian bumps into a colleague who is preparing to carry out a springtime insect treatment for the same client. To treat spiders and crawling insects, he starts by spraying the outside walls with insecticide.
