Tell creepy crawlies to take a hike! Save money and get the job done right with Kiwicare D.I.Y. pest control products.

 

Summer is our favourite time of year, but there’s a fly in the ointment of seasonal enjoyment – or a wasp, roach, ant or spider. The good news? You can D.I.Y. your way to a bug-free summer at home with professional strength pest control solutions from Kiwicare.

How to get rid of ants

Step 1. Bait: Place small amounts of NO Ants Nest Killer Gel Bait inside and out, wherever ants are seen. They will take the bait back to their nest.

Step 2. Barrier: A week later, follow up with a barrier product like multitasking hero NO Bugs Super Protective Barrier. Spray around potential entry points.

Step 3. Destroy: Target ants nesting in roof spaces or voids with the NO Bugs Super Bug Bomb, which kills 99 per cent of bugs and lasts up to six months.

How to get rid of cockroaches

Step 1. Bait: Place drops of NO Cockroaches Nest Killer Gel Bait 30cm apart, where cockroaches have been seen. Put them on jar lids or masking tape for easy and clean removal.

Step 2. Fumigate: Flush out and kill roaches where they hide with a NO Bugs Super Bug Bomb, perfect for awkward spaces like roof cavities.

Step 3. Barrier: Use NO Bugs Super Protective Barrier to draw a ring around your home, discouraging roaches (and other pests) from crossing the threshold.

How to get rid of spiders

Step 1. Spray: Target webs and spidery nooks with NO Spiders Total Protection Spray. Leave for two to three days before brushing the webs away.

Step 2. Fumigate: Treat spaces like roof voids with a NO Bugs Super Bug Bomb, which protects for up to six months.

Step 3. Clean: Vacuum or brush away webbing, eggs and dead spiders. Then follow up with one more application of NO Spiders Total Protection Spray.

How to get rid of wasps

Step 1. Search: Check the bugs are wasps and not bees. Attract wasps with cat food or tinned fish, watching where they fly after they scoop it up.

Step 2. Destroy: Wait until evening when wasps are less active, and wear protection. Blast with NO Wasps Nest Killer Aerosol from a safe distance of at least two metres.

Step 3. Protect: Deter wasps moving back in again with an application of NO Bugs Super Protective Barrier Spray.

Wondering how to tell a wasp from a bee? Bees have hairs all over their round bodies, while wasps are slimmer, and have little to no hair. Make sure your house guests aren’t bees before you treat their nest.

Health & Safety

Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.

Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer. You can also use a simple test kit from Bunnings to indicate the presence of lead-based paint.
