Shaun reacts to viewer stories about pest control disasters, including cockroach infestations that ruined clothing and stored items in Australia and America.
If they're out in the open like that, I'd hate to think how many cockroaches are actually infested in this property. Yep, very common when it comes to clothes and stored items. Materials like a cotton wool. We have a lot of insects. Their food source is. Is our clothes. So full of. Full of holes. Now, whether this is actually from insects or not, I guess we'd have to have a look at all the other items of clothes that are stored with it to get a better indication, because what can actually happen from. From experience have found out that once there was a washing machine where the little holes in the washing machine, the fabric was actually getting caught in those and just ripping the fabric itself. And that client thought that they actually had a insect problem, which further investigation, which is what we do, go out there and find out if that is the problem. We found out that it wasn't the problem. So clothes, moth, silverfish, that type of thing. Very common for that, for them to eat your clothes. So got to keep them out of dark, dead, damp areas, Air out your clothes all the time to prevent that sort of stuff from happening. Wow. Okay. So hopefully this isn't something that's a regular occurrence, particularly here in Australia. I'm gonna guess that this might be from America. Not something that I can say that I've ever seen before. A rodent station that's got a stashed in it. Okay, nice. Yeah. Well, not too many people are gonna look in that rodent station for a. I've seen lots of other items in rodent stations before. Like in Australia, we might deal with snakes and lizards. I guess they have other problems in. So keep your eyes out, I suppose. So a cockroach infestation. Cockroaches love warmth, so they'll hang around electrical equipment, plugs, extension cords, like this one is here. In big groups like this, they feed each other. They're very communal, so they hang out in areas like this very often. So not uncommon to see. And when you get to this point, that's when you know you got a problem. If they're out in the open like that. I'd hate to think how many cockroaches are actually invested in this property.
