Brisbane Carpet Cleaning Blog

You may be moving from Nerang to Broadbeach or Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise. Wherever you may be moving from on the Gold Coast, All Aces Services can take the hassle out of organising your move out cleaning, pest control and/or bond cleaning. Perhaps you have purchased a new home and would like the carpets cleaned and sanitised before you move in. This is not a problem for us either.

We all know how annoying moving house can be. There’s the packing, organising a removalist, cleaners, carpet cleaning, pest control and the list goes on. It can be a very stressful time and we want to make life a little easier for you. Imagine being able to call one phone number to organise your carpet cleaning, pest control and move out cleaning. All Aces Services is one company that is going to 100% guarantee you that if the services are not carried out to the highest possible standard we will re-clean it for you at no extra charge. If your real estate manager is still not 100% satisfied with the clean we will refund your money 100%.

All Aces Services does about 3 to 5 re-cleans a week on the Gold Coast resulting from dodgy carpet cleaning operators. Having to pay twice for a carpet clean due to incorrect practices isn’t something you want when moving.

We are great value for money, as you only pay for the service once not twice. Our carpet cleaning technicians are all fully qualified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration. This is extremely important to ensure you are receiving a quality service from a qualified company that is not going to over wet the carpet, will clean with the correct cleaning methods and equipment and will guarantee their work.

We specialise in pest control and move out cleaning for vacating tenants.

Please call All Aces Services today on 1800 00 10 10 to discuss your move out cleaning requirements.

The area of Pest Control covers many types of creatures.

Moth damage close up

You’re vacuuming your rug and you have noticed some of the fibres are starting to pull away as you vacuum. You get down on your hands and knees and you see bald patches or a web like pattern on your rug like the ones in the photos. What can this be?

I’m sorry to say your rug has become dinner for our pesky friends the carpet moth and carpet beetle.

Pest Control for Moths

They do their damage in the larval stage where they are (horror of horrors) little maggot like creatures. Moth larvae can cause damage to a rug in a matter of weeks. They eat just the woollen fibre and leave a web like pattern. Moths rarely infest rugs that are in regular use. They prefer to be left alone and usually seek out rugs that are being stored or find spots that are under the furniture. They also prefer dark places. So a rug that is walked on and vacuumed regularly is hardly at risk.

Rugs or sections of rugs covered by furniture must be disturbed from time to time to prevent moths from settling in. This means moving furniture off the rugs every several months or so and vacuuming. When doing pest control inspection on a rug for moths, remember that most moth damage is to the back of a rug where moths are least likely to be disturbed. So examine the back of the rug and look for moths, moth larvae or the webbing they leave behind. (as shown in the photos)

Pest Control for Carpet Beetles

They lay eggs in dust and lint in dark, hard to access places. Both the adults and larvae eat wool rugs (and sometimes silk rugs), but most damage is done by the larvae. While moths eat through wool rugs leaving a web like pattern, carpet beetles eat right through the rug, cotton foundation and all.

If you find your rug has been infested by moths or beetles we have pest control technicians based in the Sunshine Coast region, Brisbane area and the Gold Coast. You are more than welcome to bring your rug straight to our factory at Murarrie where our qualified technicians can assess the problem and find a solution to solve this problem. Contact All Aces Services today for solutions to your carpet moth and beetle problems.

Whether you live in Carindale, Calamvale, Chermside or Coolum you will find that each home in every suburb will have at least one problem with pests. Pests do not discriminate against suburbs or workplaces; they can sneak into any home or business causing all sorts of problems. You may not even realise the pests are there until a piece of computer equipment is not working, caused by a rodent chewing through the cords or an odour occurs in your ceiling. Unfortunately this was a problem at a school we recently attended, disrupting regular classes. Pests can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage as well as causing illnesses.

When your home or business is left untreated you may be putting yourself and others at risk. Some of the risks that may occur when a property has not had regular pest control treatments are food contamination, damage to your belongings, carpet or fabric, serious illnesses and allergy problems.

All Aces Services have licensed (through QLD Health) and experienced Pest control operators in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast. We can treat your home for Fleas, Ants, Rats, Mice, Spiders (Red Backs), Carpet Beetles, Bed Bugs, Cockroaches and Silverfish.

We also have maintenance programs available for controlling pests in commercial businesses. They can be any sized business from small cafes to large shopping centres. This will take the hassle out of you organising your pest control. Our solutions are environmentally approved. This is the way of the future.

Our qualified technicians will identify the pest problems in your home or business and explain the process they will undertake to remove them. A report will be provided with recommendations, let you know of any problem areas there may be and if a follow up service is required.

Our attitude and approach to pest control relies on:

1. An understanding of the ecology of the pest
2. Various non-chemical approaches that will make the environment less suited to the development of the pest population
3. It may involve, in the control program, the judicious and sensitive use of pesticides, when necessary

As you can see we have the solutions to your pest problems. Please contact All Aces Services on 1800 00 10 10 to organise a pest control operator to attend your home or business.

At All Aces Services it is very common for us to get calls about carpet moths or beetles eating client’s carpets and rugs. We recently had a phone call from a potential client. She was very stressed as she had been doing some clearing out of her cupboards and had noticed that her carpet in some areas had holes in it. As she took a closer look she could also see the carpet was very weak in some areas. Much to her disgust she realised that the carpet had been attacked by carpet beetles.

Carpet moths or beetles prefer to eat foods from animal products, such as skins, furs, feathers, wool, hair and dead insects, but they also eat cotton to some extent. Carpet beetles and clothes moths seem to like the keratin which is a component of animal hair. This is found in certain materials which include wool, fur and feathers

Our client was located on the south side of Brisbane. She did the right thing and rang All Aces Services as soon as she discovered the problem. We sent one of our qualified technicians to clean the carpet first and we obviously took a lot of great care around the areas where the carpet beetle had already damaged the carpet. Once the carpet was nice and clean we sent Matt who is our qualified pest control technician. He completed a thorough pest control treatment of the entire house. The client was ecstatic with how easy it was to resolve her situation. Also her mind was now at ease as we will complete her carpet clean and pest control every 12 months so her carpet is kept in pristine condition and we can avoid any more damage.

Next time you notice that something like this has happened to your beautiful wool carpet, immediately call a professional pest control service and carpet cleaner. All Aces Services can provide these services so call us today on 1800 00 1010.

Carpets should always be maintained. The biggest concern I have, especially as the Commercial and Residential Coordinator, is that companies and people wait till their carpets look dirty before having them cleaned. One of my major goals at All Aces Services is to put companies on a maintenance cleaning plan.

My latest success story was a company located in Brisbane at Paddington. They booked in to have their carpets cleaned as a one off but the carpets had not been cleaned in years. We sent Jai one of our most experienced and qualified technicians to clean their carpets.

Upon cleaning the carpets it was noted that the water was coming out black! You can imagine that this not only not good for the life the carpets but nor is it very hygienic. I approached them after the carpets had been cleaned. Little to say they were horrified in realising how dirty and how unhygienic their carpets were. With the feedback from the tech we have now a maintenance plan in place to have their carpets cleaned quarterly.

It is stressful enough running a business especially with added worry of knowing when carpets, pest control, air conditioners and coffee machines etc need to be serviced. We take that worry out of it for you by putting together your own personalised maintenance plan and contacting you every 3 or 6 months to organise your maintenance clean. You will now add years of life to your carpet and know that your carpet is constantly clean and hygienic for your staff and clients.

Be sure to call All Aces Services so we can put together your own maintenance plan. Whether it is for carpets, pest control, vinyl, tiles or upholstery we do it all and at a discounted rate for 6 and 3 month contracts.  Call us now on 1800 00 1010 as we are waiting to take your call.

There are many types of pests that can cause problems around the home.  In particular, there are two main kinds that are of most concern: Clothes Moths and Carpet Beetles.  These pests prefer to eat keratin – they will munch through wool, hair and feathers, however, they will also attack fibres such as cotton and linen.

Despite their names…. Clothes Moths can eat carpet and Carpet Beetles can eat clothes… so its best to watch out for all of them!

Clothes Moths can attack clothes that have been stored for a period of time or blankets that have been stored for the summer.  You may find small irregular holes in your knitted goods where the insect has eaten through the yarn.  The insect will leave droppings around the damaged area.

Carpet Beetles will bury deep into the carpet’s foundation and in some cases, the infestation may go unnoticed for some time.  Check for loose pile or eaten areas of the carpet and any insect debris such as cocoons or cast skins.  You will notice damage to the fibre when vacuuming as the carpet pile will come away in small tufts.

Some good housekeeping practices around the home will help in controlling carpet moths.  It is recommended to look under heavy furniture regularly and vacuum underneath these items.  You should also vacuum along all skirtings.  Any large infestations will require a licenced pest controller to attend in order to spray infested areas.  Examine walls, behind furniture and picture frames to see if any cases are present also.

When storing clothes or blankets for several months is is recommended that the clothes are washed or dry cleaned and stored in tightly sealed plastic bags. If eggs are present in some items, washing the clothes in hot water can kill off the eggs.

By maintaining good household practices including regular checks around the home you should be able to stay on top of the little critters!
