GET RID OF POSSUMS OR RATS YOUR ROOF

Spring is the time that you may get possums in your roof they return to where the source is and use the space to shelter and raise their young.

While it may not cause too much trouble with just a few in the roof it may will cause you many sleepless nights when the whole family start fighting or mating.

Also with all of the building that is now happening in Canberra there are many times when builders seal the entry not knowing that there is a possum in the roof and its not too long that the possum die and the smell becomes unbearable.

We have had clients and this isn’t pleasant where maggots drop from the light fittings where the possum has died.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A POSSUM DIES IN YOUR ROOF

Only yesterday (Sunday) Bob took a call from a home owner where it was a slight smell then the smell got increasingly worse as the body of the possum decayed.

We can also get this happening when people throw baits in the roof when they think that it will kill the rodent and it does but they can not escape and die.

1) Ring Bob 0407 065 413
2) The team will remove the dead possum/rat
3) Put an odour bag up that will absorb the smell NOT mask it.

Problem solved!

A1 Pest Control Canberra, Get Rid of Termites, Spiders & Creepy Crawlies

What I love about our pest control company in Canberra is that we are a family owned business that has customers that think enough of us that they write reviews to tell others of their pest control experience that they got from Bob and his team. One of the main things that stand us apart from our competitors is our customer service and how we spend the time to update and educate our customers.

We are an Australian company not sold out to overseas companies like some of our competitors that are playing on the fact that they use to be wholly Australian owned and now owned entirely by overseas companies – which is sad.

Services that we provide:

• Termite Thermal imaging inspections – access or weather is never a problem
• Termite barriers with $2million 8 year assurance policy
• General pest treatment – both family and pet friendly
• Possum removal
• European Wasp removal
• Dead rat removal – with odour bags that don’t mask the smell they absorb the odours
• Bed Bug detection and removal
• End of lease – we will even return the key to the agent!

We are there when you need us to be this may mean that you need us to not to disturb your day to day work routine so we will work outside normal 9-5 work hours which is ideal for our e-commence clients.

Customer service is the name of the game and many of our competitors will give a 4-5 hour window of when they will be there. A1 Pest Control Canberra will be there at an appointment time. Also another thing is that all staff has had Police checks.

If we can be of assistance for any pest control needs please call Bob 0407 065 413 or contact us through our website contact form at http://A1PestControlCanberra.com.au

Need a Virtual Assistant? The Story of How It Happened

For me as I head into a milestone birthday I look back on past milestones and think back how strong I am through all that is thrown at me I rise and will not bow down to challenges I am a fighter and always get back up no matter how many times knocked down. The following is not a boo hoo woo is me it just shows to me that I am learning life lessons.

On my 40^th year it was one of the toughest and one that you never get over it was when my son and his mate were killed in a car accident even when you think I am fine a song a place or a friend of my son will bring tears to my eyes when I remember how much I miss him, the whole in my heart remains to this day. In the same year I lost my dog and a close friend to car accidents.

But you know you just get on with life you have to and I went on to work with adolescent boys as housemother in a boarding school which made my heart sing and had me laughing and at  times crying with them as I got involved as like a surrogate mother in their lives.

This time was one of my happiest times I can remember. I rarely went out but I accepted an invite to a friend’s wedding where I was to meet my future husband and we lived at the school where he went to work on his bike and returned home in the evening.

Over this time I had managed to grow a portfolio of 4 homes and started a renovation company where my husband was able to help out with many of the tasks I even had my own tool belt and I was no stranger to a drill, hammer or screwdriver all was good.

We were only married 3 months when my husband was involved in a serious motorbike accident that I attended as it was right in front of the school where we lived. The accident degloved his foot and his leg broke fibia, tibia and femur. 6 months in hospital 12 operations and he could not work any longer.

I was left as the main bread earner at a time when the real estate bubble burst I had a husband at the hospital and creditors knocking at my door I can remember it that sinking feeling and what the stress was like back then the thought of how difficult it was and knowing the buck stopped with me with no support from a husband that needed to focus on getting better and the amount of physiotherapy that was needed to get him to walk again.

I knew nothing else other than to work hard, write to my creditors and to be honest with them in what was happening rather than have my head in the sand that gave me a little wriggle room to learn Internet marketing and try to forge ahead to earn extra income.

The struggle I had was not that I wasn’t ready to learn it was making stuff work and have funds coming in rather than going out. It was with a coach that things started to move forward it was 12 months before I started to earn a regular income, the more I earned the more I invested in myself in the way of mentors coaches and courses.

Today, I have built a company with the help of a business coach that is rock solid, I help businesses grow by supplying them with expert virtual assistants that are there to do the grunt work for them to free them up so that they can think of other creative ways to grow their business. They are no longer in the trenches and have really clawed back more time.

I am now in a place of gratitude thankful for the journey along the way that has given me knowledge to know what it feels like to have struggled but now its the time for me to select the people I want to work with in the way of different business partners, I have come to realise that the people that I am aligned with are the exact reflection of me in my outlook and the longing I have to keep helping people grow.

I look forward now to the next milestone birthday as life just keeps getting better no matter how many hiccups that I have along the way.

How is your business going? Outsourcing will save you dollars and your sanity!

I will be talking about outsourcing and the steps to take to have your own virtual assistant.

At the start of the year every year people set down goals for themselves, many goals whether personal or business are never reached while some throw in the towel and if the goal was to lose weight they feel that they have failed and go back to eating unhealthily that got them overweight in the first place.

For business owners though there are many things that you could be doing to increase the bottom line. It’s not enough that you didn’t reach the goals but the whole idea that you are in business is to keep on improving in every area. One of the main things that hold small business owners back is the fact that they are doing everything themselves under the false impression that they are saving money.

While business the owner thinks that they are saving pennies it’s really a false saving as they could free themselves up from doing the admin type tasks and concentrate on building their empire with money making activities.

For one moment look at the day to day activities that you are doing – for example:

• Sorting through emails and answering emails
• Filling orders if its e-commerce
• Bookkeeping
• Answer calls
• Customer service tasks
• Wages
• Invoicing
• Diary planning
• Scheduling appointments
• Social Media (biggest time suck)
• Article writing
• Blog posting
• Keeping updated with new trends
• SEO
• Marketing and placing ads

Looking back over this list you may see some of the things that you are currently doing each of listed tasks can be outsourced. There is no time or room in your day for creative thinking or money making activities to grow your business.

What does it take to outsource?

I get asked this daily, and looking at the list you would not find the one virtual assistant to do all the tasks, that is why to have a bigger virtual assistant company like Need a VA that have 9-10 different arms of the business and a project manager to work between you and the virtual assistants getting your tasks done easily.

Training

Although they all have the skill sets that you need to do your tasks your business is unique to you no 2 business are run the same way so yes you will need to spend time either speaking to the project manager or videotaping for your virtual assistant to be able to see and understand the tasks she will be performing.

For us to better understand your business we would love to get in contact with you either through our website http://needava.com or to have a Skype conversation – jenny.jordan22

6 Billion Searches on Google Daily – Can your business be found?

These people searching what will they find?

It depends on you, let me ask you the following questions:.

• Ask yourself: Will your site pop up to some of the targeted search queries?
• Can you make people click through to your landing page?
• Can you meet the needs and desires already in their head?
• Will they convert to sales?

If you answered “no” to any of the above questions, you have some work to do…

Quickly.

By the time you finish reading this post, another couple million have searched. A portion of them, probably interested in your offer.

So here’s what to do about it…

Using Google AdWords, you can get in front of your audience right when they’re looking for you.
You just have to help them solve their problem. See, it’s probably the only place left online where customers don’t mind the ads. Because AdWords ads can be just as useful as organic search results.

That’s why people CAN double their website visitors and convert them into paying customers almost overnight.

You just need the right strategy that gets you there.

If you don’t know what you are doing its a big money suck BUT if you have people that are accredited and do this for a living contact us by PM me or info@needava.com

PEST CONTROL CANBERRA – SPRING IS HERE…SO ARE THE PESTS!

Nothing like the start of spring that makes everything grow and the insects and pests start tobe noticed again.

TERMITES

Termites are the silent pests and you really are not aware that they are around until you see evidence or damage first hand. If you are out in the garden take a look at trees, fence lines or the tree you cut down and left the stump as that is what they love – soft wood. People are under the impression that insurance covers the damage these pests cause and 99% insurance policies DO NOT cover termite damage.

We offer a $2M 8 year assurance policy when we do our termite barriers so definitely worth getting us to inspect and or treat your property as we use only quality treatments.

EUROPEAN WASPS

We get a lot of call outs for these pest and if there is one thing I will say is DON’T disturb them at all we have protective clothing and they still manage to sting us. What happens is that when disturbed the whole nest attacks and unlike bees who sting once they sting multiple times.

If your in the garden be careful as European wasps nest can sometimes be underground. We had a nest that was the size of a basketball that we removed last season.

BEES

We know that bees are in the news at the moment and we always refer our calls to beekeepers to remove unwanted nests but there are times when bees can not be accessed and they become a risk to humans when they are inside walls and hard to get to places and we need to kill them so that they don’t sting humans and pets.

GENERAL PEST INSPECTION

Like spring cleaning now is a great time to treat your property with a general pest treatment. We get asked about spiders and we can treat those for you and will spray their webs, many people though get a broom after we go to take down the web not thinking the treatment will be active for many weeks to come to new spiders that visit the web. So leave the web up for 3-5 weeks for longer term treatment.

Call Bob 0407 065 413 for all your pest needs or go to our website at http://A1PestControlCanberra.com.au

Why You Need Web Development Services

A simple question to be asked first: What is a website? In its bare form, a website is a single domain that consists of different web pages. We should all know that by now, but surprisingly what we don’t all know, is the benefits a website can provide for your business and it’s shocking to witness how many business don’t actually have a website or online presence!

If you have a business and don’t have a website, you are losing out on great opportunities for your business. A website itself can be used to accomplish many different marketing strategies to help your business grow. As a business owner, you need to know where your consumers are. But what if consumers know your business and what you can offer, but they can’t reach you? That is one of the risks you take by not having a website for your business.

Read the terms of service when dealing with web development services companies who offer “unlimited” services. Many times web hosts will offer unlimited bandwidth or sometimes hard disk space. Read the terms carefully, as they may reserve the right to ask you to upgrade your plan, if you are a higher profile customer, that has increased usage.

What are some other benefits of having a business website?

Cost Effective

You know exactly how much your website is going to cost you and it’s ongoings – a brick and mortar store, on the other hand, is susceptible to many out of the ordinary occurrences which could blow out the costs such as leaving the lights on, theft, damage, extra staff etc.

Accessible around the clock

Your website and social media accounts are accessible 24/7/365. Imagine that you want to buy from a store. You put in all the effort required to go to the store, but when you get there, it’s closed. We all know how irate we feel in that situation. You’ll think twice about going back given the bad taste its left (ok might have been your fault for not checking but hey, this is proving the point here!). You will just find another store that is more easily accessible.

Convenient

What is more convenient: driving outside to look for different stores that are available to shop in, or sitting in the comfort of your own home and shopping for the products you’re looking for? Pretty obvious answer, unless you like aimlessly driving around. Smart businesses realise this and thus have their own website housing their products and services so that potential customers can browse online for the products they want to purchase.

Consider using a web development service to help you save money. This does mean, however, that ads will be appearing on your site, and also your storage space will be limited too.
 
Credibility

By building a website you are giving your business the opportunity to tell consumers why they should trust you and the testimonials and facts to back up those opportunities. Believe it or not, most people will search the internet for a product or service before the purchase to check the credibility first. When you provide good service or product, positive word-of-mouth about your business is likely to spread. Which in turn, delivers more repeat and new business.

Lastly, knowledge is power when it comes to web design and web development services. Take the necessary time to do some research and find out what is best for you. Remember, you can always outsource this project to web designers, but it will be costly!

If you want an effective service while at the same time spending the most out of your money, check out Needava Solutions now! Rest assured that you will be able to get professional web development services from us!
