Our Sustainability Impact Areas

At the core of our sustainability strategy are three key environmental impact areas fundamental to our contribution towards a more sustainable world. These impact areas focus on protecting biodiversity, preventing pest-borne diseases, and reducing property loss and food waste. We are uniquely positioned to have a positive impact in these areas through our SMART-enabled, preventative pest control methodology.

Positively Impacting The World We Operate In With Our Eco-Friendly Pest Control Practices
Flick Pest Control Protects Local Biodiversity

Protect Local Biodiversity

Traditional pest control methods using toxic rodenticides are devastating Australia & New Zealand’s wildlife. These ‘second-generation’ poisons create ‘walking time bombs’ – rodents that consume lethal doses before dying, then poison the hawks, owls, magpies, quolls and Tasmanian devils that prey on them. The toxic cycle affects entire food webs, from small predators to apex species like wedge-tailed eagles.

The danger extends beyond wildlife to our beloved family pets. Dogs and cats that hunt or scavenge poisoned rodents face the same deadly secondary poisoning risks and can suffer severe internal bleeding and organ damage.

Our SMART technology eliminates this deadly cycle by using non-toxic, humane methods that protect both your property and its surrounding environment, as well as Australia and New Zealand’s precious wildlife.

Mosquito Pest Control

Preventing Spreading of Pest Borne Diseases

Human health is threatened by pests carrying harmful germs. Scientists estimate that more than six out of every ten known infectious diseases in people are spread from pests and animals, and three out of every four new or emerging infectious diseases come from animals. Poor pest management creates breeding grounds for disease vectors that threaten public health. When pest populations grow unchecked, they increase disease transmission risks from salmonella and E.coli to more severe diseases like Hantavirus and Leptospirosis. Controlling pests – particularly through early detection and preventative root cause treatment – significantly reduces the risk of severe and harmful pest infestations and the spread of these diseases.

Flick Pest Control Prevents Property Loss

Reduce Property Loss and Food Waste

Pests contaminating food processing chains cause significant food loss every year. Rodents force entire batches to be discarded and damage production lines, creating costly stoppages and unnecessary emissions. Contaminated products often end up in landfills, releasing methane – a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Detecting and combating pests early with our solutions leads to less contamination and damage in the value chain, reducing waste and associated environmental impact.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We also understand that our success relies on competent and engaged personnel. Therefore, our strategy includes focus areas to ensure Flick remains a preferred employer, providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our team members across Australia and New Zealand.
