Many people know and refer to termites as white ants. Both terms are correct. Termites/White Ants are a big problem in Australia and South East Queensland is especially prone due to its sub tropical climate. The term white ant is due to the colour of the workers. Termites/White Ants eat timber & wood products and as such are the largest threat to our biggest asset, our homes. Termites/White Ants do their damage secretly as they primarily come from the ground and can enter your home entirely unseen, often going undiscovered until vast amounts of damage have been done.

Your best defence against Termites/White Ants is to have an inspection each and every year and to protect your home against infestation with an approved termite protection such as a Termite/White Ant barrier.

Queensland has many species of spiders ranging from web spinning spiders such as the Golden Orb and the St Andrews Cross to ground spiders such as the Huntsman, the Trapdoor and the Garden Wolf Spider. Many of our spiders are quite harmless, though most of us find them very unsightly, however we do have many spider species that are poisonous to humans, some even deadly. These are spiders such as the Red Back, The White Tail and the Black House spider to name but a few. It’s simple to keep your home spider free. Ask us how when we do your next general pest treatment.

We use a combination of gel and spray to ensure the best possible result for you. Our spray is very low toxicity and odourless so no more of that awful chemical smell!! Many technicians use only a gel or a spray but we choose to use both as it provides the most effective treatment.

The best way to treat ants is to have a licensed technician spray the nest however, this is not always possible so spraying around the area where ants are seen can also be an effective method as the treatment can be picked up and taken back to the nest by the ants in the colony.

Another effective ant control measure is to have the inside and outside of the home treated for ants in your annual general pest treatment.

Green ants (weaver ants) are arboreal and are known for their unique nests in trees. They make their nests by sticking leaves together with a sticky substance to form a ball like nest.

Large numbers of arboreal colonies can occupy surrounding trees. Hundreds can be found in greenery in suburban areas. Outdoor activities are hampered by the danger of being bitten, especially if you have an allergy or sensitivity to them.

Rats and mice live near and inhabit all types of residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Rats cause serious damage to electrical and plumbing fittings in buildings. Rats incisor teeth continuously grow throughout their life span. Therefore, rats need to gnaw on items to control the growth of the teeth. Dishwasher hoses, water pipes, car and house wiring are some of the more common items damaged by rats.

Silverfish are small insects that infest the home. They are nocturnal and often go undetected. Silverfish are shy and will hide away from people. They feed on common household items such as books, photographs, documents and even wallpaper along with other foods found in most homes. They also feed on clothing, curtains, linen, soap, glue, dust etc. They often inhabit moist areas like bathrooms, laundries and basements but can be found in almost any room of the home. Many people don’t know they have a silverfish problem until they find damaged clothing or other items.

They breed rapidly which means left untreated they can cause an extensive infestation resulting in significant damage to household items.A professional treatment for silverfish is easy and effective.
