It depends on the size of the home and whether it is detached or a townhouse, and you get a fixed price before we book. Around a quarter of dwellings here are attached, so a townhouse and a four-bedroom family home are different jobs and the quote reflects that. Phone 1300 545 489, tell us what sort of place it is and what you have seen, and the price is locked. Free either way. Worth weighing against it: CSIRO puts Brisbane in a high termite risk zone and termite damage is not insured. Our 365 Pest Protection Plans break it into instalments.

A permanent corridor along your back fence with water, cover and food in it, so the pressure never really drops to zero. Blunder Creek Reserve Nature Refuge runs to twenty hectares with 83.2 per cent residual native cover and 223 recorded species, which is exactly why it is protected and also why you get rodents along the creek line, huntsman and web-building spiders, wasps in the eaves and shed, and mosquitoes from anything holding water. On the termite side, mature native timber within fifty metres of the house is where a colony nests. The practical answer is a shorter inspection cycle and keeping the fence line clear rather than stacking timber against it.

Every twelve months, and six to nine if your boundary is the creek or the reserve. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report on your property every year, or more often in high hazard areas, and Brisbane is one. Which end of the suburb you are in changes the reasoning rather than the interval: older housing from the 1970s and 80s has no working barrier left, while newer estate homes have a current barrier but sit on disturbed soil that often has construction off-cuts buried in it. Book a termite inspection and we will keep the reminder.

Yes, and new homes are the ones owners most often assume are safe. A new build sits on freshly disturbed soil that frequently has construction off-cuts buried in it, which is what makes new buildings vulnerable in their first years. Your builder installed a system to AS 3660.1 with a durable notice in the meter box recording the install date and chemical life. That is a record, not a guarantee, and the National Construction Code says outright a system will not stop termite activity on the site. If you have just landscaped, book sooner.

Because there is a lot of water here. Blunder Creek wraps two sides of the suburb, the headwaters sit in this area, there is a linear park along a tributary, and the eastern part carries wetlands and sand extraction. Brisbane City Council monitors around 2,500 known freshwater breeding sites citywide, and this suburb is inland so it sits outside the coastal aerial program. That means your species mix is freshwater and container breeders. The genuinely useful part: container breeders are largely breeding on private property, so gutters, pot plant bases, bird baths and tank overflows are fixable, and we deal with those plus the vegetation they rest in.

Same day or next, Saturdays included. Doolandella sits between Inala and Forest Lake on our regular run between Brisbane and Ipswich, so it is never a special trip out. On 1300 545 489 we will tell you the true next opening rather than parking you on a list. Flag anything urgent and it moves up: rats in the roof, a wasp nest over the front door, ants suddenly everywhere, or termite damage you have just found. After heavy rain the mosquito and rodent calls climb here because of the creek, so ring earlier in the week if the water has been up.

Twelve months on every general pest treatment. If the pests we treated for come back inside that window we return and re-treat at no cost, no argument. Cover follows the pests named on your certificate, which on a standard job means ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish. Termite work, rodent baiting and bed bugs are quoted and warranted separately because they run on their own cycles. Two local notes: mosquitoes are not warranted where the habitat is a creek and reserve outside your boundary, and rodents or spiders re-entering from that corridor are a re-infestation rather than a treatment failure. Everything is written out in the terms and conditions.
