It depends on whether it is a house or a commercial premises, and you get a fixed price before we book. Hemmant is genuinely split between the two, and a family home south of the line and a warehouse north of it are not remotely comparable jobs, so we quote instead of publishing a number. For commercial work the quote also depends on frequency, since a quarterly schedule prices differently to a one-off. Ring 1300 545 489 and describe the property. Free either way. On value for homeowners: CSIRO places Brisbane in a high termite risk zone and termite damage is uninsured.

Because Hemmant sits on genuinely significant mosquito breeding habitat, and it is one of only two suburbs on this side of Brisbane that council names by name in its aerial treatment notices, alongside Tingalpa and Bulimba Creek. Bulimba Creek forms the western boundary and the Brisbane River the northern, both tidal. Council targets the saltmarsh mosquito with Bti and methoprene and runs helicopter treatments after significant tidal or rainfall events. That is the good news: the big habitat is being handled. What is left is the water on your own block, which is where we come in.

More moisture findings than chemical ones, honestly. Tidal river ground holds water, and a subfloor that never fully dries between events is a subfloor termites will find. CSIRO identifies timber in ground contact, poor drainage and low subfloor clearance as key structural risk factors, and damp also suits silverfish and gives rodents shelter. So on a river-side Hemmant property we read the moisture before anything else, and a good share of what ends up on the report is drainage work you can do yourself: reconnect the downpipe, clear the silted stormwater, restore subfloor airflow, get stored timber off the ground.

Every twelve months at a minimum, and six to nine on the low river ground or an older home in the village core. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report on your property every year, or more often in high hazard areas. Hemmant has fabric going back to the 1860s alongside much later housing, so the answer genuinely differs street to street, and persistent subfloor moisture on tidal ground is a documented conducive condition. Book a termite inspection and we will keep the reminder.

Yes, and it is a substantial part of our work in this suburb. The northern half of Hemmant is industrial and port-related, and warehousing near a port brings its own profile: rodents from the corridor, cockroaches in amenities blocks and lunch rooms, birds in high-bay roof spaces, and stored product pests where food-grade goods are held. We attend after hours so operations are not interrupted, map and number rodent stations, use cockroach monitors for trend data, and hand over food-safety compliant documentation the same day so it is ready when an auditor asks. See commercial pest control or ring 1300 545 489.

Same day or next, Saturdays included, and after hours for commercial sites. Hemmant is a short run off the Gateway on our regular bayside route, so it is easy to reach. Ring 1300 545 489 and you will be given the actual next available appointment rather than a place on a list. Flag anything urgent and it moves up: rats in the roof, a wasp nest by the door, cockroaches through a lunch room. For a food premises with an active problem, say so, because that is a compliance issue with a deadline rather than an inconvenience.

Twelve months on every general pest treatment. If the pests we treated for return inside that window we come back and re-treat at no cost, without a debate. Cover follows the pests named on your certificate, which on a standard residential job means ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish. Termite work sits apart, as do rodent baiting and bed bugs, each quoted on its own terms. Two Hemmant specifics: mosquitoes are not warranted, because the breeding habitat is tidal creek and river that council itself treats from the air, and scheduled commercial programs work on continuous service rather than a warranty period. Everything is written out in the terms and conditions.
