The size of the home decides most of it, and the price is fixed before we book. Marsden houses tend to be larger than average because households here are bigger, so a four or five bedroom home takes longer than a small one, and the quote reflects that rather than pretending they are the same job. Ring 1300 545 489, tell us the number of bedrooms and what you are seeing, and you will get a real figure on the call at no cost. This region rates high termite risk with CSIRO, and insurance excludes termite damage entirely. Our 365 Pest Protection Plans spread it over the year.

It makes them faster to establish, which is not the same as harder to treat, but it does change the approach. Marsden households average 3.3 people, the largest of any suburb nearby, and more people means more cooking, more food storage, more bins and more coming and going. German cockroaches breed through three to four generations a year and they live in appliance motors and wall voids, not on the surfaces you can see. So we treat the harbourage: behind and under the fridge, dishwasher and oven, into wall voids and cracks with gel bait and dust. Then we tell you the two or three habit changes that matter, which is usually food storage and bin routine.

Yes, and plenty of tenants here do. A tenant can book and pay for a general pest treatment directly, which is often what the lease requires at the end of a tenancy. Anything structural stays with the owner: termite inspections, barriers, rodent proofing, or anything involving the roof or subfloor. With just over half of Marsden homes rented, we deal with this constantly, so if you are not sure which side it falls on, ring 1300 545 489 and describe the situation. We will tell you straight and give you a quote you can forward to the agent without having to argue the case yourself.

Every twelve months as a floor. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report on your property every year, or more often in high hazard areas. There is a specifically Marsden reason to take it seriously: the suburb was subdivided as farmlets from 1944 with a covenant requiring macadamia planting, so a lot of blocks still carry mature trees and old stumps from that era. Coptotermes acinaciformis occurs throughout Queensland and nests in exactly that. If you have an old orchard tree in the yard, mention it. Book an inspection.

Usually from the yard rather than the pet, which is why treating the animal alone never finishes it. Flea larvae develop in shaded, sheltered soil and litter: under the house, under decks, in mulched garden beds and in the dirt where the dog actually lies during the day. A treatment that covers the interior but ignores those spots leaves the population intact to re-emerge. So we treat inside, then the yard harbourage, and we ask you to keep up the veterinary treatment on the animal at the same time, because the three together is what breaks the cycle. Tell us where the pets sleep and where they lie outside when you book, since that is where we concentrate. See the residential page.

Same day or next, Saturdays included. Marsden is on the regular Logan West run with Browns Plains and Crestmead and it is one of our busier suburbs, so we are usually here anyway rather than making a trip. Ring 1300 545 489 and you get the actual next available slot instead of a place on a list. Flag anything urgent on the call and it moves up: rats in the roof, a wasp nest by the back door, cockroaches through the kitchen. If you are an agent needing access coordinated with a tenant, say so and we will handle the notice and arrangements rather than pushing that back to you.

Twelve months on every general pest treatment, and if the pests we treated for come back inside that window we return and re-treat at no cost. What is covered is what your certificate names: ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish on a standard treatment. Termite work, rodent baiting and bed bugs are quoted and warranted separately because they run to different cycles. Fleas are worth flagging separately too: we warrant the treatment, but ongoing veterinary treatment of the animal is the part we cannot do for you, and without it the cycle restarts. We will explain that before you pay rather than after. Read the detail in our terms and conditions.
