Acreage is quoted on the property rather than a standard rate, because block size and the number of outbuildings matter more here than floor area. Call 1300 545 489, tell us roughly how much land there is and what structures sit on it, and what we quote is what you pay. Getting a quote costs nothing.

That was the reputation. Queensland Places records that the local timber industry grew up around extensive stands of what was called white ant resistant mountain beech, so people were logging here specifically for timber believed to resist termites. It is a lovely piece of local history and a useful cautionary tale, because no timber in South East Queensland is genuinely immune, and a house built from resistant species still has plenty of other material in it that is not.

More of everything the forest supports, arriving along your boundary. That means spiders and rodents using the bush as permanent habitat, more wasp and ant activity, snakes moving through in the warmer months, and a serious termite risk from stumps, fallen timber and mature trees inside foraging range. This is also active koala habitat, which affects how we work: we are selective about product placement near the boundary rather than applying broadly. Tell us what wildlife you see regularly when you book.

Every twelve months at absolute minimum, and every six to nine months on a bush-adjoining block. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report on a property every year, or more often in high hazard areas and CSIRO national termite survey identifies this region as high hazard. Book a termite inspection and we will hold your reminder.

Yes, more than people expect. The creeks around Mount Cotton are dry or reduced to isolated waterholes for much of the year and flow underground instead. Subsurface moisture is still there and still available to a termite colony, even when the bed looks completely dry from above. A dry-looking creek line is not a reason to relax about the boundary nearest it.

Yes, and they are included rather than charged as extras. On acreage, sheds, garages, pump houses and stacked firewood are usually the first structures a colony reaches, and they sit far enough from the house that nobody looks in them for months at a time. Inspecting only the house on a block this size does not tell you what you need to know.

Every general pest treatment carries twelve months, and anything named on your certificate that reappears within that time is re-treated at no cost. Termite jobs and rodent baiting are quoted apart and warranted apart. The complete detail sits in our terms and conditions.
