It depends on the home and what we find once we inspect. Ring 1300 545 489, describe the property, and the quote we give you is what you pay, with no charge for the quote. Tell us if you back onto the ridge reserve or the river parkland, because both change what we look for and how often we would suggest inspecting.

No, and this is worth correcting because it gets repeated constantly. Mount Warren Park is on the Albert River, which forms the eastern and southern boundaries along with Windaroo Creek, a tributary of the Albert. Beenleigh is on the Logan, which is probably where the confusion starts. It matters for us because the Albert and Windaroo Creek are what actually drive moisture, mosquito and termite conditions on this side of the suburb.

Red-necked wallabies and koalas have both been recorded on the ridge, and where there is habitat that supports those there is everything else as well. Practically it means more spiders working the fence line, rodents using the reserve as permanent shelter, more wasp activity, and mature timber sitting inside termite foraging range of your house. It is a good reason to keep the rear boundary clear of stacked timber and clippings and to inspect on a shorter cycle, not a reason to be concerned about living there.

Twelve months as the minimum, and every six to nine months where you adjoin the reserve or the river parkland. The QBCC treats an annual inspection as the baseline in high hazard areas and CSIRO’s national survey assigns this region a high hazard rating. Book a termite inspection and we will keep the reminder.

It is common here and worth doing something about. Most of this suburb was built between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s, and any chemical barrier installed then finished its working life a long time ago. A house that has gone decades without an inspection is not necessarily in trouble, but nobody knows either way until someone looks, and the cost of finding out is trivial compared with the cost of finding out late.

Usually same day or next, Saturdays included. Being just up from Beenleigh keeps this an easy suburb for us to reach. Call 1300 545 489 and say if anything is urgent, whether that is a wasp nest at a doorway, scratching in the roof, or damage you have just uncovered.

A full twelve months on every general pest treatment, with free re-treatment of anything named on your certificate that comes back inside the year. Termite work and rodent baiting fall outside this and are covered on their own terms. It is all documented in our terms and conditions.
