Rural properties are quoted individually because block size and the number of buildings vary enormously out here. Call 1300 545 489, tell us the acreage and what structures are on it, and the quote we give is the price you pay. It costs nothing to get one. Let us know how much of the block is timbered, since that affects the scope more than the house size.

Yes, and on a Pine Mountain property that is often where the useful findings are. Machinery sheds, disused outbuildings, timber fence posts and old yard rails all sit in ground, generally unvisited for long stretches, and they are typically the first thing a colony establishes in. Inspecting only the house on a block measured in hectares does not tell you much at all.

It is the reason the place looks the way it does and it is a factor to manage rather than remove. Mature timber, stumps and fallen wood sit well inside termite foraging range of most homes here, and the bush supports rodents, spiders and snakes as permanent habitat rather than occasional visitors. The sensible response is a shorter inspection cycle, keeping ground immediately around the house clear, and being deliberate about where firewood is stacked.

Every twelve months at minimum, and every six to nine months on a heavily timbered block or one with a lot of old farm infrastructure. The QBCC advises an annual inspection and report in high hazard areas and CSIRO national termite survey records this region as high hazard. Book a termite inspection and you will not have to remember the next one.

Close to it. This was a working district with around eighty farmers and selectors by 1911, plus a hotel, school, sawmill and butter factory. Farming declined, and the 1961 census counted 59 residents in the whole locality. The school closed in 1963. Acreage subdivision brought it back from there to roughly 1,700 today. It is one of very few places in this region that emptied out and refilled within living memory, and some of the old farm structures from that first era are still standing on people’s blocks.

Usually same or next day, and we do Saturdays. It is further out than most of our runs, so if you can give us a little flexibility on timing we will generally get to you faster. Ring 1300 545 489 and say if something is urgent and we will work around it.

Every general pest treatment carries a full twelve months, and anything named on your certificate that reappears within that time is re-treated at no cost. Termite work and rodent baiting are quoted on their own and warranted on their own. See our terms and conditions for the complete wording.
