It depends on whether you have a house, a townhouse or a commercial tenancy, and you get a fixed price before we book. Springwood has far more attached housing than the suburbs around it, and a two-bedroom townhouse is a different job to a detached house with a subfloor, so one advertised number would be wrong for most people here. Ring 1300 545 489, describe the property and the problem, and what we quote is what you pay. Free either way. Set that against the risk: CSIRO rates this region a high termite hazard area, and termite damage is uninsurable.

For lasting results, yes, and it is cheaper per lot than it sounds. Almost a quarter of Springwood’s dwellings are attached, and in a complex cockroaches and rodents move through the roof cavity, party walls and plumbing penetrations. Treat one townhouse and the population next door refills the gap over a few months, which is why people end up paying twice a year forever. Treat your lot now for relief, then take a building-wide quote to your body corporate. We will put that figure in writing so you have something concrete for the meeting rather than an argument. The commercial and body corporate page has the detail.

Twelve months as a minimum, and six to nine if you back onto Springwood Conservation Park. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report on your property every year, or more often in high hazard areas. The park is 36 hectares of open eucalypt forest, and Coptotermes acinaciformis occurs throughout Queensland, nesting in tree bases and stumps and working up to 50 metres out. Housing that went in around the freeway from the 1970s also has no meaningful barrier left. Book a termite inspection and we will hold the reminder.

A steady supply of everything, because 36 hectares of forest with a gorge and seasonal waterfalls running through it is a permanent habitat corridor rather than a patch of scrub. Practically you get huntsman and web-building spiders, rodents moving along the gullies, wasps nesting in eaves and sheds, and the termite risk that comes with mature eucalypts inside foraging range of the house. Koalas and swamp wallabies live in there too, which is one reason we are careful about product selection and placement on properties along that boundary. It is a reason to inspect on a shorter cycle and keep the fence line clear, not a reason to worry about living there.

Yes, and in Springwood that matters more than in most suburbs, because the Greater Springwood Master Plan adopted in November 2009 set this out as Logan’s commercial centre across 480 hectares. We service offices, cafes, medical rooms and retail after hours so trading is not interrupted, with food-safety compliant documentation the same day, rodent stations mapped and numbered, and monthly or quarterly schedules set once so nobody has to chase them. If you own a house near a food premises and keep getting cockroaches, that is worth mentioning too, because the source is often commercial rather than residential. See commercial pest control.

Usually same day or next, Saturdays included. Springwood sits right on the motorway between Brisbane and the rest of Logan, so it is one of the easiest suburbs on our run to reach. Ring 1300 545 489 and you will get the actual next available appointment rather than a place on a list. Flag anything urgent on the call and it moves up: scratching in the roof, a wasp nest by the front door, or termite damage you have just found. For a commercial tenancy with an active cockroach or rodent problem, say so, because that is a compliance issue with a clock on it.

Every general pest treatment carries a full year, and anything named on your certificate that reappears in that time gets re-treated free. The cover follows the pests named on your certificate, so a standard job means ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish. Termites, rodent baiting and bed bugs get quoted and warranted on their own. The attached-housing caveat is worth understanding up front: the warranty covers the lot we treated. If cockroaches walk back in from an untreated townhouse next door, that is a re-infestation from outside your boundary rather than a treatment failure, and we will tell you that honestly instead of arguing. The exact wording is in our terms and conditions.
