The subfloor decides it more than anything else, and the price is fixed before we book. A character home with a full walk-in under-house takes real time to inspect properly, a unit in the town centre is a different job again, and an honest quote reflects which one you have rather than averaging the two into a number that suits neither. That is why there is no price list. Ring 1300 545 489, tell us roughly the era of the house and whether it is high-set, and you get the figure on that call at no cost. For context: CSIRO places Brisbane in a high termite risk zone, termite damage sits outside home insurance, and pre-war timber homes were never built with a chemical barrier at all. Our 365 Pest Protection Plans spread the cost.

Twelve months as a floor, six to nine on a pre-war timber home. The QBCC recommends a licensed pest controller inspect and report annually, or more often in high hazard areas, and Wynnum ticks both boxes: Brisbane is a CSIRO high hazard zone, and homes built before the end of 1946, which Council classes as character buildings, were never built with a termite management system in the first place. The upside is genuine though: a walk-in subfloor is properly inspectable in a way a slab never is, so an annual look here actually finds things while they are still cheap. Book a termite inspection.

It cuts both ways and you deserve the honest version. The advantage is real: a subfloor you can walk into gets inspected properly, so damage is found while the repair is still small. The risks are equally real. Timber stumps in ground contact hand termites a direct route, CSIRO names timber in ground contact, poor drainage and low subfloor clearance as the key structural risk factors, and in coastal Wynnum metal ant capping corrodes across decades until it simply stops doing its job. Clearing stored timber out from under the house, reconnecting a downpipe and restoring airflow are the cheap wins, and none of them need us. Everything we find gets written up on the inspection report as a list you can work through, not a vague warning.

Yes. Everything is APVMA registered, applied at label rates by a licensed technician, and placed where pests move rather than where your family does: dust and bait into the wall cavities, roof space and cracks, spray down the skirting lines and around the outside. Dry within a couple of hours. The Wynnum-specific question worth raising is the under-house. If the kids play down there, tell us, because it changes how and where we treat the subfloor, which is otherwise the most heavily worked part of the visit. Fish tanks, birds, reptiles and pets on medication just need a mention before we arrive. Licence 15229237 and twenty million public liability. More on the residential pest control page.

No, not for a standard treatment. Keep kids and pets out of rooms as they are done and off external surfaces until dry, one to two hours. Access matters more than anything else here, because we need into the subfloor and the roof void: if the under-house is packed with stored gear or the access panel has been screwed shut, say so when you book and we will plan for it instead of finding out on the day and doing half a job. The one genuine exception to staying is structural fumigation for the West Indian drywood termite, where the house is tented and has to be empty. Rare, and you would have plenty of notice. Book on 1300 545 489 or via the quote form.

Same day or next day is usual and we work Saturdays. Technicians cross Brisbane every week and the bayside run takes in Wynnum, Wynnum West, Manly, Manly West, Lota, Hemmant and Tingalpa, so you are not waiting on someone to make a special trip out here. Ring 1300 545 489 and you get the real next available appointment rather than a place on a list. Wasp nest over the front stairs, scratching in the roof, termite damage you have just found in a skirting board or a stump: flag it on the call and it gets prioritised. Everything else gets booked to suit you, Saturdays included.

Yes, and it is the most common reason the phone rings. Supermarket sprays are repellents, so they scatter the population instead of killing the colony. With German cockroaches, which is what turns up in the units along the esplanade and around the town centre, that drives survivors deeper into wall voids and appliance motors and makes the next treatment harder than it needed to be. With silverfish, spraying a skirting board achieves nothing at all, because the actual problem is 80 per cent humidity sitting in your subfloor or roof void. Tell us what you used and where. Then we treat the harbourage and tell you what to change about the ventilation, which is the part that lasts. See the full residential treatment.

Every general pest treatment carries twelve months. The pests we treated for come back inside that window and we return and re-treat, free, without a debate. Cover follows what is named on your certificate: for a standard treatment that means ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish. Termite work, rodent baiting programs and bed bugs run on their own cycles so they are quoted and warranted separately. Mosquitoes are not warranted, and no honest operator would warrant them in Wynnum, because the breeding habitat is tidal saltmarsh managed by Council rather than anything sitting on your block. Anyone promising otherwise is selling you something. Full wording in our terms and conditions.

We can cut the pressure around your house meaningfully, and we will be straight about the limits. The saltmarsh mosquito dominates on the bayside and it breeds in brackish pools and marshes flooded by the highest tides, with some species travelling a long way from where they hatched. Brisbane City Council treats more than 20,000 hectares of that coastal habitat with larvicides year round, helicopters included during mass hatches. Nobody can treat the bay. What we can do is remove the breeding sites on your property, which account for a real share of them: blocked gutters, pot plant bases, bird baths, old tyres and a poorly sealed rainwater tank. Then we treat the vegetation and resting harbourage around the house.
