Seeing More Pests Than Usual? Do This First
In the Redlands pests often build up outdoors first: ants in the lawn, webs across the patio and cockroaches living under the garden mulch.
Moving pot plants and outdoor furniture away from the walls before we arrive lets the barrier go right along the house.
-
1
Hold off on the sprays
Supermarket sprays scatter pests and can stop baits from working. Leave the trails and webs where they are until we arrive.
-
2
Clear under the sinks
Empty the cupboards under the kitchen, bathroom and laundry sinks so we can treat the hinges and pipe gaps.
-
3
Put food and bowls away
Store food, toothbrushes and pet bowls, and cover fish tanks before the visit.
-
4
Make the manhole easy to reach
Clear the area under the roof access and the way to the subfloor if the house is raised.
-
Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Common Pest Problems in Birkdale
Most pests stay out of sight during the day. These are the clues Birkdale households usually notice first.
"Cockroaches when I turn the kitchen light on"
Small brown ones breeding inside, or large ones wandering in from the garden and drains. Both are covered.
"Ant trails across the bench"
Black house ants and coastal brown ants come in for food, especially before and after storms.
"The webs come straight back"
Black house spiders, redbacks and orb weavers rebuilding around eaves, windows and outdoor furniture within days.
"Holes in books and stored clothes"
Silverfish leave ragged holes and yellow stains in paper, wallpaper, stored clothes and cardboard boxes.
"Noises in the roof at night"
Scratching or scurrying after dark points to rodents or possums, which we check for during the inspection.
"It has been over a year since the last one"
Barrier treatments wear off with sun, rain and cleaning. Most homes are due again after about 12 months.

| Time on site | One to two hours for most homes | Depends on the pest and the property |
| Follow-up | Call us if pests are still active after three weeks | Follow-up visits included where the program needs them |

Why Birkdale Homes Need Regular Pest Control
South East Queensland's subtropical climate keeps pests breeding for most of the year.
Local Notes for Birkdale
Birkdale sits in Redlands, about 19 km from the Brisbane CBD. Our technicians are in the 4159 postcode regularly. Most homes are brick lowsets and two-storey family homes from the last few decades, alongside acreage properties and older homes in the original townships.
Termite inspections and general pest treatments lead the way, followed by possums and rodents on the leafier and semi-rural blocks.
Because of that, a Birkdale treatment is planned around the house itself: how it is built, what surrounds it and what you have been seeing. Tell us when you book and the technician will arrive with the right products on the vehicle.

Warm, humid summers
Pests that die back in colder cities breed almost all year here. Cockroaches, ants and spiders all peak through the hot, wet months.
Storm season drives them inside
From late spring, heavy rain floods nests and drains, and ants and cockroaches head indoors to escape waterlogged ground.
Leafy yards and outdoor living
Gardens, decks, sheds and outdoor furniture give pests shelter right next to the house. Homes near bushland, creeks or food businesses see even more.

What is at stake
Why Pests Should Not Be Left Alone
A few pests turn into a lot of pests quickly in this climate.
Health risks
Cockroaches spread bacteria onto benches and food, and their droppings trigger asthma and allergies.
Bites and stings
Redbacks under the outdoor furniture and wasps under the eaves are a real risk for children.
Numbers grow fast
German cockroaches and ants breed quickly in the heat. A small problem in spring can be a big one by Christmas.
Sprays scatter them
Supermarket sprays kill what they touch and push the rest deeper into walls and cupboards.
How it works
How a General Pest Treatment Works
Inspect, treat inside and out, then advice to make it last. Your technician explains the plan and the price first.
-
1
Tell us what you are seeing
Call or send the form. We ask a few questions about the property and the pests and book a time.
-
2
Inspection on arrival
The technician checks inside, outside, the roof void access and under the house if it is raised.
-
3
Upfront price
You hear what we found and the price before anything starts.
-
4
Treatment inside and out
Baits and dusts go where pests live and breed, and a barrier goes on entry points and the outside of the building.
-
5
Advice and follow-up
Simple steps to make the treatment last. If pests are still active after the settling-in period, we come back.
The inspection
What Areas Do We Check for Our Pest Inspections?
Red soil, bushland and larger blocks make the Redlands busy for termites and wildlife, so the inspection takes in the yard and outbuildings as well as the house. Every Birkdale visit starts with an inspection of these areas before anything is treated.
Roof void
Droppings, nests, chewed wiring and insulation, and the gaps rodents and possums use to get in.
Subfloor and under the house
Stumps, bearers and soil for termite mud leads, damp ground and nesting rodents.
Kitchen and pantry
Behind and under appliances, cupboard hinges and the gaps around pipes where cockroaches hide.
Bathrooms and laundry
Floor drains, vanity cupboards and wet areas that draw cockroaches and silverfish.
Living areas and bedrooms
Skirting boards, window and door frames, wardrobes and built-ins.
Garage and storage
Stored boxes, timber and sheds where spiders and rodents settle.
Outside walls and eaves
Weep holes, eaves, meter boxes, window frames and webs on the walls.
Sheds and outbuildings
Garden sheds, stables and machinery sheds where rodents nest and termites find timber.
Pricing
How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Birkdale?
A two-bedroom unit takes less time and product than a high-set house with a subfloor, garage and granny flat. These are the things that set the price.
What sets the price
-
Size and layout of the property. Bedrooms, levels, a subfloor, garage and outbuildings all add time.
-
Which pests are involved. A general treatment covers cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish. German cockroaches, rodents and termites are separate.
-
How heavy the problem is. A long-running infestation can need more baiting or a second visit.
-
Homes or businesses. Cafes, offices and strata common areas are quoted per site.
You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.

Questions
Pest Control Birkdale FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
Is pest control safe for my children and pets?
Yes. We use products registered for use in homes and apply them to cracks, crevices and outside surfaces rather than open areas. People and pets should stay off treated surfaces until they are dry, which is usually a couple of hours. Cover fish tanks and put pet bowls away before we arrive.
How much does pest control cost in Birkdale?
It depends on the size and layout of the property, the pests involved and how far they have spread. The technician inspects first and gives you the price before any work starts, with no hidden costs.
Do I need to leave the house during the treatment?
Usually not for long. Many customers stay home and move to another room or step outside while each area is treated. If anyone in the household is pregnant, has asthma or is sensitive to odours, tell us when you book and we will plan around that.
How long does a pest treatment last in Birkdale?
Most homes get about 12 months from a general treatment. Heavy rain, pressure washing and strong sun shorten the life of the outside barrier, so homes with a lot of pest pressure sometimes book every six months.
Why am I seeing more pests just after the treatment?
That is normal for the first week or two. The products flush pests out of their hiding places before they die, so you may see more activity at first. If you are still seeing live pests after about three weeks, call us.
How should I prepare for the visit?
Clear the floor edges where you can, empty the cupboards under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, put away food, toothbrushes and pet bowls, and make sure we can reach the manhole. Hold off mopping the floor edges for a few weeks afterwards so the barrier stays in place.
Does a general pest treatment cover termites?
No. Termites need a separate timber pest inspection and their own treatment. We can book a termite inspection for the same visit if you would like both done together.
