Key Pests in Ashmore

As one of the older suburbs of the Gold Coast built on former eucalyptus forest land, termites pose a significant threat to homeowners in Ashmore. The combination of hot summers and mild winters, together with a sub-tropical climate, make the area prone to termite infestation.  

Like much of the Gold Coast, cockroaches and ants are two of the other common pests to affect Ashmore residences, with the lawns of some homeowners affected by funnel ants.

Biting midges and mosquitoes are generally a nuisance, especially for properties that back onto the Nerang River.

Termite Inspections and Treatments in Ashmore

As an area built on former woodland with the Nerang River in close proximity, Ashmore is a hotspot for termite activity. Termites thrive in warm, moist conditions and can quickly establish themselves inside a property with very little indication of their presence.

The best way to keep termites out of your home is to have a regular termite inspection, at least once, if not twice, a year. During the inspection, our highly trained technicians will look for signs of termite activity and will assess the condition of the property. Sometimes the way a building is constructed makes it more susceptible to termite ingress, something our technicians will note and offer advice on.

Government bodies, building authorities and Australian Standards recommend that homes are inspected for termites at least once a year and more often in areas of high termite pressure. Ashmore is in an area of high termite pressure, so inspections twice a year are strongly recommended, especially if you don’t have termite protection in place. For properties which lack the termite protection or modern buildings, a termite protection system is the best way to protect your home.

A number of different options are available, depending on the type of property – either a soil treatment or termite baiting system. Having a termite protection system in place is a smart investment, which gives peace of mind that your property is adequately protected between inspection visits. Termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance policies, so it pays to take the extra step to safeguard your home.

About Ashmore

Home to Royal Pines Resort, a number of schools and residential aged care properties, Ashmore is a popular Gold Coast suburb that offers some important facilities to the surrounded areas.  Built on former eucalyptus forest land, the suburb is built on rolling hills surrounded by elderly trees. Its proximity to the beaches, shopping centres and city make it a preferred residential area.

As one of the Gold Coast’s older, well-established suburbs, the area has a good sense of community. The country club, golf course and athletics track are just some of the recreational facilities in the area, as well as the many parks and children’s playgrounds.
