Key Pests in Southport

As Southport is one of the older suburbs, with a number of apartments and commercial areas, cockroaches are a big problem. With the summer storms, mosquito outbreaks are also an issue. For homeowners in particular, the warm moist climate makes it an ideal environment for high levels of termite activity - regular termite inspections are a must!

Our general pest treatment will deal with most pest problems, but if you have a particular pest problem or infestation, it may be necessary to have a specialised pest treatment. We also offer a range of commercial pest services to keep businesses pest free.

Termite inspections and treatments in Southport

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. Southport 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.

Our professional termite inspections will not only pick up any signs of termite activity but will also assess your property for conditions and construction faults that may make your home more likely to suffer a termite attack. However, without a termite protection system in place, between one inspection and the next, termites will still be able to get into your home without being noticed.

Standard home insurance policies do not cover termite attack, so it’s a smart investment to get a termite protection system installed. With termite attack more likely than flood, fire and other natural disasters combined, in many ways a termite protection system is really more important than your home insurance!

About Southport

Southport was originally called Nerang Creek Heads, but change its name to Southport reflecting the fact it was the southernmost port of the colony of Queensland. The key early industries were timber, sugar cane and livestock. Back in the 1880s it became a key tourist destination, with Southport being the gateway to Main Beach and Surfers Paradise. However, nowadays Southport is principally seen as the central business district of the Gold Coast, although the Broadwater Parklands is a big draw card for locals and tourists alike. Southport is also well know for two old private schools - The Southport School for boys (founded in 1901) and St Hilda’s School for girls (founded in 1912).

With its year round warm temperatures and regular summer storms, Southport is a haven for pests! Homeowners and business owners will need to carry out regular treatments to keep their homes and businesses pest free.

Southport consists of the central business area, residential areas and the Broadwater. The central business area with its high density of businesses, food businesses and apartment blocks are a paradise for cockroaches! The residential areas, with mainly older homes, are a haven for termites. Homeowners and business owners need to keep on their toes in Southport to keep pest-free!
