Every Pest Control Service We Offer in Townsville

Most pest control websites make you guess. You know there's something in the roof and you're presented with a menu of services written for people who already know what they've got.

So here's the whole list, in plain language, with a note on what each one actually involves and when you'd want it. If you still can't tell, ring us on 07 4774 3316 and describe what you're seeing.

Termite services

Termites are the reason most people call a pest controller in Townsville, and they're the only pest here capable of costing you six figures.

  • Termite treatment in Townsville. Active termites in the building. Baiting, dusting or chemical soil treatment depending on the species and where they're getting in. The goal is colony elimination, not killing what you can see.
  • Termite inspections to Australian Standard. Annual or six monthly inspection to AS 3660.2, covering subfloor, internal timbers, roof void, external surrounds and outbuildings within thirty metres. Written report you can act on.
  • Termite barriers. Chemical or physical barrier installed around the building to stop a colony reaching it in the first place.
  • Termite reticulation. A barrier with plumbing, allowing the treated soil zone to be renewed by pumping rather than re-trenching. Common in newer Townsville estates.
  • Pre-construction protection. Systems installed at slab stage to AS 3660.1, for builders working the Elliot Springs, Cosgrove, Mount Low and Burdell corridors.

General pest treatment

The annual treatment that handles most of what walks, crawls and scuttles through a Townsville home.


  • Cockroaches. German and American species, treated with gel baiting into harbourage rather than blanket spraying. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and roof voids.
  • Ants. Nest targeted baiting rather than trail spraying, because spraying the trail achieves nothing except moving the problem.
  • Spiders. Redbacks, huntsmen and funnel-webs. Targeted treatment of webbing zones, eaves, sheds and outdoor furniture.
  • Silverfish. Humid tropical conditions make them thrive. Treatment focuses on roof voids, wardrobes and stored paper.
  • Most homes book this once a year, ideally in the weeks before the wet season pushes everything indoors.


Commercial pest management

Scheduled servicing for restaurants, cafés, warehouses, schools, clubs and offices, with the documentation that food safety and audit requirements demand. After hours attendance where trading hours make daytime treatment impractical.


Rodent control

Rats and mice in homes, sheds, warehouses and commercial premises. Tamper resistant stations placed on the runs they're actually using, plus entry point sealing, because baiting a building you haven't sealed is a subscription rather than a solution.

Commercial rodent work includes documented station mapping and service records suitable for food safety audits.


Bird proofing

Pigeons nesting in roof spaces, under eaves and, increasingly in Townsville, underneath solar panels. The gap between a panel array and the roof sheet is shaded, sheltered and warm, which makes it prime real estate in a city with very high rooftop solar penetration.

We install mesh and netting rather than relying on spikes and deterrents, which pigeons treat as a mild inconvenience. Droppings are cleaned and the area disinfected before proofing goes on.


Fumigation

This is the one almost nobody else in Townsville does. We hold AQIS accreditation for export and import fumigation, covering shipping containers, timber, machinery and bulk cargo across Townsville, Cairns and Gladstone.

If you're exporting and your treatment certificate has to satisfy an overseas biosecurity authority, this is the service you need. See AQIS licensed fumigation for the detail.



Methamphetamine contamination testing

Accredited sampling and reporting for landlords, property managers, buyers and insurers. Spot testing through to full laboratory composite sampling, with a certificate at the end of it.

It's a service most people never think about until a tenancy ends badly or a purchase falls through.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer a general treatment that covers everything?

A general pest treatment covers cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish, inside and out. Termites, rodents, birds and fumigation are separate services because they require different products, equipment and licensing. Most Townsville homes book a general treatment annually plus a termite inspection.

When is the best time of year to have my home treated?

Ideally in the weeks before the wet season, roughly September through November. Treating before the first storms means the residual is in place when everything starts moving indoors, rather than chasing the problem after it arrives.

Do you service commercial premises?

Yes. We service restaurants, cafés, warehouses, schools, clubs and offices across Townsville with scheduled programmes and full documentation suitable for food safety audits. After hours attendance is available.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every technician holds a current Queensland pest management technician licence and we carry full public liability insurance. Our fumigation division additionally holds AQIS accreditation.

How long does a general pest treatment take?

Usually 45 to 90 minutes for an average home, depending on size and how much of the property needs external treatment. You will get re-entry times before we leave.
