Pest Control Burleigh Heads

Pest Control Burleigh Heads

Another Gold Coast summer approaches and along with subtropical heat, humidity and rainfall, a multitude of species of animals and insects become far more active.

Not all this activity is welcomed by the species known as Humans, especially when the critters we regard as pests succeed in entering our homes in search of food and shelter.

The range of pests that invade homes and buildings on the Gold Coast include:

• Ants
• Bees and Wasps
• Cockroaches
• Fleas
• Mosquitoes
• Rodents
• Spiders
• Silverfish
• Termites

Some of these pests present temporary or potentially even permanent inconveniences that require pest control solutions.

In Queensland and Northern NSW the likelihood of termites invading the structure of your building - domestic or commercial - is very high and increasing.

"The majority of mosquito problems on the Gold Coast are caused by salt-marsh mosquitoes. Further mosquito breeding occurs in freshwater after periods of high rainfall. When high tides exceed about 1.6 metres at the Gold Coast Seaway, tidal marshes are flooded, triggering mosquito breeding. This occurs almost on a monthly basis. High rainfall events can also cause flooding of salt-marshes. Mosquito control is important as some species carry debilitating diseases such as Ross River Virus."

Native birds and possums are not necessarily regarded as pests; however, they also occasionally cause havoc or disturbances in offices, shops, cafes, restaurants, tourist accommodation, and our homes.

Burleigh Heads is host to residential houses and units; restaurants and bars; surf shops and surfboard manufacturers; tourist attractions and accommodation; and a world reknowned surf beach. Burleigh Heads has a population of approximately 10,000 while the nearby inland suburb of Burleigh Waters has a population of over 14,000 people.

Burleigh Heads National Park overlooks the Pacific Ocean and hosts a variety of species of native wildlife and other crawling and flying creatures. So Burleigh Heads and Burleigh Waters are both susceptible to infiltrations of termites, rats & mice, ants, fleas, spiders, cockroaches, bees and wasps.

Burleigh Waters is also more likely to attract mosquitoes given its proximity to man-made canals and freshwater lakes, especially during the hot humid Gold Coast summers and after big rains.

The occasional problem with birds and possums in Burleigh can require pest control, especially during our subtropical winters and spring. It is only when the natural habitat of possums, tree cavities, are disturbed that they move into your roof often through a broken tile.

In Australia, possums are protected under legislation and require conservation. When they make their home in the roof space they need to be safely removed by humanely trapping them, sealing up the openings and relocation of the 'offender' by a qualified person. Tony's Termites and Pest Control can help with the removal of possums and birds through harmless and safe methods.
