Pest Control Benowa

Pest control in Benowa

Benowa is a leafy, established suburb next to Bundall and Ashmore. Some homes sit on the Nerang River or the canals, others are on bigger dry blocks with mature gardens, and the golf course at Royal Pines takes up a good chunk of the area.

Water, big trees and lots of garden all mean more for pests to live in. Palms and thick planting are great cover for rats, gardens and lawns keep ants going, and spiders love eaves, pergolas and outdoor living areas. Inside, it's usually cockroaches and the odd ant trail.

Away from the water, the bigger blocks around the golf course and the quieter family streets are more about ants, spiders and the odd rat in the roof. Homes with pools and big entertaining areas get a lot of webs around the outdoor furniture and lights.

Every Benowa home we see is a little different, so we'll walk around the property with you, look at where pests are getting in, and treat to suit. You'll deal with the same person from start to finish.

Common pests in Benowa

• Rats: living in palm trees and thick gardens, then getting into the roof. Waterfront homes tend to see them more often.
• Spiders: webs over outdoor areas, boat sheds and eaves, plus redbacks around the pool fence and garden furniture.
• Ants: coming up from lawns and garden beds into the kitchen, especially after rain.
• Cockroaches: large ones from drains and gardens, and the smaller German kind if they've hitched a ride in on boxes or appliances.
• Fleas: often from pets that spend time out in the yard.

Canal and riverfront homes

If your home is on the water, the back of the property usually matters more than the front. Rats travel along rock walls, jetties and boat sheds, and they climb palms to reach the roof. So on a waterfront block we pay extra attention to the water side of the house, the roof line and any outbuildings.

Keeping palms trimmed back from the roof and cleaning up fallen fronds and fruit helps a lot. We'll point out anything like that when we visit, and we'll be honest if the job needs more than a single treatment.

Boat sheds, pool rooms and garden sheds are worth including too. They're quiet, dark and rarely disturbed, which is exactly what spiders and rats like. Just let us know what outbuildings you have when you ask for a quote.
