Pest Control Burleigh Waters

Pest control in Burleigh Waters

Burleigh Waters is the big family suburb just inland from Burleigh Heads. It's mostly houses with backyards, and a lot of them back onto the lakes and canals that wind through the suburb. Bushland reserves towards Tallebudgera Creek add a bit more green on the southern side.

All that water and greenery is great for living, and great for pests too. Homes on the lakes and canals see more rats and spiders. Family homes with lawns, gardens and pets get plenty of ants and fleas. And cockroaches are a year-round thing, as they are across the Gold Coast.

The streets further from the water are more about the usual family-home stuff: ants in the lawn, spiders around the kids' play equipment, and cockroaches coming in from the garden. Plenty of homes here are rentals as well, so end-of-lease treatments are a common call.

Most people we talk to here want a treatment that's safe for the kids and the dog, done properly the first time. That's what we aim for.

Common pests in Burleigh Waters

• Ants: nests in lawns and garden beds, and trails into the kitchen, especially in summer.
• Rats and mice: coming in from the lake and canal edges, and scratching in the roof once the nights get cooler.
• Spiders: webs over pool fences and outdoor areas, and redbacks around play equipment and garden edges.
• Fleas: from pets, and often noticed in carpets and the yard after a warm, wet spell.
• Cockroaches: big ones from drains and gardens at night, and smaller ones in kitchens.

Lakeside and canal homes

If your backyard runs down to a lake or canal, the water side is usually where rats come from. They live along the bank, under jetties and in thick plants at the water's edge, then move along fences and up into the roof.

On these homes we treat the back boundary and roof line carefully, not just the front of the house. Tidying up thick plants near the water and keeping pet food inside helps make the treatment last. We'll let you know what we notice while we're there.

Pontoons, boat sheds and jetties are worth a look too, because spiders build webs on them quickly over summer. If you have a shed or boat storage near the water, let us know when you book and we'll include it in the quote.

Pest control Burleigh Waters FAQs

We back onto the lake in Burleigh Waters. Will a treatment stop the rats?

It will help a lot, but on a lakeside block new rats can keep turning up. We'll set up rodent control around the house and roof and let you know honestly what to expect.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

We'll ask you to keep kids and pets out of the way while we work, and tell you on the day how long to keep off treated areas. If you have any concerns, just ask.

Do you treat the yard as well as the house?

Yes. A general pest treatment covers inside, the outside of the house, eaves, and garden edges. For fleas we can also treat lawns and pet areas.
