Pest Control Coolangatta

Pest control in Coolangatta

Coolangatta is right at the bottom of the Gold Coast, up against the border with Tweed Heads. Around Griffith Street and the beachfront there are lots of units, holiday apartments, cafés and shops, and the streets further back have older homes heading up towards the airport.

With so many visitors coming and going, and so many food businesses in a small area, the main problems here are cockroaches and bed bugs. The older homes, worn down a bit by the salt air, also get rats in the roof and cockroaches in the walls.

Up the hill and further back from the beach, it's quieter, with family homes and older units. These homes tend to get the usual Gold Coast pests, like ants after rain, spiders in the eaves and garden, and rats in the roof once the weather cools down.

Whether it's a unit, a family home or a café, we'll come out, have a proper look, and give you a fixed price before we start. It's the same technician from the quote to the treatment.

Common pests in Coolangatta

• Cockroaches: German cockroaches in café and unit kitchens, and American cockroaches in older homes, drains and bin areas.
• Bed bugs: brought in by travellers, so holiday apartments and backpacker-style rentals see them most.
• Rats and mice: around restaurant bins and in the roofs of older houses in the cooler months.
• Ants: in kitchens and along footpaths, courtyards and balconies.
• Spiders: webs on balconies, shopfronts and eaves.
• Silverfish: common in older homes and units by the beach, where the air stays damp.

Cafés, shops and restaurants

Coolangatta's cafés and restaurants work hard, and pests are the last thing anyone needs, especially with health inspections. The best way to stay on top of it is regular visits, so small problems never turn into big ones.

We come before you open or after you close, so customers never see us. You'll get a service report after every visit for your records. Shops and offices are welcome too. Have a look at our commercial pest control page for more.

Holiday apartments and backpacker-style places need a bit of extra care too. With so many guests coming through, bed bugs and cockroaches can get in quickly. We can work around check-out times so the place is ready for the next guests.

How quickly we can get to Coolangatta
