Pest Control Gaven

Pest control in Gaven

Gaven is a small, mostly residential suburb near Nerang and Pacific Pines, just off the M1. It's largely newer family homes and townhouses, and plenty of streets have bushland or a reserve close by.

Homes here are generally well built, so most pests aren't coming from inside the house. They come in from outside, from the bush, reserves and gardens. That's why the outside part of the treatment does most of the work in Gaven.

Gaven also has a good number of townhouse complexes, and they work a bit differently to a stand-alone house. Shared walls and roofs mean cockroaches can move between homes, so treating one townhouse on its own doesn't always last.

We'll walk around your home with you, look at where pests are getting in, and treat to suit. The same technician quotes and treats, so there's no confusion about what was agreed.

Common pests in Gaven

• Spiders: the most common complaint near the bush, with webs on eaves and fences and redbacks in letterboxes and outdoor furniture.
• Rats and mice: moving from bushland into garages and roofs in the cooler months.
• Ants: in garden beds, lawns and along slab edges, and trailing inside in summer.
• Cockroaches: wandering in from gardens at night, and sometimes arriving with boxes or groceries.
• Fleas: often from dogs that spend time outside.
• Silverfish: in wardrobes and storage boxes, especially in garages and spare rooms.

Spider numbers in Gaven usually climb through spring and summer, while rats tend to show up once the nights get cooler. If you only treat once a year, late winter or early spring is a good time to book.

Homes near bushland

If your back fence faces the bush, you'll always get a few visitors. A good treatment around the outside of the house, the eaves, windows, doors and garage stops most of them before they come in.

Rats from bushland usually get in through small gaps: under the garage door, around pipes, or through the roof edge. We'll look for these and let you know about any easy fixes, as well as setting up rodent control if you need it. Homes right on the bush edge may need treating a bit more often, and we'll tell you that up front.

A few easy habits help a treatment last longer near the bush: keep firewood and building materials off the ground and away from the house, trim back plants touching the walls, and don't leave pet food outside overnight.
