Pest Control Gilston

Pest control in Gilston

Gilston is out in the hinterland behind Nerang, on the way up towards Advancetown. It's mostly acreage and semi-rural blocks, with homes set back from the road and plenty of trees, paddocks and bush around.

On a property like this, the house is only part of the picture. Sheds, garages, tank stands, stables and storage areas all give pests a quiet place to live. Rats and mice are the big one, especially if there's animal feed around, and spiders are everywhere.

Water tanks, wood piles and old machinery also make good hiding spots. Redbacks especially like the dark underside of tank stands, trailer beds and outdoor furniture that doesn't get moved very often, so it's worth wearing gloves when you move things around.

We're happy to come out and quote the whole property, not just the house. You'll get a fixed price before we start, and the same technician does the job.

Common pests in Gilston

• Rats and mice: living in sheds, feed rooms and under stored gear, then moving into the house when it cools down.
• Spiders: redbacks in sheds, under tank stands and around outdoor furniture, and huntsmen in the house.
• Ants: nests in paddocks and garden beds, sometimes trailing into the kitchen.
• Cockroaches: large outdoor cockroaches coming in from the garden and sheds.
• Fleas: from dogs, cats and other animals on the property.
• Silverfish: in storage sheds, old boxes and books kept out in outbuildings.

Rats and mice usually become a bigger problem from autumn, as they look for shelter and food in sheds and roofs. Spiders are busiest through the warmer months.

Acreage properties

On acreage, a treatment that stops at the house walls won't last long. We look at sheds, garages, carports and any outbuildings, and focus on the ones closest to the house or where food and feed are stored.

For rats and mice, keeping feed in sealed bins and clearing old junk piles makes a big difference. We'll set up rodent control in the right spots and tell you honestly what to expect, because on a rural block new rodents can always turn up.

Bigger properties take longer, so we'll work out exactly what you want covered when we quote.

If you're renting out a granny flat or second dwelling on the property, we can treat that too. And if a tenant is moving out, our end-of-lease treatment comes with a certificate on the day for the agent.
