Pest Control Helensvale

Pest control in Helensvale

Helensvale is a big, established family suburb on the northern Gold Coast. It's built around Westfield Helensvale and the train and tram station, with plenty of houses, townhouses and rentals, and quite a few streets backing onto lakes, creeks or bush.

Because it's so spread out, pests vary a bit from street to street. Homes near water or bushland see more rats and spiders. Townhouses and units are more about cockroaches moving between homes. And every backyard gets ants at some point.

The older parts of Helensvale have big established gardens and mature trees, while the newer streets have smaller yards and more townhouses. Each needs a slightly different focus, so we'll look at your place before deciding how to treat it.

We're based in Runaway Bay, only a short drive away, so it's easy for us to get to Helensvale quickly. You'll deal with the same technician the whole way through.

Common pests in Helensvale

• Cockroaches: German cockroaches in kitchens, especially in townhouses and units, and big ones outside at night.
• Ants: in kitchens, bathrooms and pantries, and nesting under pavers and along paths.
• Spiders: webs in eaves and pergolas, and redbacks in gardens, fences and play areas.
• Rats and mice: getting into the roof and garage, mostly in autumn and winter.
• Fleas: from pets, and something agents often ask about at the end of a lease.
• Bed bugs: sometimes picked up while travelling or from second-hand furniture.

Summer storms usually bring a burst of ants and cockroaches into Helensvale homes, and rats tend to move into roofs from around April. If you notice droppings in the garage or pantry, it's best to book in early.

Moving out of a rental

A lot of Helensvale homes are rentals, and many leases ask for a pest treatment when you move out. Our end-of-lease (bond) treatment is a full general pest treatment for cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish, inside and out. If you've had pets, fleas are included too.

You get a certificate on the day to give to your agent. It's best to book it once you've moved your things out, so we can get into every cupboard and room. See our end-of-lease treatment page for more.

If you're moving into a Helensvale rental and find cockroaches or fleas left behind, it's best to treat before your furniture arrives. That way we can get into every corner, and you start off fresh.
