Pest Control Highland Park

Pest control in Highland Park

Highland Park sits up in the hills just south of Nerang. Lots of homes are built on sloping blocks, with split levels, under-house storage and retaining walls, and there's plenty of bushland around the edges.

That hilly, green setting is great for views, and great for spiders. Retaining walls, under-house areas and garden terraces give redbacks and other spiders loads of places to hide. Rats come in from the bush, and ants follow the garden beds up to the house.

Homes with pools, big decks and outdoor entertaining areas also get plenty of webs around the outdoor lights and furniture. And because many homes have storage under the house, it's easy for rats and cockroaches to move in without anyone noticing for a while.

We'll look at the whole property, not just the inside of the house, and give you a fixed price. The same technician will do the treatment.

Common pests in Highland Park

• Spiders: redbacks in retaining walls and under-house areas, and webs across decks and eaves.
• Rats and mice: coming in from the bush into roofs and under-house storage, mostly in the cooler months.
• Ants: nesting in terraced garden beds and lawns, then trailing inside.
• Cockroaches: large ones living under the house and in garden areas.
• Fleas: often from dogs that lie under the house or on the deck.
• Silverfish: in boxes and old papers stored under the house or in the garage.

Up on the hills, spiders are busiest in the warmer months, and rats tend to move in once it cools down in autumn. Leaf litter and stored timber under the house give both of them a head start.

Sloping blocks and retaining walls

Homes on a slope have more hidden spots than a flat block. The gaps in retaining walls, the space under the house and the dark corners under decks are all places spiders and cockroaches like to live.

So in Highland Park, we treat under the house, around decks and along retaining walls as well as the inside and eaves. Keeping stored items off the ground under the house and clearing leaf litter helps a lot. We'll point out anything else we notice.

Garages built into the hillside are worth a look too. They're often cool, dark and full of stored boxes, which is exactly where spiders, cockroaches and silverfish like to hide. We'll include the garage in the treatment if you'd like.

Pest control Highland Park FAQs

Do you treat under the house?

Yes. Under-house areas, decks and retaining walls are a big part of a treatment in Highland Park, because that's where a lot of spiders and cockroaches live.

We back onto bushland. Will the spiders come back?

Some will always come in from the bush, but a good treatment cuts them right down. Treatments come with a 6-month warranty, so if pests come back in that time, so do we.

How long should we stay off treated areas?

It depends on the treatment. We'll tell you on the day how long to keep people and pets off treated areas.

Do you charge to quote?

No. Quotes are free and fixed, and there's no call-out fee. Our pest control cost guide explains what affects the price.
