Pest Control Mermaid Beach

Pest control in Mermaid Beach

Mermaid Beach is a long, narrow suburb between Broadbeach and Nobby Beach, squeezed between the Gold Coast Highway and the sand. There's a mix of big new beach homes along Hedges Avenue, older beach houses, renovated homes and unit blocks.

Being right on the beach, it's warm and humid nearly all year, so cockroaches, ants and silverfish keep going through winter. Older beach houses have more gaps for pests to get into, while newer homes tend to have more ants around landscaped gardens and pool areas.

Unit blocks along the beach and the highway have a different set of problems. In units, it's mostly small German cockroaches in kitchens and ants on balconies, and pests can move between units through shared walls and pipes.

Whatever kind of home you have, we'll come out, have a look, and give you a fixed price. The same technician quotes and does the treatment.

Common pests in Mermaid Beach

• Cockroaches: big American cockroaches in older homes, roofs and drains, and German ones in unit kitchens.
• Ants: in sandy garden beds, around pools and paved areas, and trailing into the kitchen.
• Silverfish: in wardrobes and cupboards, thanks to the humid sea air.
• Spiders: webs on balconies, eaves and outdoor areas.
• Rats and mice: in the roof of older homes, mostly in the cooler months.
• Fleas: from pets, and common when moving into or out of a rental.

Ants are often worst after summer rain in Mermaid Beach, when the sandy soil gets soaked and colonies move up into homes. Spiders, meanwhile, tend to build up around outdoor lights over the warmer months.

Beach houses and older homes

Older beach houses in Mermaid Beach have often been through a lot of salt air and a few renovations. That can leave gaps in eaves, around pipes and under floors that let cockroaches and rats in.

When we treat an older home, we pay extra attention to the roof space, wall cavities, sub-floor and the outside of the house. We'll also point out any gaps worth sealing. For newer homes, the focus is usually more on the garden, pool area and outside walls.

Every treatment comes with a 6-month warranty (rodent control excluded), so if pests come back in that time, we come back too.

Newer homes with big landscaped gardens and pools tend to get ants coming up through paving and garden beds, and spiders around outdoor lights. A treatment around the outside of the house stops most of it before it gets inside.
