Pest Control Merrimac

Pest control in Merrimac

Merrimac is a central Gold Coast suburb between Robina, Mermaid Waters and Carrara. It's a mix of family homes and a lot of townhouse and unit complexes, with Merrimac State High School and some low-lying, waterway areas nearby.

In townhouse complexes, pests move easily from one home to the next through shared walls, roofs and gardens. That makes cockroaches the most common problem here, in units and townhouses alike.

The family homes in Merrimac usually have their own backyards and gardens, so they get more ants, spiders and the occasional rat in the roof. Homes near the parks and waterways tend to see a bit more, because there's always shelter close by.

Whether it's one townhouse or a whole complex, we'll give you an honest answer about what's needed and a fixed price before we start.

Common pests in Merrimac

• Cockroaches: German cockroaches spreading between townhouses and units, and big ones outside at night.
• Ants: in shared gardens and courtyards, and trailing into kitchens.
• Rats and mice: near the waterways and parks, and in shared roof spaces.
• Spiders: redbacks in courtyard corners and fences, and webs on eaves.
• Fleas: from pets in small courtyards, and at the end of a lease.
• Silverfish: in cupboards and storage, especially in older units.

In townhouse complexes, cockroaches are usually first spotted under the kitchen sink, behind the fridge or around the hot water system. Small ones seen during the day often mean there are plenty more hiding.

Townhouse and unit complexes

If you're in a Merrimac townhouse and the cockroaches keep coming back, they may be living next door or in a shared roof space. Treating one home helps, but it may not last if the neighbours have the same problem.

We'll tell you honestly what we see. For body corporates, we can treat common areas and several homes at once, which is usually the way to get on top of it. Moving out? Our end-of-lease treatment gives you a certificate on the day for your agent.

Shared bin areas are another thing to keep an eye on. If bins are overflowing or not cleaned out, they'll attract cockroaches and rats for the whole complex. Keeping them tidy helps any treatment last longer.
