Pest Control Ormeau

Pest control in Ormeau

Ormeau is right up the northern end of the Gold Coast, either side of the M1. A lot of it has been built in the last twenty years or so, with new estates still going up, plus older houses on bigger blocks and the hills of Ormeau Hills behind.

When land is cleared for new houses, the ants, spiders and rodents that lived there don't just disappear. They move into the nearest gardens and homes, so new estates often see more pest activity in the first few years than you might expect.

We're a family-run business. One technician quotes and does the job, and you can ring us directly with any questions afterwards.

Common pests in Ormeau

• Ants: often the number one complaint in new estates, with nests under fresh turf, slabs and driveways.
• Spiders: redbacks around new fencing and garden edges, and huntsmen finding their way inside.
• Cockroaches: coming in through drains and gaps around new plumbing.
• Rats and mice: pushed out of cleared land and into roofs and garages nearby.
• Fleas: usually from pets, and often noticed after moving into a new place.

Ant activity usually jumps after rain, when nests under new lawns flood and the ants head indoors. Spiders are at their worst in the warmer months, around fences and new garden beds.

Just moved into a new home?

A brand new house doesn't mean a pest-free house. Builders don't usually do a general pest treatment, and the gaps around pipes, weep holes and garage doors are wide open for ants and cockroaches.

A lot of people book a treatment once they've moved in and the furniture is in place. We do the inside and outside, including weep holes, eaves, window and door frames and the edges of the new garden beds. That gives you a clean start and a 6-month warranty.

If you've moved into an older Ormeau home instead, we'll take a look at the whole place and tell you honestly what it needs.
