Pest Control Palm Beach

Pest control in Palm Beach

Palm Beach runs along the coast between Tallebudgera Creek and Currumbin Creek, with the beach on one side and the Gold Coast Highway through the middle. It's a mix of original beach houses, newer duplexes, small unit blocks and the cafés along the highway.

Being so close to the beach and two creeks, it's warm and damp most of the year. That suits cockroaches, ants and silverfish, and rats like the creek banks and the thick gardens.

We're family-run, with the same technician doing the quote and the treatment, so nothing gets lost along the way.

Common pests in Palm Beach

• Cockroaches: American cockroaches up from drains and under older houses, and German cockroaches in kitchens.
• Ants: small black ants in the kitchen and nests in sandy soil around paths.
• Rats and mice: more common in homes near the creeks, usually heard in the roof at night.
• Spiders: huntsmen, black house spiders around windows, and redbacks in the garden.
• Silverfish: in wardrobes, bookshelves and stored papers, thanks to the salty, humid air.
• Fleas: from pets, and often noticed when someone moves in or out.

Summer is peak cockroach season this close to the beach, especially after a few hot, humid nights. Silverfish hang around all year in damp cupboards.

Older beach houses and duplexes

A lot of the older Palm Beach beach houses sit up off the ground, with timber floors, gaps under the house and plenty of years behind them. Cockroaches and rats love the space underneath, and silverfish move into old cupboards.

Many of the old blocks have been knocked down and replaced with duplexes. If you're in one half of a duplex, pests can move between the two homes through shared walls and roof spaces, so treating just one side doesn't always solve it. We'll tell you honestly if it's worth talking to your neighbour about doing both.

Either way, we treat inside and out, and we'll show you anywhere that looks like a way in.

Pest control Palm Beach FAQs

I live in a duplex. Can you treat just my side?

Yes. We treat your side inside and out. If pests keep coming through from next door, we'll let you know, and we're happy to quote the other side too.

Why do we get so many cockroaches near the beach?

Warm, humid weather and old drains suit them perfectly. A general treatment inside and out knocks them down and comes with a 6-month warranty.

Do you treat cafés on the Palm Beach strip?

Yes. We treat food businesses before or after trading hours and provide the records council expects. See our commercial pest control page.
