Pest Control Parkwood

Pest control in Parkwood

Parkwood is a quiet, established suburb sitting next to Griffith University and the Gold Coast University Hospital. The streets are mostly family homes on good sized blocks, with plenty of trees and parks, and the light rail runs along the edge.

Being so close to the uni and the hospital, a lot of homes are rented out, sometimes to students or hospital staff sharing a house. That means people moving in and out often, which brings its own pest problems.

We're a family business, and you'll talk to the same technician whether you're the owner, the tenant or the property manager.

Common pests in Parkwood

• Cockroaches: German cockroaches in busy shared kitchens, and big ones from drains and gardens.
• Bed bugs: they travel in luggage and second-hand furniture, so houses with lots of people coming and going are more at risk.
• Ants: trails across benches and into the pantry.
• Spiders: huntsmen inside and redbacks around the yard and shed.
• Rats and mice: in roofs, especially in homes with big trees overhanging.
• Fleas: left behind by a previous tenant's pets.

Cockroaches in shared kitchens are a year-round problem, but they breed faster in summer. Rats are more likely to be heard in the roof from autumn onwards.

Shared houses and rentals

In a shared house, everyone has their own room and their own habits, and food tends to get left out. That's how German cockroaches get a foothold in the kitchen. A treatment works best when everyone does their bit for a few weeks afterwards: wiping benches, not leaving dishes overnight and keeping food sealed.

Bed bugs are the other one to watch. If someone brings home a second-hand mattress or comes back from travelling, they can spread through a house quickly. If you see small bites in a line or little dark spots on the mattress, call us early. Bed bug treatments take two visits.
