Pest Control Surfers Paradise

Pest control in Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise is the busiest part of the Gold Coast, with high-rise towers along the beach, Cavill Avenue in the middle and the Nerang River on the other side. Most people here live in apartments, and plenty of those are holiday units with guests coming and going every few days.

That constant movement of people and luggage changes which pests turn up. Bed bugs and German cockroaches are the big ones in Surfers, while the river-side homes see more spiders and the odd rat.

We're a family business, and you'll deal with one technician who knows your building.

Common pests in Surfers Paradise

• Bed bugs: carried in suitcases from all over, and the biggest worry for holiday letting.
• Cockroaches: German cockroaches in apartment kitchens and food businesses, spreading through shared plumbing.
• Ants: on balconies and in kitchens, even many floors up.
• Rats and mice: around bin rooms, car parks and restaurants.
• Spiders: on balconies and windows, especially in the riverside homes.

Bed bugs aren't tied to a season, but they turn up more during the busy holiday periods when more guests are coming and going. Cockroaches are worst in the humid summer months.

Holiday apartments and short stays

If you manage or own a holiday apartment, one bad review mentioning bed bugs or cockroaches can hurt bookings for months. Guests arrive from everywhere, and bed bugs can hitch a ride in any suitcase.

We can treat between guests and fit in around your bookings. For bed bugs, the treatment takes two visits, and we'll tell you exactly how to prepare the apartment. For cockroaches, regular treatments are the best way to make sure guests never see one.

We also work with building managers to treat several units or a whole building at once.

If you look after a building, keeping bin rooms clean and sealing gaps around pipes makes a big difference between treatments.
