Services
Cockroach Pest Control
Our cockroach control targets breeding areas and establishes protective zones using safe, effective treatments. With expertise in eliminating German, American, and Oriental cockroaches, we guarantee long-term solutions. Our methods combine baits, insecticides, and IPM techniques while ensuring pet and child safety. Clients receive post-treatment advice to prevent recurrence.
Termite Inspection
Comprehensive termite inspections cover internal, external, and subfloor areas. We identify entry points and provide detailed reports with treatment options. Services include localised liquid termiticides, baiting systems, and foam treatments. Annual inspections are recommended to prevent structural damage from subterranean termites.
Bed Bug Treatment
Our bed bug services use heat treatments and EPA-approved chemicals to eliminate infestations. We inspect mattresses, furniture, and hiding spots, followed by thorough treatments. Clients receive preparation guidelines and prevention tips. Commercial solutions are available for hotels and rental properties.
Commercial Pest Control
Tailored pest management for offices, restaurants, and warehouses. Services include quarterly treatments, ant/cockroach management, and bed bug removal. We use eco-friendly products to protect employees and customers while minimising business disruption through after-hours scheduling.
Timber Pest Inspection
Certified inspectors examine timber structures for termites, borers, and decay fungi. Inspections cover roof voids, subfloors, and outdoor areas. We provide detailed reports and treatment plans, including chemical barriers and timber replacement. Annual checks are advised to maintain structural integrity.

Terry was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. He was professional and thorough and even asked me what else he could do to put my mind at ease. I also learnt a few things about the right bates to get, etc. All at a very reasonable price. Would recommend him to anyone.

We had Terry come around to do pest control. He was prompt, professional, knowledgeable and appreciative that we had concerns with having a baby and animals in the house. He took his time to explain it all to us and we are super happy with the results. Highly recommend.

Terry was terrific at giving me piece of mind. He helped me rid my garden of termites and advised me how to manage it going forward. I would highly recommend giving Terry a call if you have any worries or doubts regarding any persistent ants or termites. I will always turn to Terry in FNQ for help where this is concerned. Thanks Terry. See you in a year Annie from Palm Cove
