FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PEST CONTROL CAIRNS
How often should I get a termite inspection in Cairns?
Because Cairns has a humid, tropical climate highly conducive to termite activity, it is strongly recommended to get a professional termite inspection at least once every 12 months. For properties located in high-risk tropical areas or those with a history of timber pests, inspections every 6 months provide the best long-term protection.
Does home insurance cover termite damage in Queensland?
No, standard home and contents insurance policies in Australia do not cover structural or cosmetic damage caused by termites or white ants. Property owners bear the full cost of repairs, which is why annual professional building and pest inspections are essential to catch activity early..
What should I do to prepare my house for a general pest control spray?
To prepare for your pest control service, please clear items away from your skirting boards, put away exposed food or cooking utensils, and ensure floors are vacuumed and clear of children's toys or pet dishes. If you have birds or fish tanks, ensure they are fully covered or relocated to a well-ventilated area before treatment begins.
How long do I need to wait to mop after a pest control treatment?
For best results, we recommend avoiding mopping or washing your floors for 5 to 7 days after an internal general pest spray. This allows the residual treatment to dry and properly bond with the surfaces. If you must clean, mop only the middle sections of the room and strictly avoid wiping the skirting boards.
How much does pest control cost in Cairns?
The cost of pest control in Cairns varies based on your property size, the specific pests being targeted (like ants, cockroaches, or spiders), and the severity of the infestation. While a general treatment or a visual termite inspection typically starts at affordable rates, we offer personalized, transparent quotes with zero hidden fees. Contact our local Cairns team today for a tailored price.
What is Termidor and how does it work?
Termidor is a premium, non-repellent chemical treatment used for long-term termite control. Its active ingredient, Fipronil, utilizes a unique "transfer effect." When termites come into contact with it, they unknowingly carry it back to the colony, effectively eliminating the entire nest and protecting your structure for years.
How do you treat Termites?
Treatments are non repellant chemicals that are applied by digging the dirt and saturating with Fipronil such as Termidor. Concrte sections are drilled so that the chemical can be injected into dirt under floor.This method gives many years control & protection
How are small black ants controlled?
Ants are best controlled by spraying with transfer effect pesticide and back up with baiting. Using products with no repellancy and quick action spraying ensures all queeens are killed to control colony. Follow on inspections and further spraying is sometimes required.
What is Fipronil how does it work?
Fipronil is a chemical used for termite control sold under various trade names such as Termidor and Fipforce. This non repellant product must be injected into the soil abutting the building and under the floor.
