Having a general pest treatment once a year will keep most pests at bay. An annual termite inspection is also essential for homeowners as termites can cause considerable damage to a property in a short space of time. Many opt to have their house sprayed at the same time as their termite inspection as it is the most cost-effective way.

Key Pests in Currumbin

Termites are always the pest of most concern for homeowners. With plenty of moisture in the air and warm temperatures almost year round, termites are always busy!

With Currumbin Creek winding its way through the residential areas, mosquitoes and biting midges can be a nuisance for many people. Spiders, ants and cockroaches also make a regular appearance, especially after heavy rainfall or a prolonged dry spell.

A general pest treatment will keep most pests away, but for specific pest problems we have a number of specialised treatments that are designed to target a particular pest.

Termite inspections and treatments in Currumbin

In areas of high termite pressure, such as Currumbin and the wider Gold Coast area, it is recommended that homes are inspected for termites a minimum of once a year. This recommendation is made by government bodies, building authorities and Australian Standards.

Our professional termite inspections will not only pick up any signs of termite activity but will also assess your property for conditions and construction faults that may make your home more likely to suffer a termite attack. Having a home inspected twice a year offers a greater level of protection and is the recommended option for those without a termite management system in place.

A termite protection system is typically either a treatment that is applied to the soil around the home to create an invisible termite barrier, or a baiting system. Modern termite protection solutions are discreet and installed with minimum impact on the property. As standard home insurance policies do not cover damage caused by termites, a termite protection system fills the gap. It also means that a termite inspection is only required once a year rather than twice a year.

About Currumbin

Currumbin is nestled between Palm Beach (to the north) and Tugun (to the south), with the Gold Coast Highway running through the centre. It is located on the land of the Yugambeh people, with the name ‘Currumbin’ taken from the Bundjalung language.

The area has a history of banana growing, dairy farming and timber working. In the late 1930s two guesthouses and a few stores serviced the local community and the weekend holidaymakers who arrived by rail and road. Today, it is known as a surfing hotspot and is a popular destination for families due to its popular wildlife sanctuary and rock pools at the upper part of Currumbin Creek.

Having a subtropical climate, Currumbin is a haven for pests that thrive in the warm temperatures and humid environment. Homeowners and business owners need to be vigilant about pest management in order to keep properties free from pests.
