Gold Coast Pest Services in Mudgeeraba

Gold Coast Pest Service are fully licensed and insured to provide a full range of pest control and termite services in Mudgeeraba, including:

A general pest treatment undertaken once a year, usually in spring, will keep pests at bay. Often referred to as a “spider spray”, many homeowners opt to have their home treated at the same time as having their annual termite inspection. Having both services carried out at the same time is the most cost-effective and practical option.

Key Pests in Mudgeeraba

Termites are the number one pest in Mudgeeraba, as they thrive in areas where the soil has a high moisture content.

Humid summers and mild winters also make the area a hotspot for cockroaches, spiders and ants.

With both Bonogin Creek and Mudgeeraba Creek winding through the area, biting midges and mosquitoes can often be a nuisance. If the pest pressure is high, it may be worth opting for one of our professional mosquito treatments, particularly for outdoor entertaining areas.

Termite inspections and treatments in Mudgeeraba

With termites being particularly active in the area, it is recommended that homeowners have their properties inspected for termites at least once a year, if not twice a year. This is the advice given by building authorities, government bodies and Australian Standards.

The job of a professional termite inspector is to detect signs of termite activity by looking for small indicators such as mud tubes and soil disturbance that are very difficult to spot without an expert eye. In the report, our inspectors will also note any features or faults of the property that may make termite attack more likely. Recommendations for follow-up actions will also be given.

Of course, the best way to protect a property is to have a termite protection system installed. This should be considered an investment in the home, much in the same way as you’d protect it from flood and fire. Which makes sense given that termite attack is statistically much more likely!

About Mudgeeraba

Just a short drive inland from the coast, Mudgeeraba is close enough to the modern conveniences of Robina while retaining a small community feel. Boomerang Farm Golf Course and the Hinterland Regional Park are two highlights of the area, and two very different ways to appreciate the lush tropical beauty of the area.

Similar to other areas in the region, the land was traditionally held by Aboriginal people speaking the Yugambeh language. In the 1860s, Europeans arrived in the area and set up their trades of timber getting and saw milling, later turning to dairy farming. Evidence of the area’s heritage themes can be seen in local architecture and signage throughout the village. 

The Mudgeeraba Hotel, which opened in 1883, has seen significant renovations over the years and operates today under the name The Wallaby Hotel.
