Pests in Nerang

Like much of the Gold Coast, termites, ants, cockroaches and spiders are the most common pests in Nerang.

Mosquitoes and biting midges can also be a problem, especially in areas closer to the river.

Funnel ants can also be a problem in yards, depending on the soil type and grass variety present.

Risks of a Termite Attack in Nerang

The chances of your home coming under termite attack in Australia is around 1 in 5, but in Nerang it is closer to 1 in 3. Not only is Queensland generally a high pressure area, but Nerang is real termite hotspot. This is due to the high rainfall received due to the proximity to the dividing range, the warmer temperatures inland from the coast and the surrounding bush areas which provide an endless supply of new termite queens looking to set up new nests!

Being an area of high termite pressure, installing a termite protection system around your home, as well as having your annual termite inspection is highly recommended. In fact, due to the termite pressure in some areas, we recommend termite inspections every six months.

Nerang river

The closeness to the dividing range and Nerang river, create ideal pest breeding conditions, meaning that regular pest treatments (once or twice a year) along with an annual termite inspection are recommended.
