Pest Control
At My Pest Control Brisbane we subscribe to the integrated pest management (IPM) approach to pest control.
There are three main elements to this approach:
1. Cultural Control
2. Physical Control
3. Chemical Control
The first thing we do is conduct an inspection of the site in order to determine the pest(s) causing your problem, the extent of the infestation, and the reasons for the problem.
We use this information, along with information you provide us, to formulate a pest management plan to solve your problem
We only use the highest quality branded termiticides and pesticides. They are odourless and you will not have to vacate your property for days waiting for the smell to go away.
We conduct Visual Termite Inspections in accordance with AS 3660.2-2000.

Termites
Prevention is better than cure where termites are concerned.
1 in every 3 homes in Australia is attacked by termites at some stage in its economic life. And latest figures indicate that the annual cost of termite damage now exceeds $1 billion dollars! This is greater than floods, fire and storms put together.
It should be noted that household insurance does not cover the costs of this damage.
In severe cases it can take as little as 3 months for a colony to severely damage the timber in a home.
Australia’s subterranean termites are the most destructive timber pests in the world and include:
Coptotermes acinaciformis
Schedorhinotermes
Mastotermes darwiniensis
What to do if you discover termites
If you find any evidence of termites then immediately contact us.
Don’t panic-they have probably been there a while
Do not disturb the termites
Do not spray them
Do not treat the problem
Termite Inspections
We carry out Visual Termite Inspections in accordance with AS 3660.2-2000.
Australian Standard AS3660.2-2000 recommends that these termite inspections be carried out at least on an annual basis.
Additional inspections are recommended when termite activity/pressure is high.
It should be noted that these inspections will not prevent termite attack but will allow evidence of further termite activity to be detected.
Early detection is vital if damage is to be minimized.
Termite Control
We are required to perform our termite treatments which include treated zone installations and termite baiting programs in accordance with the Australian Standards, manufacturers instructions, product labels and our insurers directives.
This ensures that we achieve effective outcomes whilst complying with the Standards and our Duty of Care to you the client.
Approved methods of preventative termite control and treatments are covered by Australian Standard AS 3660.1 (2000).
The most common include:
Dusting
Foaming
Treated Zones
Baiting and Monitoring
Ant Control
Ants can be found almost anywhere around and in the home.
They eat almost anything consumed by humans including fats, proteins and sugars.
An ant control program will include an internal application of liquid sprays and dusts.
Externally we apply Termidor to the exterior foundation walls of the structure.
Termidor is the leading product for eliminating termite populations in and around homes.
Due to similar biology and lifecycles it is now used for controlling many species of nuisance ants.
It treats the problem at the source, the nest, and can reduce and eliminate overall ant numbers quickly.
Cockroach Control
Cockroaches usually reside in dark, humid places and are mostly nocturnal.
They will eat just about anything including any human food or drink, pet food, dead animals and plant matter.
Only six Cockroaches are serious pests to homeowners in Australia.
They are :
German Cockroach (Blattella Germanica)
This is the most widespread pest cockroach in Australia
Breeds rapidly and favours warm and moist locations such as under refrigerators, stoves and hot water systems.
Australian Cockroach (Periplaneta Australasiae)
Mostly found outside.
Oriental Cockroach (Blatta Orientalis)
Frequently feeding in garbage disposal areas
Smokybrown Cockroach (Periplaneta Fuliginosa)
Mostly found in gardens.
Brownbanded Cockroach (Supella Longipalpa)
Commonly found indoors behind and inside furniture
American Cockroach (Periplaneta Americana)
Prevalent in sewer systems as well as food preparation / eating facilities
A cockroach control program will include internal and external application of liquid sprays,dusts and gels including growth regulators..
Dusting of roof void.
Flea Control
Fleas are small parasitic insects that rely on blood for their nutrition, but can survive for several months without it.
There are over 70 species of fleas in Australia.
They prefer warm and humid climates and typically become a serious pest in the summer months.
Internally-treat harbourages such as carpets and those areas where pets rest or sleep with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide spray containing an insect growth regulator.
Externally-treat all external areas such as subfloors, gardens, lawns, verandahs, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, pet areas etc.
Rodent Control
The three common pest species of rodents found in Australia are:
Norway Rat
Roof Rat
Common House Mouse
They transfer disease by contaminating food, food preparation areas and utensils through contact with their fur, urine and droppings.
They are prolific breeders with a brief life cycle.Mice can fit through a 6mm opening.Rats can fit through a 13mm opening.
A Norway rat can gnaw through a lead pipe.
Rats are creatures of habit whereas mice are more adventurous.
Silverfish prefer damp, moderate temperature places such as basements, laundry rooms and under sinks.
They will almost anything, such as, dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton, linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds, breakfast cereals, wall paper paste, books and papers.
Application of liquid spray base of internal and external walls, eaves, weep holes, cracks and crevices.
Dusting of roof void.
Wasp Control
Wasps are most active in the warmer summer months.
Take care with open soft drink cans, especially during summer. Wasps love sweet liquid and this may lead to stinging of the mouth or throat with potentially serious consequences including respiratory obstruction.
Never approach a wasp nest, as they are more likely to be aggressive when defending the nest.
