Spring Has Sprung, Here’s Why It’s Prime Time for Pest Control
Spring in Queensland means sunshine, longer days and a whole lot of pest activity. As the weather warms up, insects start breeding, swarming, and looking for food. Here’s what you need to know (and do) to stop them taking over your home.
Ants on Patrol
Ants don’t take a holiday. As soon as the temperatures climb, they go exploring. Cracks in walls, gaps under doors, even the tiniest opening is fair game. Once inside, they’re after the sweet stuff, pet food, or even just a drop of water left in the sink. And the thing with ants? Where you see one, there’s usually a whole army right behind it.
Quick Fix: Wipe spills straight away, sweep up crumbs, store your food in airtight containers, and seal off entry points. The less accessible your kitchen is, the less likely ants are to treat it like their buffet.
Termite Swarm Season
Spring is prime real estate season for termites. This is when they swarm, flying off to start new colonies. If they find timber around your place, they’ll settle in and quietly chew through it. The scary bit? Termites can cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage before you even notice they’re there. By the time you see the signs, it’s usually already a big problem.
Quick Fix: Book a [termite inspection] this spring. Catching them early is cheaper, easier, and far less stressful than waiting until they’ve hollowed out your walls.
Wasps and Other Stingers
Wasps are the builders of the pest world and spring is when construction season begins. You’ll often spot small nests popping up under eaves, in sheds, or tucked into fences and trees. Leave it too long, and that “small” nest becomes a colony of hundreds, ready to defend their turf. And trust us, you don’t want to be the one who disturbs a wasp nest unprepared.
Quick Fix: Keep an eye out for new nests, especially in hidden corners of your property. Deal with them early, or call in professionals before they expand. Safety first, wasps don’t muck around.
