Common Pest Problems In The Gold Coast Area

trusted building and pest inspection experts
Sometimes, there really seems to be no way to escape pests. Even if you have managed to get rid of the ants, roaches and fleas inside your home with the use of some pesticides, they usually come back after a few days or so. And even if your property’s interior is pest-free, you may still encounter some rodents, spiders and termites outside your home, in the garden or in your garage.

Usual Pest Problems In Gold Coast


Gold Coast residents also have to contend with pest problems frequently. The following are some of the common types or species of pests found in this area:

Cockroaches. The most common varieties of roaches found on the Gold Coast include the German, American and Oriental cockroaches. Cockroach problems are more usual during the warmer months of October through to April but can still be found in and around most properties all year round.

Redback spiders. Redbacks are very common on the Gold Coast. Mature female redbacks are jet black spiders with a variable red stripe on their back; as such, they are easily identifiable. Young females are smaller and usually brown with whitish markings.
A bite from a redback spider is poisonous and as such, they should never be touched.

Fleas. Fleas are a common problem on the Gold Coast and throughout Australia.  They feed off the blood of humans and animals such as dogs and cats. They also spread diseases that include tapeworm and occasionally typhus.
