Pest Control Main Beach

Pest control in Main Beach

Main Beach is the strip between Surfers Paradise and The Spit. It's mostly apartment buildings, from big towers on the beachfront to smaller blocks in the back streets, with Tedder Avenue's cafés and restaurants and Marina Mirage on the Broadwater side.

In apartment buildings, pests don't stay in one place. Cockroaches travel through shared pipes, bin rooms and service areas, and bed bugs can come in with visitors. Around the cafés and restaurants, bins and deliveries keep cockroaches and rats interested.

The smaller unit blocks in the back streets tend to be older, and they often have more cockroach trouble than the newer towers. Bin rooms, garbage chutes and shared laundries are common hiding spots, so it's worth looking beyond your own kitchen.

We know residents and business owners want things done quietly and properly. We'll explain what we're doing, keep disruption to a minimum, and the same technician will look after you each time.

Common pests in Main Beach

• Cockroaches: German cockroaches in apartment and restaurant kitchens, and bigger ones in bin rooms and car parks.
• Bed bugs: brought in by visitors and holiday guests.
• Rats and mice: around restaurant bins, laneways and building car parks.
• Ants: tiny ants on balconies and kitchen benches, even on high floors.
• Spiders: webs on balconies and around ground-floor gardens.
• Silverfish: in wardrobes and linen cupboards, helped along by the humid sea air.

If you only see the odd cockroach late at night, it may be a big one wandering in from outside. If you're seeing small ones in the daytime, it's more likely a German cockroach problem that needs treating properly.

Cafés and restaurants

For a café or restaurant, regular pest control is far easier than dealing with a problem after a customer spots something. We set up a schedule that suits your business, and come before you open or after you close.

Each visit, we check the kitchen, storage and bin areas, treat where needed, and leave a service report for your records. See our commercial pest control page for more on how we work with food businesses.

For apartment residents, the biggest question is whether the problem is just your unit or the whole building. If cockroaches keep coming back after a treatment, they may be living in shared areas. We'll tell you honestly, and we can quote on common areas for the body corporate.
