->Extensive damage to air-conditioning units and other roof-top machinery.

At Hornet Pest Control, we know the warning signs of these pests and are busy in the summer ridding commercial and residential properties of termites, cockroaches, mice, mosquitoes, fleas, pigeons and spiders.
Pests love to breed in wet and warm weather, which is why pest infestations are expected during summers in Australia. What’s worse is that the longer it’s hot, the graver the infestations become.
Do something about it now, before it gets hotter. Head to our website to get in contact - www.hornetpest.com.au/gold-coast-pest-control/
Most ants do not pose a health threat, but they can contaminate food by leaving waste behind.
Some can give a nasty bite and other can disturb the ground beneath pavers and pathways leaving them unsightly and a trip hazard.
Ants are a general nuisance and tend to just appear from nowhere once a single crumb has been dropped 🙄🐜
We use a range a methods to treat ants at your property, plus we will discuss when required about the pruning of any branches and plants that may be in contact with your building that can provide the ants with a bridge across any treated areas.
Fleas can live on any warm-blooded animal, but seem to prefer to live on cats, dogs, possums, rats and other rodents. They can also be found on shoes, pant legs, blankets or where pets like to lay. Fleas can also transfer tapeworms and cause anemia in pets. Flea bites cause painful, itchy red bumps.
We treat all external pathways, patio areas, lawns and areas where your pets most frequent. As well as internal floor coverings including carpeted and tiled areas.
If you are having a flea treatment, we recommend that prior to treatment the property is thoroughly vacuumed, floors mopped, your pet’s bedding is removed and treated or replaced, plus your pets flea and tick treatments are up to date!
Using these methods we are completely confident that your property will be flea free and always offer a full 12 month warranty on this type of treatment.
Do houses with concrete slabs require a timber pest inspection?
Yes. The concrete slab is in contact with the ground. Termites can enter through gaps in the slab, through cracking and also through areas where the slab has been penetrated to install pipes for water, electricity, and drainage.
Extensions requiring an adjoining section of concrete slab may also create a gap for termites to enter the dwelling and have access to the internal structures.

Did you know Termites never sleep? They build their colonies 24 hours a day, every day until they die. So while you're sleeping....enough said!
Pictured below is a termite hill! Think of the damage they could be doing to your house! UGH!
Spring is the season for termite swarms - if you see termites on your property you can expect to only see more as the summer goes on.
Termite control is an absolute must if you suspect they’re in your house. Once they’ve found a food source (wood structures on your property) and established a colony it takes serious measures to remove them!
Here what you should do immediately if you’ve discovered termites:
- Don’t spray the termites with anything.
- Don’t remove any wall material or damage any more framing or timber.
- Find yourself some masking tape or gafa tape and cover up any holes or cracks and call us immediately, the less disturbance the better and it is important for us to be able to identify the species of termite that you have just discovered to help us plan the best solution for eradication.
The most effective termite treatments start with a thorough inspection of the property to identify the species and the most effective method that suits your property and budget.
There are a number of eradication methods such as termite baiting, dusting, foaming, and liquid injection which we will discuss with you after the inspection.
Once the termites have been eliminated we will recommend the next steps to preventing future termite attack.
Give us a call today - T: 1300 132 412. M: 0487 088 000.

We use bait gels, liquid sprays, insecticidal dusts, and granules to control ants, and we are completely confident that your property will be ant free. We always offer a full 12-month warranty on this type of treatment ⚡️

1. A cockroach can live for a week without its head.
2. A cockroach can hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can even survive being submerged under water for half an hour.
3. Cockroaches can run up to three miles in an hour, which means they can spread germs and bacteria throughout a home very quickly.

Fact of the day - Did you know that if you see cockroach's around your house it doesn't mean that your house is dirty. 🏘
This is a common misconception that we often hear. Even though thorough cleaning can help reduce the risk it won't eliminate them completely. Cockroaches are commonly found in buildings and homes because they prefer warm environments close to food and water. Unfortunately, cockroaches can cause allergies and trigger asthma attacks, especially in children. They can also spread nearly 33 different kinds of bacteria.😟
Here are some tips to be rid of roaches 👇
➡️ Clean up after all food preparation
➡️ Seal bins tightly and empty regularly
➡️ Regularly vacuum pet hair and clean bowls
➡️ Keep up to date with your annual pest control treatments

This week we started installing bird netting to some horse stables around the Gold Coast turf club. After 2 months of our pigeon trapping and removal program we have removed over 400 pigeons from this one stable and now by netting all of the stables we can assure pigeons will have no where to nest which will help prevent this type of large infestation in the future. The hardest part about this has been working around the horses as they are out training. We have used 19mm netting for this job as it is specifically for all species of bird. Do you have birds problems at your factory or building ?Give us a call we have a solution for types of bird issues. 🦅 🕊

Simon came quickly to the rescue to provide termite protection during my current home renovation. He was prompt, courteous and super efficient. Jason who conducted the installation was also a model of professionalism and efficiency. I am extremely impressed and satisfied with the service Hornet supplies and would highly reccomend them to others in need of pest management. They're prompt and have reasonable rates and do great work. Thanks guys. The fierce Hornet totally rocks!!!!
Solar panels create the perfect nesting environment for birds to nest, as a client discovered when his solar panel where not working correctly. Pigeons had set up multiple nests under the panels and all the panels where completely covered in droppings. We have removed the pigeons and nests and now we are installing bird proofing the panels to prevent other birds roosting under the panels. We will also arrange to have the panels washed down so the client can start get the most out of the solar panels again. Do you have solar panels ? Contact us today , we can inspect your solar panels and provide a quote to install the proofing to prevent this happening at you house of office. 🕊

Through the week we returned to the Arundel property where we had the termite bait station feeding termites on the wall for the past 8 weeks. The termites have successfully been eliminated so we removed the box and cut open the wall to inspect the damage. In this case the client has been lucky and there is only minor damage in the wall. Our builder will now carry out the repairs and we have installed a full termite baiting and monitoring system to the perimeter of the property to ensure this doesn’t happen again. This could have been a lot worse if left any longer. When was the last time you had your house inspected ?? Book now !!
