Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Weekends on request. Servicing Brisbane CBD, Greater Brisbane, North Brisbane and Moreton Bay.
Covered by:Speciality services (flies, wasps and mosquitoes). We do not remove bees. Contact a local beekeeper.
Flying insects we treat
House flies
Larger flies that come from outside. They breed in rubbish, compost and animal waste, and get in through open doors and unscreened windows.
Fruit flies
Small flies with reddish eyes, drawn to overripe fruit, spoiling onions and potatoes, spilled drinks and moist drains. They can breed in about a week.
Drain and phorid flies
Small, fuzzy or humpbacked flies that breed in the slimy film inside drains, bin bottoms and damp, decaying material. Phorid flies often run rather than fly.
Mosquitoes
They breed in still water around the home. Larvae develop in water in one to two weeks, so removing water sources matters as much as treatment.
Wasps
Mostly paper wasps, with papery nests under eaves, branches and structures. We inspect and assess the risk before any treatment.
Bees
We do not remove or treat bees. For a swarm, call a local beekeeper.
Flies: find the source first
Drains
Tape a strip of clear tape across the drain overnight. Flies stuck to it show that is the breeding spot. Scrub the pipe with a stiff brush and flush with hot water. Bleach and drain cleaners usually do not fix it.
Kitchen and bins
Remove overripe fruit and vegetables, wipe up spills, and wash out bins, especially the bottom. Check under sinks and in dishwasher and sink waste.
Outside
Rubbish, compost, pet waste and rotting plant matter all breed flies. Screen doors and windows to keep them out.
What we do
We identify the fly, help you find the breeding source and treat where it is needed. Sprays and traps alone only give short-term relief if the source is still there.
Mosquitoes and wasps
Mosquito breeding spots
Pot plant bases, buckets, tarps, tyres, dog bowls, bird baths, gutters, drains, ponds and pools. Any still water can breed mosquitoes.
Reduce mosquitoes yourself
Tip out still water regularly, keep gutters clean, fill pot plant bases with sand, remove containers that hold water, and fit rainwater tanks with mosquito-proof screens (1 mm mesh or finer).
Paper wasps
Generally not aggressive and they eat caterpillars, but they sting if the nest is disturbed. Nests near doors, play areas and clothes lines are the concern. Do not knock down or spray a nest yourself. Keep children and pets away.
If someone is stung
A cold pack can ease the pain. If there is a severe reaction, or a known wasp or bee venom allergy, get urgent medical help and call 000.
What treatment can and cannot do. We treat the areas where adult mosquitoes rest and where wasps nest, and we show you the breeding spots to remove. Treatment reduces numbers. Flying insects come in from neighbouring properties, so we cannot promise a home with none. Flying insect treatment is a Speciality service.
What helps
1
Flies
Drain and phorid flies are common in Queensland. Removing the source is key.
2
Mosquitoes
Larvae develop in water in one to two weeks, so removing standing water matters.
3
Wasps
We inspect and assess the risk before any treatment.
4
Bees
We do not eradicate bees. For a swarm, call a local beekeeper.
