Three things worth knowing first.
Written between jobs, about the houses and the pests this part of Brisbane actually gets. Nothing here is a sales page, and two of the three will save you money whether you use us or not.
The northside ant calendar
4 minute read
Which ant turns up in which month around Albany Creek, what each one is after, and what its arrival is telling you about the house it walked into.
What your slab edge is telling you
5 minute read
The five conditions that invite termites into a slab on ground house, how to read the ground around your own place, and which ones you can fix with an afternoon and a shovel.
Before the inspector arrives
4 minute read
How to prepare a house for a timber pest inspection so nothing gets marked inaccessible and the report you pay for is actually worth something.
The one thing
If you only fix one thing, drop the garden bed away from the wall.
Soil and mulch sitting above the slab edge bridge every treated zone there is, and hold water against the footing while they do it. It costs an afternoon and a shovel.
Not covered here
Send us a photo instead.
If you have found something you cannot identify, a photo and a suburb is usually enough for us to tell you what it is and whether it matters.
