Service areas
Twenty suburbs we know well.
Albany Creek out to Petrie in the north, Samford Valley in the west, Carseldine in the east. About thirty kilometres, which is as far as we can go and still get back for a warranty callback the same week.
Drawn, not borrowed
Real positions, one scale on both axes, no map tiles and no third party script. The dashed line is the edge of where we normally go, not a legal boundary.
Just outside it
Ring anyway. We take work at Dayboro, Kallangur and Mitchelton when the diary allows, and we will tell you straight rather than book you and cancel.
Why this pocket
Creek flats on one side, bushland on the other.
Albany Creek sits on that edge, and it is the reason the ant and termite pressure here is what it is. Coastal browns push up through the slab in the dry, and the wet brings everything else in off the reserve.
Suburb by suburb
What we find where.
Twenty pockets, and they do not behave the same. This is the shorthand we use in the ute.
-
Albany Creek
Home base. Creek flats on one side, Bunyaville on the other, which is the reason for the ant and termite pressure here.
-
Bridgeman Downs
Large blocks and long perimeters. Barrier jobs here are priced by the metre for a reason.
-
Eatons Hill
Newer slabs, buried slab edges under landscaping. The most common finding is a garden bed built over the edge.
-
Cashmere
Bush boundary the whole way along. Six month termite intervals rather than twelve on the back fence blocks.
-
Warner
Estates on cut and fill. Retaining walls and stumps are where the nest usually is.
-
Bunya
Acreage against the reserve. Rodent proofing at the eaves matters more here than the bait does.
-
Ferny Hills
Older brick and timber, plenty of subfloors we can actually get into.
-
Arana Hills
Post war homes with high set timber. Borer and decay show up as often as termites.
-
Everton Hills
Slab on ground with mature gardens pressing against the wall. Mulch line is the usual problem.
-
Everton Park
Townhouses and duplexes. Most work here is booked through a body corporate.
-
McDowall
Backs onto Raven Street reserve. Coastal brown ants push through the slab every dry spell.
-
Aspley
Long established gardens and a lot of rendered weep holes that were never left open.
-
Carseldine
Mixed old and new. Pre purchase inspections are most of what we do out here.
-
Bald Hills
Low lying and wet after a storm run. Moisture readings matter more than anything else.
-
Strathpine
Shops and food premises alongside the housing, so a lot of the commercial programs sit here.
-
Bray Park
Older slabs with expansion joints that have opened. Cold joints get treated on every barrier.
-
Brendale
Industrial and light commercial. Bin bays, grease traps and roller door gaps.
-
Lawnton
Pine River flats. Rodents move inland off the river every cold snap.
-
Petrie
Our northern edge. Still inside the thirty kilometres, still a standard call out.
-
Samford Valley
Acreage, sheds, stumps and fence lines. Inspections take longer and we price them that way.
Booking
Same rates everywhere.
There is no travel surcharge inside the thirty kilometres, including Samford Valley and Petrie. Acreage costs more because it takes longer, not because it is further away.
