COMMON PESTS WE TREAT

Pests treated at your home or commercial properties include:

Close Up Termites — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

These destructive pests are sometimes called silent destroyers since they can chew through timber, floors, walls and even foundations without being detected until it is too late.


There are thousands of different termite species and they create billions of dollars in damage to houses every year.
 
We offer prevention and treatment services for commercial and residential properties in order to eliminate existing infestations and prevent new ones from establishing.


This is achieved through deep root injection treatment and under-slab protection during construction and renovations.

A Cat Flea — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

Our flea treatment services include treating all your soft furnishing and carpets to eliminate your flea infestation.


We will also apply a preventative treatment called Homeguard.


This will transform fabrics, carpets and upholstery into a hostile environment for fleas, reducing the chances of a re-infestation.

A Huntsman Spider — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

Spiders reproduce quickly. For spiders not to pose a risk to you or your family, a quick response is essential.


An effective program for the eradication and control of spiders on your premises requires accurate identification of the pests.


Not only will your household be safer, but it will also be easier to clean without those annoying spiderwebs appearing in difficult to reach places.

Cockroach Pest Control — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

We have extensive experience in removing cockroaches from a range of properties.


In addition to eliminating your roach infestation, we also offer post-treatment preventative advice, reducing the risk that the roaches will strike again!

Commercial Pest Control

Workplace pest infestations are just as important to control as home infestations. This is especially true if your commercial enterprise stores or prepares food.
 
Toowoomba restaurants and commercial enterprises that handle food are subject to Health Department prosecution if they become infested with pests.


Their reputation will suffer severely as a result, so pest control and treatment are essential.
 
Our experts at
Holloway & Co can smell rats from a mile away, so if you have a rodent infestation, contact us as soon as possible.

Colony Of Ants — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

Ants may be searching for food if you see them crawling on the floor. The presence of these ants, however, might indicate an ant infestation.
 
You can remove small garden ant infestations using DIY products available at supermarkets and hardware stores.


For larger problems or other species, you should speak with our experts.
 
Having the right solution that is effective and appropriate for the ant problem is a key aspect of our pest control services.


You can rest assured that all of our treatments are safe for pets and family members.

Closeup Of A Rodent — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

We recognise that it's not enough to simply get rid of the offending rodent: it's also important to remove the means by which the rodents can enter your property, as well as make sure there isn't a nest hidden away somewhere on site.


Our thorough approach uses a combination of elimination and prevention, keeping the risk of a repeat rodent invasion to an absolute minimum.


Besides being harmful to your health, rodents can also extensively damage your property, chewing through wooden furniture, floors, floor joists, door joists, and walls.


In addition to chewing on electrical wires and damaging insulation, rats can present a fire hazard to your family and home.
 
By providing effective rodent treatment measures that are safe for your family, we can help you avoid these health risks and costly damages to your home.


We examine your home for signs of rodent activity, determine what kind of rodent is present, and determine possible entry points for rodents. Once we have inspected your home, we will take the necessary measures to ensure it is safe and any problems are addressed.

Close Up Of Flying Bees — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

We regret the fact that bee populations have been declining dramatically over recent years and our food supplies would become inaccessible if the bee population continues to decline.
 
In order to avoid using chemicals to remove the bees, we will always try to relocate them with chemical-free bee removal techniques.


Bees, honeycomb, and the hive are safely and humanely removed during this process.


However, there may be variations in how the hive is removed depending on the circumstances.
 
If you are having issues with wasps, our team can safely exterminate them.

A Giant Root Borer — Termite Control in Toowoomba, QLD

Insect Control

Common insects we remove include lice, woodworm, beetles, borers, bedbugs and mites can all take up residence in your home or business.


A threat to hygiene, they may also cause considerable structural damage if not dealt with promptly.


Our chemical control methods will ensure that your property is free from nasty pests.

Our pest control services are performed to the highest standard, complete with a 12-month warranty. Often, we can even complete the job on the same day as your quote.


OUR PEST CONTROL PROCESS

Before we begin our pest control treatment, we undertake a comprehensive inspection of your property so we know exactly the extent of damage or protection required. This includes:


  • identifying and confirming the pests you want taken care of
  • determining the specific sites required for treatment
  • assessing both potential property and environmental risks and factors
  • recommendations for the property owner on the best course of action

We check your premises carefully in order to accurately identify the nature of the infestation. Whilst some unwanted wildlife is fairly obvious, other pests may remain undetected until their numbers become quite high. Our rigorous inspections and accurate identification of the troublesome species enable us to offer the right pest control solutions.

Depending on the situation, our qualified pest technician will apply a range of pesticide and/or insecticides to ensure effective control of pests that plague your home.


Our technician will ensure that the application of any chemicals or treatments are done with your family's best interests at heart, taking care of important factors like your home, your family and your pets.


If the treatment is only needed for a specific area, application will be relatively quick and simple. However, if multiple locations require control, a broader treatment plan may be required.


If more than one visit to your home is required, our pest technicians will discuss the need for any follow-up visits, both for monitoring any new pests and measuring the effectiveness of the treatment. If these are required, our technicians will be upfront and transparent with you on the process.

Upon completing our pest control treatment, our technician will provide you with the relevant documentation detailing the work done and any further recommendations to help you keep your home pest free. This will also cover details regarding our service warranty.


If you have any further questions regarding the treatment, or any issues that have arisen during our service, there's no better time to ask. We're always happy to help our clients in any way we can.

PEST CONTROL SERVICES


The high-quality Australian government registered products we use are low irritant and low odour. All work performed by our company has an extensive warranty.

Our Pest Control Methods

Pests like termites can cause havoc when it comes to your property. We offer a full range of services to detect and prevent infestations so your premise retains its value and structural integrity. All of our pest detection, prevention and eradication methods are safe for you and your family and highly effective at preventing pests from taking over your property.

Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections

Purchasing a property is a big commitment and it is vital that you carry out your due diligence before finalising or settling on the property. Having a pre-purchase pest inspection is an imperative step to ensure there is no hidden infestation or structural damage.
 
Our team will carry out a comprehensive inspection using state-of-the-art equipment that will locate the presence of any potentially harmful pests and the damage they have already inflicted onto the property. This can help you get a discount on the property to have the right extermination carried out, or back away from purchasing the property entirely.


Physical & Chemical Barriers

To have the most comprehensive protection against termites and other damaging pests, it is recommended that you have both physical and chemical barriers to prevent them from infiltrating your property. Physical barriers include mesh, plastic or other solid shields that can also be coated in chemicals to stop the march of insects and other pests.
 
Chemical treatment can include trenches being dug around your foundations and impregnated with chemicals that deflect pests while remaining safe for your children and pets because they are located underground. These chemicals may also be injected into holes in the timber or concrete in your foundations or building.



Baiting & Monitoring Systems

A common issue with termites is that it can be difficult to reach the entire colony. Our baiting and monitoring service effectively eliminate termites in the walls of your property and the external colony that could create problems down the track.
 
The baiting and monitoring process involves a feeding station being placed above a space where there is known termite activity. They are attracted into the feeding station and become infected with a chemical that makes them unable to replace their skin when they shed it. They return to the colony and infect the rest of the termites, which then all die off when they shed their skin.



Borer Treatment for Timber

The termite is not the only insect that can cause major damage to the timber structures of your home. The borer beetle is another common culprit and, by the time they are detected, it can often be too late. The adults lay eggs in your timber and the juvenile larvae cause damage as they feed for their development.
 
Preventing this from happening is the best strategy and we can apply a low-toxicity chemical treatment to your timber that will prevent the juvenile larvae from causing damage in the first instance. It also helps to prevent fungal damage and ward off a number of insects that can cause damage to your home.
 

Pre-construction pest barriers

If you are building a new home or business, protecting it from termites and other pests is vital. Waiting until later for extermination processes might mean you already have extensive damage to your premises, so it is always best to have the right preventative measures put in place while construction is taking place.
 
Our team can work with your builder and contractors to include physical and chemical termite barriers and treatments to prevent other pests from setting in. That way, when you move into your new premises you can be assured that you are protected from infestation.

BENEFITS OF PEST CONTROL

Unseen intruders such as termites and rats can turn your dream house into a nightmare, that's why there a number of advantages to pest control for your property.

  • KEEP YOUR HOUSE STRUCTURALLY SOUND

    One of the biggest nightmares for any homeowner is insects on the attack. Termites in particular can ruin the timber structures of a house, eating away at the woodwork before they are noticed. This is why it is so important to have pest management strategies in place. Our team at Holloway & Co specialise in Termite Control.


  • REDUCES ALLERGIES

    There are a growing number of children and adults with allergies to insects. A surprising number of children have been diagnosed with allergy triggered asthma related to cockroach infestation of their properties. Combating bedbugs, mosquitoes and flies will reduce skin irritations and can assist in combating breathing and lung problems such as asthma.


  • KEEP YOUR FURNITURE HEALTHY

    Another problem which is caused by infestations of insects such as termites can be damage to furniture. These and like creatures are so destructive that they will feed upon cloth fibres, wooden panelling and anything else in between. Moths and similar insects can also eat at carpets and clothes, leaving you with ragged shirts and trousers.


  • KEEP YOUR FOOD PROTECTED

    One of the biggest nightmares for any homeowner is insects on the attack. Termites in particular can ruin the timber structures of a house, eating away at the woodwork before they are noticed. This is why it is so important to have pest management strategies in place. Our team at Holloway & Co specialise in Termite Control.

    Fleas/Ants – 1-2 months.

  • Do I need to remove items from cupboards during pest control?

    On the whole, yes. At Holloway & Co we have a variety of environmentally friendly treatments available. Of course, caution should always be used when considering using any kind of chemicals in areas where children or pets frequent.
