Sandgate is a beautiful coastal suburb with stunning architectural styles that evoke bygone eras. However, the warm climate and relaxed beach lifestyle attract pests that can damage homes and put family health at risk. Eradicating pests quickly and taking preventative measures can save households thousands in repair costs.
Sunshine Pest Management offers comprehensive inspections, treatments and ongoing termite barrier protection to protect families and their homes. They have recently merged with Flick Anticimex. To know more about Sandgate Pest Control, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.
The coastal suburb of Sandgate is known for its beautiful architectural styles that conjure up bygone eras. However, the warm weather and older timber structures also make it a prime location for pest infestations that can lead to damage to your home and health issues for your family.
That’s why you need a trusted name in pest control that can offer regular inspections and preventative treatments to protect your home against all types of pests. Sunshine Pest Management is a locally owned and operated company that provides thorough pest inspections, treatment and ongoing pest management services.
Flick is proud to announce the acquisition of Sunshine Pest Management, a commercial, residential, and pre-construction pest control business located in Brighton, QLD. The business will merge with our existing Queensland branch. The combined operations will continue to provide local and national customers with a comprehensive range of pest services. A customer focused approach to customer service is the driving force behind this merger.
Termites are a destructive pest of wooded areas, and can cause serious damage to homes and other buildings. They are social insects that live in colonies and work together. They are commonly called “silent destroyers,” as they eat non-stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and often go unnoticed until it is too late.
Termite workers feed the colony by transferring food to dependent castes through mouth feeding or anal feeding (present only in lower termite families). This transfer is accomplished through a pastelike regurgitation of chewed wood and saliva or a clear liquid discharged from anal openings.
Termites are attracted to moist areas in and around your home, including crawl spaces and leaking air conditioning condensation pans. Poor drainage in your yard may also create an environment conducive to termite activity, so ensure your soil is graded to direct stormwater away from the house and other structures. Look for signs of a termite infestation, such as wood that sounds hollow when tapped, dotted or bubbling paint, and mud tubes on exterior walls or crawl spaces.
Cockroaches can spread germs and allergens in your home that trigger asthma and allergies. They can also contaminate food.
These scavengers can be found in sewer drains, crawl spaces and basements and are often found under sinks or refrigerators. Adult males have fully developed wings and are a darker colour than females, which only develop wing stubs. They can fly but only for short distances.
Females produce an egg case, or ootheca, that contains 16 to 50 eggs. Once the eggs hatch, nymphs undergo an incomplete form of meiosis that results in diploid offspring (diploids are not fertile). The entire cockroach life cycle from egg to adult takes about three years. Caulk cracks and crevices in your home to prevent cockroach entry. Store food and liquids in pest-proof containers and use baits to control the population. Place escutcheon plates over points where plumbing enters the wall to restrict movement of cockroaches. Ensure garbage bins have tight-fitting lids.
Ants are some of the most common pests causing damage to homes and businesses. They are a scavenger species that can find food in many places, including carpet, linen, and wood. Ant infestations are difficult to control and often require professional treatment. You can minimise the chances of a pest infestation by practicing sanitation, sealing entry points, and eliminating food sources.
Cockroaches are one of the most harmful crawling pests, as they spread disease-causing organisms in homes, restaurants, and hospitals. They are also a health risk for pets and children. You can keep cockroaches away from your home by regularly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and keeping food in sealed containers.

Bed bugs are often seen in dirty bedding and can be extremely uncomfortable for homeowners. They feed on human blood and are known to spread diseases like plague and Lyme disease. You can protect your family and pets by getting rid of bed bugs with professional treatments.
