General Pest Treatment
General pest treatments specifically target spiders, ants and cockroaches. We recommend a general pest control treatment is completed every 12 months at minimum to keep these pests at bay. However, sometimes an extra treatment is required to completely banish them. That’s why we have a comprehensive warranty on our service.
Spiders
There are many spider species found on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW, some that are harmless that help with the control of insect pests around the home, and some that are much scarier and potentially harmful. Our general pest treatment which we recommend to be completed every 6-12 months, helps to keep spiders under control. There are also practical solutions to keep spiders from coming inside, for example, covering gaps and holes. Our technician can make recommendations for your unique property.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are a fast multiplying pest that carry harmful bacteria, leave odours and can cause significant damage to electrical appliances. They have also been known to cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. They love to hide during the day as they are nocturnal insects and they are usually where you least expect them (Dishwasher cavities, toaster and under the fridge). They can be hard to eradicate once there is an infestation. We use a combination of treatments including liquid sprays, baiting gels and insecticide dusts depending on the type of cockroach and the level of infestation.
Ants
Ants can be a huge nuisance and usually show before and after significant rain. Huge nests have been found inside wall cavities unnoticed by the property owner. A combination of baiting and pest control sprays are often needed to reduce and control ants.

Specific Pest Treatments
While we are carrying out a general pest control treatment, you can let us know if you require a specific pest treatment. Specific pests we treat include rodents (rats and mice), wasps, fleas, bed bugs, mosquitos, german cockroaches, silverfish and of course, termites.
Rodents - Rats & Mice
There are 60 native rodents in Australia but the rodents that cause the most nuisance to residential, commercial and industrial are all introduced. Here on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW, the Roof Rat, Norway/Sewer Rat and House Mouse can cause major issues. This can include food spoilage and contamination, physical damage from gnawing and diseases spread to people. There are many non-chemical solutions to rodent prevention including keeping kitchens clean at night, keeping pet food in solid tight containers, and much more. Our technician can help inform you of these solutions and then also provide a baiting treatment to eradicate any rodents that have taken harbourage in your residential or commercial property.
Wasps
There are 35 native wasp species around Australia and they are important for our eco system. They can also keep pest insects at bay around the home. But the Paper Wasp can be aggressive and tend to create their nests around homes and offices. They create comb like nests and are territorial around the nest which can mean they may sting someone if they get too close. There is also the Mud and Potter Wasps that setup their nests around homes and offices but they are not aggressive. We can offer a service to treat the wasps nests.
Fleas
Fleas can be an issue not only for your pets but also for any persons living or working in the area. Fleas can reproduce and spread rapidly which isn’t ideal as once there is an infestation, they are difficult to control. They can be found in carpet and furniture as well as pet areas. It is best to contact a professional pest technician as soon as possible if you suspect fleas but they can also stay dormant for up to 10 months so prevention can be key. Our technician will talk you through these suggestions so you can stop an infestation from getting out of control in the future.
Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs have been known as nocturnal blood suckers. They can spread easily and can cause illness’ and allergies. They are well known as pests in hostels, backpackers, motels etc as well as our homes. It can be quite difficult to eradicate these pests due to their tight hiding spaces (cracks and crevices in mattresses, coils of springs and upholstery in chairs etc.) and hitchhiking abilities (spreading fast). With the help of your Zapem Pest Management Technician, together you remove these pests from your home or business using chemical and non chemical solutions.
Mosquitos
The Gold Coast's subtropical climate offers the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, with plenty of warm, humid weather and standing water sources for mosquitoes to thrive. These conditions can lead to significant mosquito populations that can quickly turn your backyard barbecue into an itchy nightmare. We offer comprehensive mosquito control solutions tailored to the unique environment of the Gold Coast. Our expertise lies in identifying and eliminating the conditions that allow mosquitoes to breed and thrive. By employing a combination of treatments, we can significantly reduce the mosquito population around your home, allowing you and your family to relax and enjoy the outdoors without the constant swatting.
German Cockroaches
Our comprehensive German Cockroach treatment services are specifically designed to tackle even the toughest infestations effectively and efficiently. Recognising the resilience and rapid breeding capabilities of German Cockroaches, we use a strategic approach that includes a thorough inspection to locate hotspots, followed by the application of industry-leading insecticides and baits that target both adult cockroaches and their eggs. We focus on disrupting their lifecycle to prevent future outbreaks, ensuring your property remains cockroach-free.
Termites
Our Termite Treatment Services offer a comprehensive defense system against timber pests and termites, safeguarding the structural integrity of your home or business. Understanding the devastating impact termites can have, we deploy a meticulous inspection process to identify the extent and location of the infestation. Utilizing advanced treatment methods, including baiting systems, chemical treatment zones, and directly targeted treatments, we not only eliminate current termite populations but also prevent future invasions. Our approach is tailored to the individual needs of your property, ensuring effective, long-lasting protection.
Silverfish
We aim to effectively manage and eliminate silverfish infestations, ensuring your property is protected from the damage these pests can cause to books, clothing, wallpapers, and more. Recognizing the elusive nature of silverfish, our pest technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your home, targeting damp and dark areas where silverfish thrive. We use a combination of safe, cutting-edge insecticides to eradicate silverfish at all life stages, from eggs to adults. Our treatment strategy is not only aimed at immediate elimination but also focuses on long-term prevention measures, such as advising on humidity control to keep your home silverfish-free.
