WHAT JIM'S WILL DO FOR YOU
Exterminate or remove any of the following pests from your residential or

Pest Control Gold Coast
Did you know that Jim's has been tackling pests and termites since 2010?
Since our establishment over 10 years ago, we have created a vast network of
knowledgeable pest technicians nationwide. Today, Jim's termite and pest control
are synonymous with the promise of friendly, expert pest control on the Gold
Coast. As the second-largest pest control organisation in Australia, we're
trusted by thousands of customers to keep their homes safe.
We are experienced at controlling a wide array of pests and offer professional
end of lease pest control. Your local technician is fully trained, insured, and
will carry out these services quickly and efficiently.
Getting pest control on the Gold Coast
All kinds of pests are common in properties on the Gold Coast. Whether it's
ants, rodents, possums, spiders, termites, or other creepy crawlies, prevention
is always the best approach. By choosing prevention first, you can stop
infestations before they start while saving money and avoiding excess uses of
chemicals.
One of the best preventative measures is to manage pests with a pest control
spray. We suggest a general spray as it kills any creatures hiding in the home
while protecting you against future invasions.
To ensure maximum efficiency from general pest sprays, we suggest they be
administered every six months, particularly in spring. Due to the Gold Coast's
tendency warm weather, we advise a spring spray before summer's maximum
temperatures, when pests become more prevalent.
For general pest sprays, Jim's Pest & Termite Control Gold Coast uses a
non-toxic spray. Once dry, the spray is safe for children and pets because
protecting your home shouldn't come at the cost of your family and the
environment's safety.
End of lease pest control
End of lease pest control responsibilities can vary depending on your tenancy
agreement. But it's becoming more common for tenants to manage general pests and
fleas in their home, ensuring that the property is free of any pests at the end
of their lease.
With over 60% of households in Australia having a pet, many tenancy agreements
now require tenants to show proof of flea treatment when leaving rental
properties. Flea eggs can lay dormant for long periods, only to hatch and cause
havoc for the next tenant, leading to reductions in your bond or even heading to
the tribunal.
So even if you have not spotted any fleas, it is an excellent idea to have a
professional like Jim's, conduct an end of lease pest control program. Your
local technician is fully screened, licensed, trained, and has the suitable
insurance to carry out your end of lease pest control.
During an end of lease service [link], we carry out a thorough inspection and
follow up with a control measure such as gel, dust, surface spray, or insect
growth regulator. Your local technician can also provide you with evidence to
present to your landlord or real estate to prove service.
Pests on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast has unique pest control needs, with all different kinds of
creatures finding their way into homes and businesses in the area. Your local
technician is skilled at identifying and controlling a wide variety of pests,
including the following.
Ants pest control
Ants may seem like benign bugs, but they can cause problems once they nest on
your property. In warm and dry conditions, ants will seek ways into your home to
find water, food, and shelter. Once inside, they can contaminate food, damage
electrical wiring, and pose health risks.
Your local technician uses a tried and trusted inspection method, baiting, and
spraying to control ants effectively.
Bed Bugs pest control
Next to termites, bed bugs are one of the most concerning pests for homeowners
and tenants. These pests are hard to see but can cause discomforting bites, even
welts and severe allergic reactions.
Despite the name, bed bugs aren't just found in beds. They can be transported
into the home on furniture, bedding, clothing, and suitcases. Once they've taken
up residence inside, they are notoriously difficult to eradicate without
professional help.
DIY bed bug treatments often miss those hiding in the tiny nooks and crannies of
mattresses and other furniture and don't always kill all eggs. With one female
bed bug laying up to 3500 eggs in her lifetime, and these eggs able to stay
dormant for long periods, it's essential to have a professional pest controller
assess the situation if you suspect an infestation.
At Jim's, we can find these tiny bugs with professional inspection methods. Then
we can treat and prevent them from returning.
Bee removal
We know that bees are essential to the environment; that's why we will try to
remove and relocate beehives whenever possible. Unfortunately, not all bees can
be saved, and sometimes termination is necessary.
Bees are usually peaceful creatures, but sometimes they build hives in areas
that may pose a risk to your safety in wall cavities, beneath floors, and in
roof voids. When disturbed, bees may sting, and if they swarm, they are a
considerable risk to you. It's essential to call a professional technician when
you have a bee problem.
Your local Jim's technician will be able to determine if a hive can be safely
removed and relocated or if the colony needs to be exterminated.
Cockroach pest control
Cockroaches prefer dark and dusty areas, so when you spot one out in the open,
it's often a sign of a more extensive infestation. These pests multiple fast,
spread diseases and contaminate food, so it's essential to take care of them
quickly.
Jim's cockroach control program uses a combination of methods to effectively
eradicate and prevent these pests, including thorough inspections, baiting,
dusting, and surface spray.
Flea treatments
Fleas love the warm climate of the Gold Coast. In higher temperatures, they
multiply quickly and can fast become a problem for both you and your pets.
Most pet owners treat their pets for fleas, which is a good start at preventing
these pests from entering your home. But once fleas are inside and laying their
eggs, they can be tough to remove.
Your local technician will use various proven methods to eradicate and prevent
fleas both inside and outside your home, including inspections, dusting, and
safe pesticides. We recommend using an insect growth regulator (IGR) to enhance
our other treatment methods, as they are effective and safe.
Rats and mice pest control
Rats and mice are masters at finding entryways into homes. Once inside, these
tiny creatures can cause huge amounts of damage. They may spread disease, cause
other health problems, and structural damage by chewing through walls, floors,
insulation and cabling.
Jim's are experts in assessing homes for trouble spots and can help you
effectively prevent rats and mice from entering your home. We conduct a thorough
inspection and create a unique plan for your rodent control using baits, traits,
and/or tracking powder.
Mosquito pest control
Mosquitos are common in the temperate Gold Coast climate, in fact, over 40
different species have been found in the Gold Coast area. While they can be
annoying, they also pose a larger health risk. They spread disease by biting an
infected creature and passing it onto the next person they bite.
We offer a range of environmentally-friendly options to control mosquitos, so
you can get back into the outdoors.
Spiders pest control
Australia is known for its dangerous spiders, and the Gold Coast is no
exception. Although not all spiders are deadly, those that are dangerous pose a
significant risk, particularly for children and pets. While those that aren't
dangerous can still be frustrating to have in the home, leaving sticky webs and
dead insects, which may pose problems and indicate other pest issues.
For help with spider prevention and eradication, your local technician can
thoroughly inspect your home, identify any problems, and offer a suitable
treatment plan.
Possums removal
Possums might be cute, but they are also loud and incredibly intrusive. Once
inside your home, they may damage insulation and cabling while keeping you up at
night with their loud noise.
Once these animals have found a home they like, they will usually remain near
the area, so it's essential to get professional advice on possum removal.
At Jim's, we remove possums in effective and humane ways. We will inspect your
home for entry points to prevent possums from coming back, repair them for you,
and then release the possum. You'll be sleeping soundly in no time.
Wasp nest removal
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times without perishing. For those with
allergies, they can be life-threatening. While seeing one can be scary, and you
may be tempted to kill it immediately, please don't. Dealing with wasps yourself
can be dangerous, as you may suddenly be surrounded by a swarm of angry wasps,
putting you at significant risk.
If you spot any wasps or evidence of their nests, call your local technician on
131 546 for advice. We will inspect your property, determine if the nests can be
safely removed, and if not, apply treatment to eliminate these pests effectively
and quickly.
Silverfish pest control
Like many other pests, silverfish thrive on warmth and humidity. They are
destructive little insects and can quickly ruin wallpapers, photo albums, books,
and clothing.
At Jim's, we offer thorough inspections and personalised treatment options to
control silverfish and prevent them from returning.
