Pest Control Colac
Service You Can Trust
Geelong Pest Control provide a full range of pest control and termite services in Colac and across the Colac Otway Council area.
Pest Control Services in Colac
Most homeowners in Armstrong Creek opt for a once-a-year pest control treatment. This general pest treatment covers the common crawling pests such as spiders, large cockroaches, ants, earwigs and millipedes, and comes with a 6-month warranty.
However, as much of Armstrong Creek consists of newly built homes, annual termite inspections are essential to maintain the warranty on any termite protection system installed.
Homeowners can combine their annual termite inspections and general pest treatment into the same services for added convenience and a discount. If your home does not have a termite inspection system in place, homeowners are wise to consider a termite treatment to provide the long-term protection from termites.
For businesses in Armstrong Creek, Geelong Pest Control can provide regular commercial pest control service plans, tailored to your needs.
Protect Your Home and Business from Pests
Key Pests in Colac
Summers in Colac are dry and warm to hot, with the winters cold and wet. Night time temperatures below freezing during winter are common. This type of weather pattern makes summer the key pest season with spiders and ants being the key crawling pests. Flies can also be an issue (of course!) and the nearby water means mosquito numbers can be a problem in summer. European wasps are an occasional, but significant safety concern. As an agricultural area, rodents can be a problem year round, although often the problem increases in winter when they come inside looking for warmth and food.
Termite Inspections and Termite Treatments
Although termites prefer lots of moisture, they still represent a threat to buildings in Colac, especially if there are leaks around the building, or gardens next to the building are regularly watered. Annual termite inspections are essential to check for termite activity and areas of potential threat, with termite treatments needed for long term protection.
Geelong Pest Control recommend termiticide treatments to the soil around and under homes in Colac, as it provides long-lasting protection and is generally the best value treatment. It creates a “termite barrier”, preventing concealed termite access to your home.
