Pest Control Services in Armstrong Creek
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.

The common pests in Armstrong Creek are the typical crawling pests, especially spiders, ants and cockroaches, with rodents becoming a problem during the colder months. With the wetlands to the east, mosquitoes can also be a problem, particularly in the summer. Like most of Australia, termites are present and are an ongoing concern for homeowners.
Although termites prefer lots of moisture, they still represent a threat to buildings in Armstrong Creek, even more so if there are leaks around the building or gardens that are regularly watered. Annual termite inspections are essential and termite treatments for long term protection are strongly recommended.
Although there are two types of termite treatment – soil treatments and termite baiting systems – as a general rule Geelong Pest Control recommend termiticide treatments to the soil around and under homes in Armstrong Creek as it provides the best value treatment and long-lasting protection.
