Manly, an eastern coastal bayside suburb of Brisbane, is situated about 19 km east of the CBD. The east of the suburb lies Moreton Bay. The suburbs closest to it are Wynnum (to the north), Lota (to the south) and Manly West (to the west).

This haven for coastal lovers combines amazing natural beauty and a trendy café culture. Aspiring or seasoned boat lovers will love Manly, home to the biggest boat harbour facility in the southern hemisphere.

Manly’s appeal is the beautiful island views and the lush protected parklands. All the facilities and amenities you could need, including markets on Sunday and farmer’s markets every second Saturday, shops and restaurants are here. But more appealing is that the city is just 30 minutes away via train, if you get the idea to go for a visit for a change of pace and scenery.

Housing options are diverse – from expensive Bayview living to charming post-war homes, modern apartments, low-set brick buildings, contemporary units and beautiful Queenslanders.

Potential Risks for Pest Infestation

If you have a pest infestation, you most likely have seen the signs already. Almost all pests leave trails and droppings that should alert you to their presence. You will notice damages to your belongings like holes on furniture and clothing. When you see any sign, the next move is which pest is invading your property.

Termite Control

Manly and surrounding suburbs are considered as one of the hot spots for termite attacks on homes in Queensland.

This is probably why termite infestation have been found in unexpected places, including boats. Subterranean termites would normally find their way into homes through the tunnels they’ve made underground. In the case of live termites in a boat, a male and female that were part of swarm may have found each other and the conditions on the boat conducive. Inspecting A boat is hard to inspect because the timber part is encased in fiberglass, making it hard to inspect. But a qualified termite specialist will identify the exact location where infestation is happening. Termites getting into a boat is proof that they have an excellent ability to build a nest as long as they have access to timber, moisture and a constant humid temperature. This spaces could be in a boat, at the top of a penthouse or a stored furniture.

It is also a fact that more than termite species could infest your home. In this house in Manly, pest technicians four types of termites: Coptotermes, Schedorhinotermes, Heterotermes and a native Dry-wood type known as Cryptotermes primus. The smartest move for this kind of infestation is to call a qualified pest technician to eradicate termites with effective and long-term treatments.

Spider Control

Spiders are actually natural pest controllers as they feed on other bugs and insects. They are harmless, but spider infestation is not something that should be ignored either. Spiders can be harmful to your health as some species do bite, which can be fatal if not treated immediately. They can also disturb your peace of mind as they can compromise the hygiene and affect your home environment negatively.

A qualified pest exterminator can thoroughly investigate all nooks and crannies of your home where spiders can potentially hide, identify what type of species they are, and implement an effective treatment and control solution.

They will contaminate your food sources and compromise the overall hygiene of your home, so a cockroach infestation should be taken seriously. They can easily be found in residences, food facilities and healthcare facilities. Cockroaches can contaminate both food and surfaces.

Ant Control

Ants are so common in residential and commercial premises that we tend to ignore their presence. But ignoring them is not smart. Their strong sense of smell allows them to quickly find food and other eatable stuff. Aside from biting, ants can also spread harmful diseases. This is why this common pest should be eliminated from the home, office and commercial premises.

Bed Bugs Control

Bed bugs can infiltrate by hitching a ride on a human who had been in contact with a bed bug-infested bed or carpet. Bed bugs suck the blood of humans, and their bites can be itchy and painful. Bed bug infestation should be attended to immediately because they can affect your health and comfort.

These pests are typically found in dirty beds and hide under carpets, cupboards and mattresses.

You need the expertise of a qualified pest exterminator because bed bugs can reappear if the treatment is not effective. They use specialised products and chemical to treat furniture, beds, carpets and mattresses that may be infested with bed bugs.

Rodent Control

Rodents spread diseases by contaminating food items and cause damage to property by chewing on furniture, clothing and other belongings, and worst, gnaw on electrical wirings which can cause fire.

You can keep rodents away by making sure your pantry, floors and open areas are always clean and tidy, your food is stored in airtight containers, and your waste basins are washed regularly.

Rodents are skilled in hiding and squeezing into tiny, hard-to-reach places. If you have a rodent infestation, call your local pest exterminator to bait, trap and remove the rodents for you.

High – Very High Risk

Termite Hazard Level Gauge image

Because Manly is close to the sea, the area is a good target by drywood termites, which need high moisture content in the timber they attack.

The West Indian drywood termite, is the world’s most destructive drywood termite. It is the culprit to massive economic damage to timber houses in Queensland, including properties in Manly.

  • A coastal environment like Wynnum is prone to termite and vermin attacks.

  • The number one thing that attracts termites is water or moisture. It is almost a guarantee that if a home has water leakage problems, it will soon be invaded by termites, if it hasn’t been already.

  • Damage to homes, whether made from weatherboard, is likely if termites, or white ants, are left unchecked.
