This tiny suburb is located roughly 33 km from the capital Brisbane and spans an area of 1.882 sq km.
Blacksoil is predominantly a farming town with not a lot of residents. The homes in this area are vulnerable to various types of pests because of its natural environmental as well as the weather.
Here are the pests to watch out for in Blacksoil:
Not a single cockroach should be allowed in your living and working spaces because these pests can contaminate food and surfaces and leave a strange, foul smell in their wake.
They carry harmful bacteria in their bodies that can cause different diseases including diarrhea, dysentery and food poisoning. The oily fluid that they produce stain the surfaces they crawl on, leaving behind a bad smell.
Commercial insect sprays can only work up to a certain extent because cockroaches are mostly active at night, and they tend to hide in dark, unreachable places. The best way to treat a cockroach infestation is by hiring a licensed pest control specialist.
Spiders are unwelcomed in the home because of their cobwebs, which can make a place appear tidy and unhygienic. In addition, there are people who have a legitimate fear of spiders. For these people, the mere sight of spiders trigger feelings of restlessness anxiety or worst panic attacks.
Most spiders are harmless and would rather avoid any encounter with humans. However, there are also venomous spiders that can deliver painful – and deadly – bites. A spider infestation is best handled by experienced pest control specialists who have the know-how to effectively treat spiders.
The presence of rats or mice is never welcome because they make a home feel unhygienic. These pests are also notorious for spoiling foods and transmitting diseases to humans.
When they take occupancy in the place you live or work, they pass urine, droppings and hair, leaving behind a foul smell. Rodents can also cause property damage due to their constant habit of chewing. They can gnaw through wires and cables, which can lead to accidental fires.
Treating and controlling rats or mice can be challenging because they are fast, and you might be dealing with a whole family. The best approach is call for professional assistance from pest control technicians.

High – Very High Risk
According to the Interim Termite Hazard Map by CSIRO, the Ipswich area, where Blacksoil is located, is in the high-risk category for termite infestation.
Because Blacksoil is close to the sea, the area is a good target by drywood termites, which need high moisture content in the timber they attack.
Throughout Queensland, the most commonly found termites are Subterranean termites and Drywood termites.
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 Blacksoil.
