Bellthorpe is a rural suburb in the Moreton Bay Region.
A significant part of the suburb is protected within the Bellthorpe National Park.
In 2016, it had 124 residents.
The Bellthorpe National Park is situated west of the Glass House Mountains, at the southern end of the Conondale Range, about 85 km north-west of Brisbane. It features open eucalyptus forest, rainforest and cascades along Stony Creek. During summer, the roads within the park are ideal for four-wheel-driving experiences.
Potential Risks for Pest Infestation
Bellthorpe has few residents compared to other suburbs in the Moreton Bay Region, but they still face the threat of pest infestation due to their location, the proximity of a national park full of trees.
Termite Control in Bellthorpe
Termite is a serious concern in Bellthorpe because it is within Bellthorpe National Park. The forestry and gumtree indexes in the area are high as well as the paperbark index.
These woof-eating pests will devour any materials that contain cellulose, such as paper and cardboard. They are often mistaken for ants, but in truth, they are closely related to cockroaches, any menace to property owners everywhere.
Because they feed 24 hours a day throughout the year, termites cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. They cause greater damage than floods, fires and storms combined. Insurance doesn’t cover termite damage, so homeowners and property owners are advised to do regular termite inspections and make sure their termite barrier is up to date.
Spider Control
The spiders commonly found in Australia are the Garden Orb Spider, Funnel-Web Spider, Redback Spider, White-tail Spider and Huntsman Spider.
Spiders spread fear among households. Though only a few of them are considered dangerous, you don’t need to handle your spider infestation yourself. Call spider control experts for professional assistance. There is no need to eliminate spiders. They are an essential part of the ecosystem. In gardens, they feed on bugs such as moths, flies and caterpillars. While you’re afraid of spiders, they are more likely to be wary and steer clear of you.

Bellthorpe Termite Hazard Level
High – Very High Risk
According to the Interim Termite Hazard Map by CSIRO, the Moreton Bay area, where Bellthorpe is located, is in the high-risk category for termite infestation.
Because Bellthorpe 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 Bellthorpe.
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.
