Belli Park is a rural town in the Sunshine Coast, with 679 residents as of 2016.
It lies about 113 km from the capital Brisbane and covers an area of 83.393 sq km.
Almost all residential properties in Belli Park are separate houses. The town is mostly bushland, but it is also just half an hour to the beach.
Belli Park features an abundance of greenery, but the underbelly of its beautiful landscape is the prevalence of various pests that can cause significant destruction to assets and properties if homeowners become neglectful.
Potential Risks for Pest Infestation
Most ant species love warmer climate, hence the reason why they are common in Sunshine Coast suburbs like Belli Park. One of the problems about ants is that the ones you see inside your house are not all of them. Their nest can be located far away and are often difficult to find.
Ants can be annoying because they spoil food and make your house look dirty and unhygienic. Once they gain entry, they will pop back again and again. Ants are usually found in the kitchen, the area where there is sure to be food. They can also be found where you store your pet foods and bowls and in your outdoor entertainment space.
These pests will find food regardless of where it is, so make sure food is kept in air tight containers. Always keep surfaces free of food scraps and clean spills off the floors.
Rodent Control
The Sunshine Coast’s warm climate, abundance of sunshine and regular rainfall are ideal environment for rats and mice. In the home, mice are more common than rats. They can be crawling across your roof void or inside the walls of your home. They can easily squeeze through tiny gaps, thanks to their tiny and flexible bodies.
Rats and mice are always searching for food, and will also chew through wood and cardboard. They carry diseases and contaminate food. It is not easy to eliminate rats and mice, especially if they have become a group. If you are dealing with a rodent problem, call a licensed pest control professional.
Termite Control in Belli Park
Belli Park is a beautiful rural town, but it also deals with the constant threat of termites. These pests invade homes by travelling from their nest to the wooden parts of your house. Cracks or breaks around pipes are often the entry point for termites.
Termites can also get into homes through wooden structures like decks and porches that are in direct contact with the ground; stacks of firewood that lean against the house; damp soil near foundations due to leaking faucets or gutters; and shrubs and tree branches that are close to the house.
Regular termite inspections are a must in places where termite activity is rampant. Homeowners should also make sure there are termite barriers in place and they are up to date. At the first sign of termite infestation, call a licensed pest control specialist to handle the problem.

Cockroach Control in Belli Park
Cockroaches are persistent and will not go away easily. Because of their flat bodies, they can get into anywhere they want to including furniture, wall cracks, boxes, sewers, drains, etc. These critters carry bacteria that can cause diseases. The disease-causing bacteria are dropped on surfaces and items that cockroaches crawled on.
Cockroach removal is important in that it will keep you and your family safe from diseases, especially young children and the elderly. These pests are likely hiding inside cupboards, cabinets and other areas where they can easily gain access. To get rid of cockroaches, household products are not enough. Hire the services of qualified pest control technicians.
Spider Control
Spiders can be a nuisance but they don’t bite unless they feel threatened. However, it is best to keep them away from your house. Spiders are beneficial to the ecosystem, but only when they remain outdoors where they belong.
There are people who have a genuine fear of spiders. With kids, their intrinsic curiosity will make them play with spiders. This is not safe as there are species of venomous spiders. You can remove spiders and their webs but the problem will keep coming back unless the root of the problem is identified. The task of spider removal and control is best done by experts from a licensed pest control company.
Silverfish Control in Belli Park
Silverfish appear silver or grey in colour. They are nocturnal and though they don’t pose any known health risk to humans, they are a nuisance and highly destructive. They destroy items such as wallpaper, boxes, paper, books and anything with starch in it.
It is difficult to eliminate silverfish because they are only active at night and they must be exterminated right away if you spot them in your house.

TERMITE INFESTATION IN BELLI PARK QLD
Belli Park Termite Hazard Level
High – Very High Risk
According to the Interim Termite Hazard Map by CSIRO, the Sunshine Coast area, where Belli Park is located, is in the high-risk category for termite infestation.
Because Belli Park 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 Belli Park.
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.
