Overview

Caloundra has some of the oldest housing on the Sunshine Coast. Weatherboard homes near Kings Beach and Moffat Beach, raised houses with open subfloors and 1970s brick units all have gaps that pests have had decades to find.

The Pumicestone Passage and the canal estates of Pelican Waters keep humidity high, which suits cockroaches, silverfish and spiders. Mosquitoes and midges from the passage are also a regular complaint in summer.

Our technicians inspect subfloors, roof spaces and garden edges before treating. We explain what we find in plain terms, which many of our older clients and their families appreciate.

01

Signs of pests in older Caloundra homes

Silverfish damage on stored papers and linen, huntsman spiders in the ceiling cornices and cockroaches in timber cupboards are typical in established houses.

Raised homes with open subfloors often have spider webs and cockroach activity underneath long before it shows inside.

02

Why older homes need a different approach

Timber floors, gaps around old windows and cracked mortar give pests many ways in. A spray on the skirting boards does not reach the voids behind them.

We treat into these spaces directly and point out any repairs that would help keep pests out.

03

How we treat your home

We dust roof voids and wall cavities, place gel bait in kitchens and bathrooms, and apply a residual barrier around the house and subfloor piers.

For canal-front and passage-side homes, we add targeted treatment for mosquitoes around damp garden areas.

04

Termite checks for timber homes

Older timber homes are more vulnerable to termite damage, especially where the original chemical barrier has long expired.

We recommend a yearly timber pest inspection for any Caloundra home built before the 1990s.

05

Keeping pests down year-round

Keep the subfloor dry and clear of stored items, check that downpipes drain away from the house, and seal gaps around old window frames.

A yearly treatment suits most Caloundra homes, with a spring visit for properties near the passage.

Mercy PringleGoogle review
Thank you Team Bruin for expedient and great customer care. Integrity, that is doing what one says they will do at the time they say they will do it is rare these days. Bruin on on the other hand has consistently demonstrated exceptional service in not only attending to the job at or ahead of the time, but also responding to phone and email inquiries quickly. Thank you Cody for your expert service delivery and advice. Thank you Tom for your expedient response. Thank you Dylan for making it all happen. You truly are a great team.

Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly team. They arrived on time and when job was completed, left the area neat, clean and tidy. I was always kept informed on the progress of the task performed and they even informed me about other tasks that needed to be carried out on my home. I am very pleased with Bruin Pest Management and I will most certainly be recommending them to everyone. Thankyou for a job well done.

Awesome professional work completed by Nat as a representative of Bruin Pest Management. Also very polite. I noticed the whole set up with Ute and back canopy neatly stacked all the equipment inside and safe.
Will HartmannVerified customer
Andy completed a pest inspection at our property in Brisbane and his knowledge is second to none. He is very friendly and genuine and provided a great service. At the end of the pest inspection, he showed us through his findings and talked through different pest control methods and some things we could do to help lessen the chance of any termites finding the property attractive.
Lynda WatersVerified customer
Myself and my husband highly recommend Andy and Sarah, this is our 2nd time using their pest control services and we have had no problems with pests returning until we were due our next yearly service. They take extreme pride in their work and are very informative on the types of pests and what to use and not use.
Rory ComptonVerified customer
Excellent service for a pre purchase pest inspection in Brisbane. Communication was fast and professional. The report was comprehensive, received the day of the inspection, and Andy was available to explain plainly any questions I had. I would definitely use Bruin again in future.
Elizabeth KennedyVerified customer
Engaged Bruin to do a pest inspection and they were fantastic. They were available very quickly (next day) and were so easy to deal with. The inspector was professional and very polite. The report was available that day and was easy to understand. Their advice was so helpful, not just for our house purchase, but for dealing with the property into the future.
Claire BowdenVerified customer
My husband and I engaged Bruin to complete our pre-purchase pest inspection. We were extremely happy with the service offered by both the office staff and Andy. All were friendly, professional and thorough. Andy met my husband Wayne onsite and explained things clearly. We had our report later the same day. We highly recommend the Bruin team.

Common questions

Caloundra pest control questions, answered

Can you treat under a raised house?

Yes. Subfloors are part of our standard inspection and treatment for raised homes.

Is the treatment suitable if someone in the house has asthma?

Let us know when you book. We can use low-odour gels and dusts and limit internal spraying.

Do you treat for mosquitoes near the Pumicestone Passage?

Yes. We treat shaded, damp areas where adult mosquitoes rest and advise on removing breeding water.

How do I know if my home still has termite protection?

Check for a termite notice in your meter box or electrical cupboard. If it is missing or old, book an inspection.

Yes. We can take the booking from you and confirm the visit time with the person at the property.
