Kawana pest control
Pest control for canal-front homes and family properties across Kawana Waters, Buddina and Parrearra. Treatment built for waterside humidity, mosquitoes and the cockroaches that thrive in it.
QBCC licensed 15483371
Family owned and operated
Overview
Kawana Waters is built around canals and the Mooloolah River, and that water shapes the pests you will see. Humid air, damp garden edges and jetties give cockroaches, mosquitoes and midges ideal conditions for most of the year.
Canal-front homes often have boat sheds, pontoons and rock walls where spiders and rodents shelter. Homes near Kawana Shoppingworld and the surf beaches deal more with ants and cockroaches spreading from busy neighbouring areas.
We look at both sides of the property, the street frontage and the water frontage, before deciding where the treatment will do the most good.
At a glance
01
Large cockroaches coming in after dark, spider webs over boat covers and jetty lights, and swarms of midges at dusk are common on waterfront properties.
Rat activity around bins and boat sheds often increases in cooler months.
02
Constant moisture and salt spray break down surface treatments faster. Pests also move between neighbouring waterfront properties along rock walls.
Treatment needs to cover the waterside areas as well as the house itself.
03
We apply gel bait inside and a durable residual barrier around the house, patios and boat shed. Spider treatment covers eaves, jetty lights and outdoor living areas.
Mosquito treatment targets shaded plants and damp corners where adults rest during the day.
04
Waterways need protecting. We use products suitable for use near water and keep a buffer from the canal edge.
We never spray directly onto water or rock walls that drain into the canal.
05
Empty pot plant saucers and boat covers of standing water, keep jetty lights off when not in use and store bins away from the house.
Waterfront homes benefit from treatment every six months, timed before summer.
Safety and property care
Kawana's canals are home to fish, birds and families who swim and fish from their jetties. Our treatment protects the house without harming the water.
Licensed, accredited, trusted
Kawana homeowners can check our QBCC licence and accreditation before any work near the house or the water.

Thanks to Tom, great job, highly recommend.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Yes, when done properly. We use suitable products and keep a clear buffer from the water.
Midge control is limited because they breed in the canal and tidal areas, but treating resting spots and using screens helps a lot.
Yes. Spiders and rodents shelter there, so we include them on request.
Rain floods their outdoor shelters, so they move inside. A strong external barrier helps keep them out.
Every six months is best for waterfront properties.
