Overview

Palmwoods is hinterland country: old timber cottages near the railway line, acreage blocks on the surrounding hills, and macadamia and small crop farms in between. Life here involves sheds, water tanks and open ground, and each of those supports pests.

Rodents are the most common call. They move from paddocks, orchards and feed sheds into roof spaces as soon as the weather cools. Spiders and cockroaches settle into sheds, carports and rarely used rooms, and old timber buildings on stumps are attractive to termites.

We treat the whole property, not just the house, because on acreage the shed is usually where the problem starts.

01

Signs pests have settled on an acreage block

Chewed feed bags, droppings along shed rafters, rats in the roof at night, and heavy webbing through the carport and machinery shed are the classic signs here.

Mud tubes running up stumps or shed posts mean termites and need attention straight away.

02

Why rural blocks need a wider treatment

Pests on acreage have food and shelter all over the property: compost, chook pens, hay, fruit trees and machinery. Treating the house alone leaves the source untouched.

Long grass and stored timber against buildings give rodents and spiders a covered path straight to the walls.

03

How we treat your property

We bait and dust the house, treat the perimeter and subfloor, and extend treatment to sheds, carports and outbuildings.

Locked rodent stations are placed along runways between sheds, fence lines and the house, where rodents actually travel.

04

Termites in old timber buildings

Cottages on stumps, timber sheds and stacked firewood are all at risk. Hinterland soils and higher rainfall make Palmwoods a high-activity area.

Book a yearly timber pest inspection covering the house and any timber outbuildings.

05

Keeping a rural property in check

Store firewood and timber off the ground and away from walls, keep feed in sealed bins, slash long grass near buildings and keep chook pens clean.

Acreage properties usually need treatment every six months, with rodent stations checked more often through autumn and winter.

Safety and property care

Care for livestock, pets and tank water

Rural properties have animals, working dogs, vegetable gardens and rainwater tanks. We plan around all of them before we start.

  • Tank water protectedTreatment is kept clear of roof catchment areas and tank inlets.
  • Livestock and chooksWe avoid pens, feed areas and paddocks, and place baits where animals cannot reach.
  • Working dog safeRodent stations are locked and pegged so dogs cannot move them.
  • Edible gardensNo treatment on vegetable beds or fruit trees.

Licensed, accredited, trusted

Credentials you can verify

Palmwoods property owners can verify our QBCC licence and termite accreditation before we treat the house or any outbuildings.

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.

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

Palmwoods pest control questions, answered

Will treatment contaminate my rainwater tank?

No. We keep products away from the roof catchment and tank inlets, and will tell you if any part of the job needs the downpipe diverted.

Can you treat my shed as well as the house?

Yes. Sheds and outbuildings are usually where rodent and spider problems begin, so we recommend including them.

Is rodent bait safe around my dogs and chooks?

Baits go in locked, pegged stations that animals cannot open. We can also use traps where you prefer no bait at all.

Are termites a big problem in the hinterland?

Yes. Higher rainfall, timber structures and plenty of bush make Palmwoods a high termite activity area. A yearly inspection is strongly recommended.

How often does an acreage property need treatment?

Every six months works best, with extra rodent attention heading into the cooler months.
