Family owned and operated

Overview

Sippy Downs has grown quickly around the University of the Sunshine Coast, with new estates, townhouses and share houses on land that was bushland not long ago. When habitat is cleared, ants, spiders and rodents move into the nearest homes.

Newer houses often have termite management systems installed at build, but these need to be kept clear and checked. Share houses and student rentals, meanwhile, deal with cockroaches from busy kitchens and frequent tenant changes.

We tailor treatment to how your home is used, whether that is a young family, a group of students or a landlord between tenants.

01

Signs of pests in a newer home

Ant nests in fresh turf and garden beds, spiders around new window frames and cockroaches in the garage are common in homes on recently cleared land.

In share houses, cockroaches around the toaster, microwave and bins are the usual first sign.

02

Why new estates see pest pressure

Land clearing pushes pests out of their natural nests and into the closest structures. New landscaping, mulch and irrigation then give them food and water.

This settles over time, but early treatment stops pests from becoming established inside.

03

How we treat your home

We apply a residual barrier around the slab edge, window and door frames, and gel bait in kitchens and bathrooms. Garden beds and turf get targeted ant treatment.

For rentals, we offer an end-of-lease treatment with a receipt for your bond or property manager.

04

Look after your termite system

Many new Sippy Downs homes rely on a physical or chemical termite barrier. Garden beds, pavers or mulch built over the slab edge can bridge it.

We can check your system is clear and working as part of a termite inspection.

05

Keeping a busy household pest-free

Wipe benches nightly, take bins out regularly and keep mulch at least 75 mm below the slab edge. Avoid overwatering new gardens near the house.

A yearly treatment suits most homes, with end-of-lease visits for rentals.

Safety and property care

Safe treatment for families and share houses

Young kids, pets and busy tenants all share these homes. We use products and placements that fit around everyone.

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.

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

Sippy Downs pest control questions, answered

Do I need pest control when moving out of a rental?

Many leases require it, especially if you had pets. Check your agreement. We provide a receipt for your property manager.

My house is brand new. Why do I have ants?

Land clearing and new landscaping disturb ant colonies nearby. Treatment around the slab and garden usually resolves it.

Does my new home already have termite protection?

Most new homes do. Look for the termite notice in the meter box and keep the barrier area clear.

Can you treat a student share house?

Yes. We treat shared kitchens and bathrooms and give simple tips all housemates can follow.

Is ant treatment safe on new turf?

Yes. It is applied at label rates and safe for turf once watered in.
