Zapem Pest Management

Our technicians came across this on a recent job, and it’s a good reminder of how much goes undetected in and under our homes.

A leaking shower can quietly soak the subfloor for a long time and by the time it shows up on the floors inside the damage is already done.

So why do termites love damp timber so much? Moisture softens the wood, which makes it easier for them to get into, and it gives them the damp conditions they like. A leak is basically an invitation.

So if it’s been awhile since anyone had a look under your house, now is a good time to book an inspection. Send me a message and I’ll talk to you through your options.

Hi, I’m Vanessa and I’m the owner of Zap’em Pest Management.

I started Zapem back in 2017 with my family and honestly I never wanted to be just another pest control company.

What I kept seeing was homeowners, landlords and property managers getting caught out with inspections that missed the signs. A treatment with no follow-up or they simply never thought about termites until it was too late. That’s the problem I set out to fix.

We protect properties across the Gold Coast, Northern New South Wales and South Brisbane from family homes to complexes and commercial sites. We are QBCC licensed and we use commercial grade products like Termidor and Trelona.

What makes us different? We actually follow through, we explain what we found, what we treated and why it matters. We stay in touch so nothing is left to chance.

Our 170+5 star Google review says it better than I can. If you own, rent out or manage property on the Gold Coast I’d love to connect. Send me a message any time.

Termites are silent. By the time you notice the damage, they’ve often been working away for months. That’s why our team do regular quarterly inspections of your bait and monitoring stations. It’s not just about checking boxes. It’s about catching activity early when it’s still manageable, before it can damage what matters most. Your home is your number one asset. It’s worth protecting properly. Book a free compliance audit with Vanessa to see how monitoring stations could work for your property 0429 66 99 68

Termites will find a way!
These termites used an electrical cord as a bridge to get inside the home. Proof that termites don’t need timber to get in, they just need a path.

That’s why one-off treatments aren’t always enough. Our Shield & Secure Protection Plan gives you ongoing peace of mind with regular inspections and ongoing support, so nothing sneaks past unnoticed.

The speaker at our meeting this morning was Vanessa Glowaski of Zapem Pest Management.

Vanessa spoke about what they do in the commercial space. Zapem do residential and commercial however today she explained the commercial service offering.

They include:

- Restaurants and cafes - to ensure they are hygienic, safety compliant and ensure protection of equipment

- Allied Health Services - such as dentists, physio, medical centres etc. Pests do carry germs and you want these clinics to be highly hygenic.

- Specialty Food Premises - such as butchers and food preparation - this is a special service that not all pest control companies provide. Once again this is for protention of equipment and to ensure they are hygenic

- Apartment Buildings including heritage buildings - services include vermin & rodent control plus termite protection. The heritage buildings require a special level of service to ensure you are not changing the heritage status when working on those buildings.

Things to consider with a commercial bjuilding :

- is the property hygienic? This is very important.
- occupant and tenant complain if there are pests on the premises
- cockroaches, spiders, ants, rodents LOVE commercial premises

Zapem can work around tenants, landlords and building management to service the building/premises at a time that suits all parties.

If you would like to know more about the services that Zapem offer give Vanessa a call on 0429669968 or email [email protected]

If you would like to attend our meeting next week, please send us a message. We meet at Coastal in Broadbeach from 6.45am til 8am each Thursday.
