Had a absolute ripper today! 🐔
A customer confidently told me they’ll never need to worry about termites because they’ve got chickens in the backyard.
Now look, chickens are absolute legends for keeping garden pests down and they’ll eat up any exposed termite that happens to cross their path... but relying on them to protect your home? Not a great strategy.

Here’s why:
❌ Termites work underground & inside timber: Subterranean termites travel through hidden mud tubes beneath the surface. Chickens only scratch the topsoil—they can't reach the nest or the termites eating inside structural timber.
❌ Swarming season is night shift: Winged termites (alates) fly high to find entry points into roof voids and weep holes, usually at dusk when your hens are already tucked up roosting.
❌ Coop hazards: Timber coops, scrap wood, and damp bedding resting on soil often end up attracting termites closer to your yard in the first place.

By all means, enjoy the fresh eggs and let the chooks scratch around—just don't leave your biggest asset’s termite defence in their hands! 🔨

22 pest control companies in Mackay at the last count.
​But let’s be real: if a business operates in your own backyard and you’ve never even heard their name, there’s usually a reason for it.

​When it comes to chemical treatments and keeping pests out, don't gamble on an unknown quantity. Go with a local expert you know and trust. 🐜❌

⚠️ Protect Your Home: Watch Out for Unlicensed Termite Contractors! ⚠️

Did you know it’s illegal in Queensland to advertise termite treatments without displaying a QBCC licence number?

If an ad, post, or vehicle doesn’t show a licence number, it’s illegal—and there’s a high chance they are unlicensed and uninsured. Don't risk your home or warranty on shortcuts!
Always choose a qualified professional you can trust. 🏠🛡️

🪵 Spoiler alert: Termites did not get the memo that hardwood is off-limits! 🤫🍿

Think solid hardwood makes your home immune to termites? Think again! While tough timbers might slow them down, termites treat hardwood less like a dead end and more like a gourmet challenge—just check out the roof timber damage in these photos! 🏡🐛

Don't let them turn your structural timber into a hidden snack bar.

Yes Queen! 👑💅

Located this massive Coptotermes queen inside a mound out in Kuttabul today. While finding her is a huge win, our work didn't stop there - we followed up with a complete mound injection to ensure the job was done right.

Coptotermes are some of the most aggressive destroyers around, so taking prompt and thorough action is key to keeping local properties safe.
