Pest Control Colac
Service You Can Trust
Geelong Pest Control provide a full range of pest control and termite services in Colac and across the Colac Otway Council area.
Pest Control Services in Colac
Most homeowners in Colac have an annual pest control treatment. This general pest treatment covers the common crawling pests such as spiders, large cockroaches, ants, earwigs and millipedes, and comes with a 6-month warranty.
Being a country area and surrounded by bush, annual termite inspections are essential for homeowners to make sure termites aren’t eating away your house and home!
Homeowners often combine their annual termite inspection and general pest treatment into the same service for added convenience and a discount. Termite treatments aren’t only to get rid of active termites inside the building, they are a wise investment to provide the long-term protection from termites.
For businesses in Colac, Geelong Pest Control can provide regular commercial pest control programs, tailored to your needs.
Key Pests in Colac
Summers in Colac are dry and warm to hot, with the winters cold and wet. Night time temperatures below freezing during winter are common. This type of weather pattern makes summer the key pest season with spiders and ants being the key crawling pests. Flies can also be an issue (of course!) and the nearby water means mosquito numbers can be a problem in summer. European wasps are an occasional, but significant safety concern. As an agricultural area, rodents can be a problem year round, although often the problem increases in winter when they come inside looking for warmth and food.
Termite Inspections and Termite Treatments
Although termites prefer lots of moisture, they still represent a threat to buildings in Colac, especially if there are leaks around the building, or gardens next to the building are regularly watered. Annual termite inspections are essential to check for termite activity and areas of potential threat, with termite treatments needed for long term protection.
Geelong Pest Control recommend termiticide treatments to the soil around and under homes in Colac, as it provides long-lasting protection and is generally the best value treatment. It creates a “termite barrier”, preventing concealed termite access to your home.
