The impact of cockroaches and rodents on your commercial property can be enormous. From Southport to Robina, Burleigh to Coolangatta, and across the border into Tweed Heads, Gold Coast businesses deal with a subtropical climate that keeps pests active year-round. By committing to regular pest inspections and a tailored commercial pest control program, you protect your stock, your premises, and your reputation — and keep your staff and customers happy.

If you run a successful business you understand the need for commercial pest control to keep your business thriving.
Due to the subtropical climate of the Gold Coast, pests are inevitable year round, and in warmer months pests like termites, ants and cockroaches are even more active. They are constantly on the move looking for food. Residential and commercial properties are all at risk of a pest infestation. And a major pest infestation could mean your commercial business has to close up until it is resolved and/or repaired.
No one wants to see a rat run across a restaurant floor or find a cockroach in a café bathroom. In the age of Google Reviews, one bad pest sighting can cost a Gold Coast business its reputation for years.
Rats and mice will eat through your food supplies. Even if your premises are spotless, once a rodent makes its way into the food storage area you are guaranteed to see more.
Gold Coast City Council and Tweed Shire Council both have clear guidelines around pest management in food businesses. Failing a health inspection over pest activity can mean fines, bad press, or a forced closure until the issue is resolved.
Termites, rats and mice eat everything and can cause a large amount of structural damage. Rodents will also eat through electrical wires, potentially causing fires.
Pests will enter any type of building or business. We provide commercial pest control solutions to businesses right across the Gold Coast — from Southport and Surfers Paradise down through Burleigh, Robina and Varsity Lakes to Coolangatta and Tweed Heads:
Pests in a commercial kitchen are the last thing you want, whether you’re a customer or an owner. We implement a pest control program that keeps your kitchen, dining area and storerooms free of rodents, cockroaches and other pests — and helps you sail through your next Gold Coast City Council food safety inspection.
Factories and industrial facilities across the Gold Coast, Yatala and northern NSW are no strangers to pests. With goods, pallets and deliveries constantly coming and going, pests can easily find their way in. We put a proactive monitoring and treatment plan in place to protect stock, equipment and staff amenities.
Storage facilities, retail stores and office buildings are all places pests can quickly set up home. Don’t let your business lose customers or stock to a mouse or cockroach infestation. We also work with strata and body corporate managers across the Gold Coast to keep shared commercial buildings pest-free.
Every commercial property is different, and Richard will personalise a pest treatment to suit your needs. As a fully licensed pest inspector (QLD PMTO 14939, NSW 5072904) and qualified in the use of a wide range of pest control products, you can be confident your property will be well looked after by Richard himself — not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

Richard was fantastic. We had another inspector complete a report and give us the all-clear, only to discover severe termite damage halfway through our renovation. Richard came out and carried out an incredibly thorough inspection, identifying issues that had been missed previously and should have been picked up. His knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Richard highly enough, especially for anyone needing a pre-purchase or pre-building inspection. We only wish we had found him sooner!Posted on Google![]()

Richard has been conducting our pest control for the past 5 years since we moved into our house. He completed the initial building and pest in 2021 and installed the termite control system which has been operating perfectly. He responds promptly and always comes out last minute when we need help with the pests as we live on acerage they’re rampant. We haven’t gone with anyone else and don’t need to because we are real happy with Richard and his services.Posted on Google![]()

I couldn't be happier with the service provided. From the initial inspection through to the completion of the job, everything was handled professionally and thoroughly. The clear communication, and genuine care shown throughout the process were outstanding. The work was completed on time, and all findings and recommendations were explained in a way that was easy to understand. Richard has been great to deal with, he takes pride in his work and delivers exactly what he promises. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional operator. Thanks again.Posted on Google![]()

I would not recommend the Gold Coast Pest Inspector services based on my experience during the sale process of my property. His written report identified some limited evidence of historic insect activity however did not confirm or find any live or active insects. However, verbal statements made during the inspection were significantly more severe than the findings contained in the report and created substantial concern for the buyer. He called into question the opinion of other qualified professional inspectors and made suggestions of major treatment costs and serious structural concerns verbally to the buyer - these were not included in his written report. He also suggested he could recommend treatment options although there was no live activity to treat and gave treatment price indications that were completely unrealistic without solid evidence of activity. In my opinion, the verbal communication was not appropriately balanced to the documented findings and unnecessarily impacted the sale process.Posted on Google![]()

Thank you Richard for your prompt attention and care with our tricky issue yesterday. You went above and beyond the call of duty but goes to show why my folks won't use anyone else for pest inspection, advice and treatment. Your many years of experience and excellent service is why my folks (and now myself) trust and recommend you highly. You are polite, reliable, informative and honest ... all at a price that blows the others out of the water. Thank you again for your help and service Richard. Kerry (Elanora)Posted on Google![]()

Richard first carried out the Pest Inspection on my property before purchase in 2018. Since then Richard has carried out regular inspections of the termite protection system at my property and for this I am very grateful. Richard is an absolute professional and is very experienced in his assessment and knowledge in carrying out successful inspections for his clients. Professional, reliable, honest and helpful. I highly recommend Richard at Gold Coast Pest Inspector.Posted on Google![]()
