WHAT RICHARD TREATS
Common Gold Coast pests
Termite control is the specialty, but the same rigour goes into every pest on this list. Each treatment is chosen for the pest, the season and the way your place is built.
Termite control
Baiting systems that attract the colony and kill it — effective on the full range of termites found on the Gold Coast.
Ant control
Ants are social, so where one goes the rest follow. Internal and external treatment breaks the trail for good.
Cockroach control
Cockroaches carry viruses and parasite eggs and eat what you eat. German cockroaches need a targeted program.
Rodent control
Rats spread disease and mice gnaw electrical wiring, which starts house fires. Both need controlling properly.
Flea control
Pet still scratching after treatment? The fleas are in the environment. The cycle has to be broken, not just the pet.
Spider control
Webbing spiders through the eaves, ground dwellers by the doors. There is a treatment for both.
Bees & wasps
Nests inside a wall cause real damage. Do not spray what you can see outside the wall — call instead.
Bed bugs
Small parasitic insects that feed on blood by piercing the skin. Treatment is thorough and usually needs a follow-up.
Timber beetles
Beetles attack seasoned timber and cause structural damage. Prevention costs a fraction of the repair.

TERMITE TREATMENT
Trelona® ATBS, backed by Termidor®
After nearly two decades in the industry Richard settled on BASF’s Trelona® Advanced Termite Baiting System — it controls the full range of termites found on the Gold Coast and needs less frequent inspection intervals, which makes it cheaper to run.
The system also pairs with Termidor® Residual Termiticide and Termidor® HE — names that have been trusted in Australian pest control since 2002. Baits attract the colony and kill it; the soil treatment stops the next one getting in.

IS YOUR HOME AT RISK?
Worse than fire, flood and storms combined
Termites cost Australians about $4 billion a year, averaging $10,000 a home — and your building insurance doesn’t cover a cent of it.

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![]()

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Pest control questions, answered
The things homeowners, agents and body corporates ask most.
What should I do before you arrive?
Clear skirting areas, move pet bowls and toys, cover aquariums and tidy benches. Outside, trim vegetation touching walls and move items away from the house edge if you can.
How long does a treatment take?
Most standard homes take 60–90 minutes. Larger homes or complex infestations take longer, and Richard will tell you that upfront.
How long does it last?
General pest treatments typically last 6–12 months depending on pest pressure, weather and housekeeping. Targeted treatments — German cockroaches, bed bugs — may need follow-ups.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Warranties vary by pest and service type, and your coverage and any conditions are documented on the invoice and report.
Can you treat termites?
That is the specialty. Full termite inspections, spot treatments and long-term protection using Trelona® ATBS baiting or soil treatments, chosen for your property and its risk.
It rained — will the treatment still work?
Light rain is usually fine once the product has dried. Heavy rain during or just after an external application may mean a reschedule or a touch-up. Ask and Richard will advise.
Will you treat inside and outside?
Yes. A standard service targets exterior walls, weep holes, eaves and gardens, plus internal hotspots like kitchens, bathrooms and roof voids as needed.
Do you service strata and rentals?
Yes. Richard works with property managers and body corporates and can provide entry notices, photographs and compliance documentation.
Do you handle commercial sites?
Cafés, warehouses, offices and more. Commercial programs include site maps, baiting schedules and logbooks for audits.
How much does it cost?
It depends on pest type, property size and access. You get a clear fixed quote before the work starts — no surprises.
How soon can you come out?
Priority slots are kept for urgent problems: wasps, rodents, active termites. Call and Richard will aim to fit you in fast.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed in QLD (PMTO 14939) and NSW (5072904), QBCC 15044661, and fully insured. Details on request.
What can I do to prevent pests between visits?
Seal gaps, fit weep-hole covers where appropriate, keep bins closed, fix leaks, store pet food securely and trim plants away from walls.
