Spring Pests in Queensland: What to Watch Out For and What You Can Do

Spring in Queensland is a welcome change — warmer weather, blooming gardens, and more time outdoors. Unfortunately, it’s also the season when pests come out in full force. The rise in humidity and temperature creates the perfect breeding conditions for insects and rodents, making spring the peak time for infestations in homes and businesses.

At Dunrite Pest Control, we’ve been protecting families across Logan, Brisbane, and the Coast for over 27 years, so we know exactly which pests to expect and how to handle them. Here’s what you need to know this spring:

Common Spring Pests in Queensland

1. Ants
Warmer months trigger ant colonies to expand and forage for food. They often invade kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor entertainment areas.

2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches thrive in humidity. In spring, their numbers increase rapidly, and they’ll seek out food scraps and damp hiding spots.

3. Spiders
Many spiders, including dangerous redbacks, become more active in spring as they look for mates and food sources.

4. Termites
Spring is termite swarming season. Winged termites (alates) leave the nest to start new colonies, which can put your property at serious risk.

5. Rodents
Warmer weather doesn’t slow rodents down — in fact, they can become more active as food becomes abundant. They’ll often nest in roofs, sheds, and gardens.

What You Can Do to Minimise Pest Problems

  • Seal Entry Points: Check for cracks, gaps, and broken seals around windows and doors where pests can sneak in.

  • Keep It Clean: Store food in sealed containers, wipe down benches, and remove rubbish regularly.

  • Manage Moisture: Fix leaking taps, clear gutters, and reduce standing water that attracts pests.

  • Declutter Outdoors: Trim back bushes and trees, and move woodpiles or debris away from your home.

  • Stay Vigilant: Look for early signs like droppings, mud tubes, or unusual insect activity before it becomes a bigger problem.

Why Professional Pest Control Matters

DIY sprays may help with surface pests, but they won’t solve the root of the problem. A professional treatment not only eliminates existing pests but also protects your property for months ahead. With Dunrite Pest Control, you’ll get experienced, certified technicians who use safe and effective solutions tailored to your home or business.
