What drives pest searches in the Top End

Weather, termites and property sales

The build up and the wet bring insects inside. Searches for cockroach, ant and mosquito treatment climb with them. Termites are a constant worry in the Top End. A homeowner who spots mud leads on a wall searches straight away, often in the evening when they get home.

Property sales and rentals drive a steady stream of work too. Buyers want pre purchase termite inspections, property managers want treatments between tenants. New arrivals want their new house checked before they move in. Each of these is a different search and each deserves its own page.
