Pest control in Gracemere
Gracemere is a growing town south-west of Rockhampton, with newer estates and rural blocks. For a new home, keep the paperwork for the termite management system installed during construction and check the notice in the meter box. On rural blocks, sheds, fences and stored feed can attract rodents.
Termites
Rockhampton's hot, humid summers and wet season from December to March suit termites, and Queensland also has drywood termites that live inside timber. Have the home inspected regularly and check for mud tubes, hollow timber and damp areas. Read the Rockhampton termite guide and what to expect from an inspection.
Licensing
In Queensland, pest management technicians need a pest management licence from Queensland Health under the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019. The licence lists what the holder is authorised to do, such as urban pests or timber pests. Chemical termite work also needs a Termite Management—Chemical licence from the QBCC. See how to check a licence.
