Pest-Ex specialises in the detection and treatment of all types of pests found in Australian homes and businesses. From common household insects like cockroaches and ants to more serious infestations involving termites or rodents, our licensed technicians are trained to manage every type of pest with precision. Explore our full range of pest control services below, sorted by pest type.

What Types of Pests Do We Treat?

Pest-Ex treats all types of household pests, including crawling insects, flying insects, rodents, and wood-damaging pests. Whether you’re dealing with ants in your kitchen, cockroaches in the bathroom, or termites in your subfloor, we have a solution tailored to your home or business.

Our licensed pest controllers are trained to manage all types of pests, no matter how big or small the infestation. From common household bugs in Australia like silverfish and spiders, to more serious types of insect pests like wasps, fleas, and bed bugs — we’ve seen and treated it all.

Below, you’ll find a complete list of the pest names, examples of pests, and services we offer. This includes both general nuisance pests and more aggressive species that require ongoing treatment.

Ants

Ants are one of the most common types of household pests in Australia. At Pest-Ex, we offer effective ant control services on the Gold Coast and beyond. We don’t just remove visible ants — we target the entire nest to prevent future infestations. If you’re dealing with this persistent household pest, call us today for an obligation-free quote.

 

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small, invasive pests commonly found in beds, mattresses, and furniture. As one of the most troubling types of pest in homes, they can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and sleepless nights. Pest-Ex offers thorough inspection and safe bed bug removal to protect your family’s health.

 

Bees

While bees are beneficial to the environment, they can become a threat when nesting near homes. As an example of flying pests, bees require professional control methods that are both safe and humane. Pest-Ex provides eco-friendly bee removal services to ensure safety for both your family and the bees.

 

Biting Insects

Biting insects like fleas, mosquitoes, and midges are types of insect pests that can quickly make your home uncomfortable. These pests often lead to skin issues and allergic reactions. Our pest control experts can identify the pest type and apply targeted treatments to break their breeding cycle and stop infestations.

 

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are among the most resilient and dirty examples of pests in the home. Known for spreading bacteria and contaminating food, they are a major health hazard. Pest-Ex offers expert cockroach control solutions that eliminate the infestation at its source and prevent future outbreaks.

 

Fleas

Fleas are tiny, jumping pests that often affect both pets and people. As one of the more irritating types of household pests, they multiply rapidly and are hard to eliminate without professional help. Pest-Ex provides reliable flea control treatments to stop infestations before they spread.

 

Flies

Flies may seem harmless, but they are one of the most common types of pests that carry disease and contaminate surfaces. Pest-Ex provides comprehensive fly control solutions designed to eliminate infestations and prevent reoccurrence — perfect for homes and businesses alike.

 

Mice

Mice are a well-known example of pests in the home. They chew through wires, food packaging, and furniture, while also spreading harmful bacteria. Pest-Ex uses modern baiting systems and traps to control mice populations safely and effectively.

 

Midges

Midges are flying pests similar to mosquitoes and are especially active during humid seasons. These tiny pests can swarm in large numbers and disrupt outdoor living. Pest-Ex provides treatment solutions for midges, one of the lesser-known but frustrating types of pest in Australian homes.

 

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are among the most dangerous household pests due to the serious diseases they carry. As biting insects, they are a common problem across Queensland. Pest-Ex offers mosquito control treatments that reduce breeding sites and repel adult mosquitoes from your property.

 

Rats

Rats are larger household pests that cause structural damage, contaminate food, and spread serious diseases. Pest-Ex provides full-service rat control, from inspection to elimination, using safe and effective methods tailored to your home or business.

 

Silverfish

Silverfish are destructive insects that feed on paper, clothing, and wallpaper glue. As an example of crawling insect pests, they thrive in dark, damp areas. Pest-Ex offers silverfish control solutions that eliminate these pests and help prevent future infestations.

 

Spiders

Spiders are common household pests in Australia, and some species can be dangerous. Pest-Ex offers targeted spider treatments to reduce spider populations and keep your property safe. We use safe, fast-acting fumigation methods suited for both homes and businesses.

 

Termites

Termites are one of the most damaging types of pests found in Australian homes. Pest-Ex offers comprehensive termite inspections, pre-purchase inspections, baiting systems, and full termite treatments using trusted products like Termidor. Protect your property from these wood-destroying insects with our expert help.

 

Wasps

Wasps are aggressive pests that often build nests near homes, making outdoor areas unsafe. As a dangerous example of flying insect pests, they require professional removal. Pest-Ex directly treats wasp nests to prevent stings and ensure your property is safe.

These are just some of the types of household pests Pest-Ex can help with. If you’re unsure about the kind of pest you’re dealing with, or need help identifying the problem, call us today for fast and expert assistance. We’ll inspect, identify, and treat the issue before it gets worse.

FAQs

Different kinds of pests include insect pests (like ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and termites), rodents (such as rats and mice), flying insects (like flies, mosquitoes, and wasps), and biting insects (such as fleas and bed bugs). Each pest type poses unique risks to your home or business and requires targeted pest control methods.

The most common household pest in Australia is the ant. Ants are small, persistent, and drawn to food sources. Other frequent pests in homes include cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, and termites, all of which can be found across various climates and property types.

You can identify pests by their appearance, behaviour, and the damage they cause. For example, termites resemble tiny white ants and damage wood, while cockroaches are dark and hide in damp areas. Professional pest inspections can help you accurately identify all types of household pests and recommend treatment.

Termites are among the hardest household pests to eliminate due to their ability to stay hidden and cause structural damage silently. Bed bugs and cockroaches also rank high on the list because of their rapid reproduction and resistance to many DIY treatments.

This company actually investigates the problem instead of just spraying your place and leaving. Very HIGH knowledge and experience in what they...read more do. They took the time to investigate the cause, the source of the problem and elimnated it completely which included going through every cupboard, cracks hiding spots the lot. We had a cochroach problem in our apartment for 3 months and we had 4 different companies come out and NONE of them investigated they only sprayed. After we called PestEx, Mr. Phillips was very knowledgeable and experienced eliminating our problem entirely. We also use PestEx in our shop and both Mr Phillips and Marty are EXCELLENT in resolving and maintaining pest problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEST EX. BEST I'VE SEEN IN QUEENSLAND.
