About Atom Pest Control QLD

We are based at Hope Island and work across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the suburbs in between, in family homes, rentals, shops and food businesses. The work runs from general treatments for spiders, cockroaches and ants through to termite inspections, barriers and treatment, rats and mice, possums, bed bugs and wasp nests.

Every job starts with working out exactly what the pest is and where it is coming from, because that decides the treatment. We talk through the products with you, and what to do about children and pets, before we start. You also know the scope and the price before anything begins. When we leave, you know what was done, what to expect and what to keep.

What we do

Our Pest Control Services in Brisbane

12 of them. They run from treatment for spiders and cockroaches to a full termite inspection before you buy. Each one has its own page with what is included and how the job runs.

General pest control for homes

Inside and perimeter treatments for spiders, cockroaches, ants and silverfish across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with re-entry times explained before we leave.

Termite inspections, roof void to subfloor

Pre-purchase, annual and risk assessment termite inspections, with the roof void, subfloor and garden edges checked and the findings put in writing.

Treatment for live termite activity

Treatment for live termites in walls, frames and stumps, worked out from where the termites are feeding and where they are getting into the house.

Chemical termite barriers around the home

Chemical perimeter barriers for new and existing homes, with the soil around the slab or stumps treated and a plan for the inspections that follow.

Rats and mice in roofs, walls and sheds

Rat and mouse treatments for homes and businesses, with roof and subfloor checks, monitoring stations and the gaps they are getting in through found.

Possums out of the roof

Possum control for roof spaces, with the way in found, the possum out, and mesh fitted so getting back into the ceiling is much harder.

Bed bug inspection and treatment

Discreet bed bug inspections and treatments for bedrooms, furniture and short stay accommodation, with clear preparation steps before we arrive.

German and outdoor cockroach control

Cockroach treatments for kitchens, bathrooms and roof voids, aimed at where German and larger outdoor cockroaches hide and breed, not only where you see them.

Ant trails traced back to the nest

Ant treatments for trails through kitchens, bathrooms and paving, worked out from the species and from where the trail actually leads back to.

Spiders around eaves, windows and sheds

Spider treatments for eaves, window frames, garages and garden sheds, with webs brushed down and the places spiders shelter treated inside and out.

Wasp nests treated and taken down

Wasp nests treated and removed from eaves, pergolas, letterboxes and shrubs, with people and pets kept well back while the work is done.

Pest control for shops, offices and kitchens

Pest control for shops, offices, food businesses and rental properties, with treatments, monitoring and treatment records set around your trading hours.

How it works

From the first call to the follow-up

01

Tell us what you are seeing

You do not need to know the name of the pest. Say what you have seen or heard, where and when, and send a photo if it is safe to take one. Mention any sprays already used.

02

Get the scope and the price

You know what is being treated, how, and what it costs before anything starts. If the house needs preparation, the list comes with it.

03

Treatment and what comes after

We explain re-entry times and what to expect over the coming weeks, leave the treatment details with you, and book any follow-up visit the job needs.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas do you cover?

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and surrounding South East Queensland, from our base at Hope Island. Twelve suburbs have their own pages on the service areas page, but they are a starting point rather than a boundary. If you are unsure whether we reach your suburb, call us and we will check.

Do you answer the phone after hours?

Yes. The phone is answered at any hour, every day, on the same number shown at the top of this page. Call with your location and what you are seeing, and we will talk you through what to do next.

Do you work on businesses as well as homes?

Yes. We work in family homes, rentals and apartments, and in shops, offices, food businesses and commercial properties. Commercial visits are set around trading hours, and the treatment details are recorded after each visit.

Can you quote over the phone?

We can often give guidance from a clear description and a few photos. Termite work and more complex problems usually need someone on site before an accurate treatment price is possible, because what is in the roof, the walls or the subfloor decides the scope.

Why do pest control quotes vary so much?

The pest, how established it is, the size of the property, access, the treatment method and any follow-up visits all change the scope and the price. When you compare quotes, compare the areas treated, the method, the preparation and the follow-up that is included. A lower total can simply mean a narrower job.

What details should I give you when I call?

Tell us where and when you saw the pest or the sign of it, and take a clear photo if it is safe to do so. Mention any spray or bait already used, and tell us about children, pets and anyone with allergies in the house. All of that helps us prepare before we arrive.

Should I disturb termites if I find them?

No. Leave the mud leads and damaged timber exactly as they are, do not spray the area, and call us to arrange an inspection. Termites that are disturbed often move away and go quiet, which makes the activity harder to assess and treat.

Can I spray a wasp nest before you arrive?

Please do not approach or disturb an active nest. Keep people and pets away from it and call us for advice that suits where the nest is and how big it has grown.

What should I do after a bite or a bad sting?

Get medical help first, and call for urgent help straight away if someone has trouble breathing or a severe reaction. Dealing with the pest comes after everyone is safe.

What do I need to know about children and pets?

The preparation and re-entry instructions matter, so we go through them with you before we start. Tell us about every animal in the house, including fish and birds, and we will explain what to move, cover or keep away before we start.

What should I keep after a treatment?

Keep the invoice, the treatment details, any safety directions and our recommendations, along with any termite paperwork the job produced. If anything on them is unclear, ask and we will explain it.

Will one treatment keep pests away for good?

No treatment removes every future risk. Long-term protection comes from the right treatment, regular checks and practical changes around the property, such as fixing leaks, clearing garden beds from the walls and sealing the gaps pests use.

Does a clean home still need pest control?

Often, yes. Cleaning removes food, but pests still come in looking for water and shelter. Entry points, moisture and termite risk have nothing to do with how clean the kitchen is.

How often should I have a termite inspection?

It depends on the property and its risk factors, such as its age, construction, garden and history. After an inspection we can recommend a schedule that suits that house rather than a one-size answer.

Will supermarket spray get rid of a nest?

It may kill the insects you can see without reaching the nest or colony they came from. The right response depends on the species and where it is living, which is why identification comes first.
