Pest Control Indooroopilly

Indooroopilly pest control

Indooroopilly's rain follows its heat. At the Bureau's Archerfield Airport weather station the warmest months are also the wettest, and July is both the coolest month of the year and the driest.

A long summer and a short, dry winter

Summer takes up much of the year. The days are warm from October right through to March, with January the warmest at 30.8°C on average, and the nights stay mild for all of that stretch. The cool part of the year is brief: the days reach their lowest in June and July and are climbing again by August, though the nights hold on to the cold a little longer, July's averaging 8.1°C.

The rain gathers from December to March, and February is the wettest month, at 137 mm. April stands apart from its neighbours, drier than both March and May, before autumn's last falls. From July the months run dry, and the dry holds into September, until October and November bring the rain back ahead of summer.

Autumn leaves the wet, spring walks into it

Spring and autumn are close in warmth, with spring's days a little warmer, but they meet the rain from opposite ends. Autumn begins in the wet of late summer and carries 235 mm across its three months. Spring begins in the dry of winter and gathers 189 mm, its rain arriving late, in October and November.

Pests and weather, from public sources

Termites

New colonies begin when winged termites leave the nest in a colonising flight. The Australian Museum says these flights happen in warm, humid weather, mostly in spring and autumn.

Cockroaches

The Better Health Channel says cockroaches do best where conditions are warm, humid and unhygienic.

Mosquitoes

“Mosquitoes need water to breed, and some mosquitoes can breed in very small amounts of water.”

NSW Health

Ticks

Ticks can be found in any month. The Australian Government’s health advice puts the usual tick season at July to December, and says it differs from place to place.

Who licenses pest work in Queensland

Queensland Health requires a licence of anyone who does pest control work for payment. Queensland Health

Applying a chemical termite management system needs a Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) licence as well as the government-issued pest control licence. QBCC

Where the work involves termites, Queensland Health says to ask to see the technician’s QBCC licence. Queensland Health
