What matters for pest control in Cairns

Some Queensland work needs a licence at any value, including plumbing, drainage, gas fitting, chemical termite management, fire protection and mechanical services. Hydraulic services design needs a licence once it passes $1,100.

QBCC advises a licensed pest inspection every year across Queensland, and more often in high hazard areas, because termites are a problem statewide and are particularly aggressive in North Queensland. New building work must include a termite management system under the Building Code.

Termite management systems for new Queensland building work are designed and installed to AS 3660.1, which is referenced by both volumes of the National Construction Code. Ask which system was used and where the durable notice is before you buy or extend.

QBCC says termites are particularly aggressive in North Queensland, so Cairns homes need a higher standard of protection than southern Queensland. Budget for a licensed inspection every year, not every few years.
