Got Bed Bugs? We have you Covered!
Over the last couple of years the number of bed bug cases we have dealt with has sky rocketed from one or two a fortnight to four or five a week! Bed bugs are booming all over Brisbane at Results Services we're always looking at ways we can offer a better service and better results to our customers. Bed Bugs are parasitic insects that live on blood of hosts (usually humans) and get their name from their preferred habitat, our beds but in actual fact bed bugs are known to infe

How to prevent a flea problem in your home
If you've ever had pets you know fleas are a constant threat to your home but instead of living in fear of the itchy bites here are some helpful hints on how to prevent a flea problem in your home. Fleas are parasites that feed on the blood of you and your pet. They are best known for the outbreak of the the Bubonic Plague most notably in the late middle ages (1340-1400) in Europe.

Get Rid of Pesky Flies this Summer!
Flies and summer go hand in hand in Brisbane and most of us can cope with the heat by relaxing in a cool spot with a cold drink but everyone hates those flying little companions that seem to follow you everywhere! Known as the great Australian wave, foreigners must think we're a country full of lunatics, flailing around, little do they know we're trying to keep the flies at bay and trying to prevent swarms of flies from ruining a time honored tradition, the Sunday BBQ. Some p

Ants Slow Down The Internet!
Black ants are nothing if not annoying, who doesn't feel that pang of rage every time they spot that familiar string of black ants across the bench in the morning? As much as ants ARE annoying they are actually capable of creating quite a significant amount of damage and chaos...just ask, well...us! Over the last month or so we noticed our NBN speeds slowing until the internet finally just dropped out completely, it threw the office into chaos as it meant no phones, no emails

Did you see the termite swarms on the weekend?
The large storms that rolled through Brisbane and South East Queensland on Saturday afternoon were certainly something to behold from the deafening cracks of thunder to the visual light display and the torrential rain but depending on where you were, it all seemed to pass pretty quickly and innocently. What came after was a fantastic display of nature, it is something happens every year, usually around this time and usually after rain. Some Brisbane locals were privy to the "

Summer is on the way and so are the Termites!
With the recent wet weather and the mercury on the rise, conditions are perfect for subterranean termites as we move into their peak season in South-East Queensland. Whilst termites are active year round, they are particularly active in summer foraging longer and further for food to sustain their ever growing colonies. This wouldn't be so ominous if they weren't so destructive, creating a higher repair bill than tropical storms and fires combined. They cost Australian home ow

I Have a Chemical Barrier, Why Do I Need Annual Warranty Inspections?
This is a question you might be asking if you have recently installed or are looking to install a perimeter soil treatment (aka chemical barrier). A chemical barrier really is the best way to protect your home against termites and since no home insurance covers termite damage or a termite attack it is the only way to cover yourself should a costly termite attack occur. One of the reasons chemical barriers are so good is because they carry a warranty that is backed by our insu

Is that a Bed Bug in our Motel?
Last week one of our technicians was called out to a home in New Farm in Brisbane to treat bed bugs. The customer had found bite marks over his body after sleeping in his bed. Upon looking around his bed, the customer was mortified to discover bed bugs on the headboard. It turns out that the customer does a lot of travelling for work and while staying at 4 and 5 star hotels throughout Australia had managed to pick up bed bugs. As horrified as the customer was, the first job o

Termite Attack in Kedron!
Just last week we were called to to Kedron for one of the worst termite attacks we've seen all year. Our tech had reached the front door when he found the first of many fat mud leads heading into the Kedron Queenslander. Upon inspecting, our technician noted a severe termite infestation throughout the sub floor and internal timbers including the door frames, skirting boards and window frame. The termites had worked their way up from the sub floor through the frame timbers r

Bed Bugs, Brisbane’s Biggest Bother
Alliteration aside, bed bugs truly are a troublesome pest that cause a number of our clients a significant amount of stress. Many people find having bed bugs a harrowing experience but at Results Termite and Pest Services we go that extra mile to make the treatment process as stress free as possible. The thing to remember when you have bed bugs is it’s more of a case of bad luck rather than poor hygiene . The most common way to get bed bugs is to pick them up from infested m

Bed Bugs Sweep New Farm
Late last year we were called to one of the worst bed bugs jobs we have ever seen in the almost 30 years of pest controlling Brisbane homes. Our techs donned the full cotton overalls as they pulled this apartment apart treating every nook and cranny for bed bugs and their eggs. We then found out the bed bugs had been shared to many of the other apartments and we were then asked to treat the other apartments in the complex. It was a mammoth task but our techs are glad to repor

Will Heavy Rain Affect a Termite Barrier?
The recent heavy rainfall and extreme weather has made for a termite paradise. Termites increase their population based on a number of factors including access to moisture and food. After heavy rainfall, moisture lingers in the soil for some time after the rain has ceased and in a flood or major wetting event, logs and scrap timber are moved by flood waters and often left buried in land fill or stacked in a pile adding to the available food source, which can sustain large sub

If it's been a while since your last termite inspection perhaps it's time to consider contacting us to arrange one of our professional technicians to bring your termite inspection up to date.

Why Brisbane homes are seeing Cockroaches than normal
It’s that time of year again, when cockroaches and spiders are on the move and with the recent rain and storms, we can guarantee that you’re going to see them around. Cockroaches and spiders are active year-round, but are particularly active in the summer months. Since cockroaches are cold-blooded, as the temperature increases so does cockroach activity. Spring and summer are the ideal periods to have your general pest control services completed in order to prevent these pest

Termidor HE in Brisbane
Termite season is in full swing and more and more Brisbane home owners are deciding to install chemical barriers around their Brisbane homes to protect against a subterranean termite attack. You may have seen the thousands of flying termites take to the skies this week looking to establish new nests all over Brisbane.

'Tis the Swarming Termite Season
Alate Adjective "Refers to wings or wing like structures. In entomology it usually refers to the winged form of a social insect, especially termites of ants" As you may or may not know it is now flying termite season, hey you, like many Brisbanites may have already noticed these four winged pests clumsily flying around your home. Like a biblical plague, swarming termites are invading our homes as soon as the sun sets. These swarming termites are affectionately known in the pe
