For most South East Queensland homes, pest control every 6–12 months provides effective, year-round protection. Queensland's warm, humid climate creates ideal breeding conditions for cockroaches, ants, spiders and rodents — meaning infestations can establish faster than in cooler states.
Homes that have experienced a recent infestation, or where pests are seen regularly despite previous treatments, may benefit from a 6-monthly schedule. Properties that have been pest-free for several years and are well-sealed can often manage with an annual treatment.
Rental properties have specific requirements under Queensland tenancy law: landlords are responsible for ensuring properties are pest-free at the start of each tenancy, and many property managers schedule annual treatments as standard. The 99 People provide a 12-month pest-free warranty with every treatment — so if pests return within the warranty period, we'll retreat the property at no extra charge.
