Go Pest Bendigo provide professional pest control services throughout Central Victoria to homeowners and businesses.
We are fully licensed and insured to provide a full range of pest control and termite services in Woodend, including:
A general pest treatment carried out once a year (in spring) will keep homes free from most of the common pests.
Termites are active year round, so having an annual termite inspection is a must for any homeowner. Rather than having two separate visits, many customers arrange for their annual termite inspection to occur at the same time as their general pest treatment, to save money and time.
Cafes, pubs and other local businesses need to have a solid pest management program in place. Go Pest work with a number of business owners to ensure their premises are kept pest free and that the necessary documentation is up to date.
The chances of suffering from a termite attack is more than the chances of suffering from a fire or flood combined. And with termite damage not covered by standard home insurance, it’s up to homeowners to have a plan to protect their home from termites.
Termite inspections are a must for homeowners in Woodend.
The termite inspection will let you know if termites are present on your property and attacking your home. It will also let you know if there are any conditions around your home or building faults that may make a termite attack more likely.
If you have a termite protection system in place, it will also check to make sure it hasn’t been compromised.
Although annual termite inspections are the minimum action homeowners should take, it is always recommended that homeowners have a termite treatment to protect their home from potential termite attack.
There are two types of termite managements system, either a chemical treatment to the soil or the installation of a termite baiting system.
If you already have termites in your home, we carry out specialist treatment to eradicate the active termites from the building before we install the termite treatment for long term protection.
Go Pest are fully qualified to provide the full range of termite products and so can make the best treatment recommendation for your situation.
If you are building a home or extension, or carrying out renovations you need to consider incorporating termite protection during the build. Indeed building regulations require it! Please give us a call at the planning stage.
Without doubt, termites are the biggest threat to people’s homes. However, several other pests can pose a problem; some just a nuisance but others a health concern.
As the weather starts to warm up in spring, spiders will begin to appear. This is the ideal time for a general pest treatment, or “spider spray” as it’s often known. This treats spiders as well as their webs and hiding places, making the home safer for pets and family members.
European wasps can ruin outdoor spaces during the warmer months. Due to their aggressive behaviour they are best dealt with by professional pest managers, who are skilled at wasp nest removal by identifying the location of the nest and destroying it safely. At Go Pest we use professional products and pride ourselves on our safety protocols. We can also assist with bee swarm removal.
As the nights cool down in autumn, rodents enter buildings looking for somewhere warm to set up camp for the winter. Go Pest offer a number of rodent control solutions including baits, traps and monitoring devices. We know how to eliminate rodents and keep them out for good.
Woodend is a rural village at the heart of the Macedon Ranges about halfway between Melbourne and Bendigo.
Its most iconic landmark is Hanging Rock (Mount Diogenes) a six-million-year-old rock formation formed by an eruption of magma. The impressive pinnacles seen today have been sculpted by ice and wind over millions of years and have long been regarded as sacred by local indigenous people. The site was also made famous by the book and movie Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Despite its rural location Woodend is a modern village with popular hiking and mountain biking trails. It has vibrant cafes and trendy gastro pubs that rival those in the bigger cities. The region is also home to several wineries.
Being in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range means that Woodend sees its fair share of rainy days and snowfall is not uncommon in the winter.
