What to Know About Pests in Toowoomba

Toowoomba's Darling Downs Crest location and surrounding native forest sustains active Coptotermes and Nasutitermes termite populations. Toowoomba's heritage homes, with older subfloor and roof-space timber framing, are particularly susceptible to termite damage. Toowoomba's elevated position creates strong wind-dispersal of termite alates (swarmers) during swarming season (spring and early summer). Toowoomba's rural surrounds also mean rodent (rat and mouse) pressure from agricultural areas can be significant in outer Toowoomba residential zones. Queensland DAF administers pest management licensing for Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
