Administer an EpiPen (adrenaline auto-injector) if available and the person has a known allergy. Do not wait to see if symptoms improve before calling 000.

Do not disturb the workings and call a licensed operator within 24 hours. Active termites in Brisbane's year-round subtropical climate cause damage continuously with no slow-down period.

European wasps and large paper wasp nests near high-traffic areas are same-day priority jobs.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"emerg-note\">European wasp nests in wall cavities require professional dust injection and cannot be treated with consumer products. Do not attempt to block the entry hole before professional treatment.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2>Active Termite Discovery<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"emerg emerg-termite\">\n      <div class=\"emerg-hd\"><div class=\"emerg-ic\">&#128030;<\/div><div class=\"emerg-title\">Active termites found: action protocol<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"emerg-steps\">\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">1<\/div>Do not spray, knock, tap, or otherwise disturb any area where termites are visible. Disturbance causes colony scatter to new inaccessible access points.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">2<\/div>Do not move furniture, stored materials, or any items from the affected area before the inspection.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">3<\/div>Take a photograph from a distance without disturbing the workings. Note the location (room, wall, level) for the inspector.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">4<\/div>Call 0406 178 471 for same-day AS 4349.3 inspection. Active termite discovery is treated as urgent. Inspection typically completed within hours of the call.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">5<\/div>Keep children and pets away from the affected area until inspection is complete.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"emerg-note\">Every day of active foraging in structural timber is damage that cannot be undone. A same-day inspection and treatment decision is the correct response. Active termite discovery is never a \"wait and see\" situation.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2>Bed Bugs After Travel<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"emerg emerg-bed\">\n      <div class=\"emerg-hd\"><div class=\"emerg-ic\">&#128716;<\/div><div class=\"emerg-title\">Bed bug discovery: action protocol<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"emerg-steps\">\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">1<\/div>If in a hotel: photograph the evidence, request a room change at the opposite end of the building, and notify hotel management.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">2<\/div>Before returning home: bag all clothing and luggage in sealed plastic bags. Do not bring bags into the bedroom.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">3<\/div>On arriving home: place clothing directly from bags into the washing machine. Wash all items at 60\u00b0C or higher. Dry on high heat for 30 minutes.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">4<\/div>Inspect luggage with a torch (checking all seams and pockets) before bringing inside. High-risk situations: consider professional heat treatment of luggage.<\/div>\n        <div class=\"es\"><div class=\"es-n\">5<\/div>If bed bugs are found at home: call 0406 178 471 for professional heat or chemical treatment. Do not move the infested mattress or furniture to another room before treatment.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"emerg-note\">Bed bugs are not a sign of poor hygiene. They are an equal-opportunity pest found in 5-star hotels as commonly as budget accommodation. The prevention protocol above applies regardless of the establishment's rating.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2>Severe Cockroach Infestation<\/h2>\n    <p>A severe German cockroach infestation (daytime activity, multiple rooms, high density) in a domestic kitchen or commercial food preparation area is a public health issue rather than a routine pest problem. The correct response:<\/p>\n    <p>Seal all food in hard containers immediately. Do not apply retail spray to kitchen areas where food is prepared; spray in food areas without thorough cleaning is a food safety issue and also repels cockroaches from gel bait placements. Call for same-day professional gel bait treatment. For commercial premises with a food safety obligation, document the call and service report as evidence of corrective action in your food safety management system. Full treatment details at the <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-cockroaches-brisbane\/\">cockroach treatment guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n    <h2>Rodents in a Food Preparation Area<\/h2>\n    <p>Rodent activity in a commercial kitchen, cafe, food storage facility, or any premises with a food safety obligation requires same-day action and documentation. The immediate steps: remove and discard any food product that may have been in contact with rodent activity. Clean the affected area with a food-safe sanitiser. Photograph the evidence (droppings, gnaw marks). Call for same-day professional rodent control with a service report. For WHS and food safety compliance, the service report documenting the response action is essential; keep it with your food safety management records.<\/p>\n\n    <h2>Fire Ant Sighting<\/h2>\n    <p>If you believe you have found fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) on your property: do not disturb the nest or attempt any treatment. Call Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23 to report. Fire ants are a notifiable biosecurity pest in Queensland and the national eradication program provides free treatment. Do not attempt DIY treatment; this can interfere with the eradication program's tracking of colony spread. Symptoms of fire ant sting: intense burning sensation, raised white pustule 6-24 hours after sting. If any signs of systemic allergic reaction occur, call 000.<\/p>\n\n    <h2>Preparing for Pest Emergencies Before They Happen<\/h2>\n    <p>Most pest emergencies are less stressful when a household has taken a few preparatory steps beforehand. Three practical actions reduce response time and harm when a pest emergency occurs.<\/p>\n    <h3>Keep the pest control operator number accessible<\/h3>\n    <p>Save 0406 178 471 in your phone contacts and make it accessible to all household members. In a snake or wasp emergency, time spent searching for a contact adds stress to a situation that is already time-sensitive. A saved contact takes 10 seconds to set up and removes that variable entirely.<\/p>\n    <h3>Know the medical emergency numbers<\/h3>\n    <p>000 for any medical emergency including snake bite, anaphylaxis, and severe sting reactions. The Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) provides 24-hour advice on snake bite, spider bite, and chemical exposure. For snake bite specifically: calling 000 is always the correct first step; the Poisons Information Centre is a secondary resource while waiting for paramedics. Anyone with a documented venom allergy should carry an ASCIA-prescribed EpiPen and know how to use it. An EpiPen buys time between sting and paramedic arrival but is not a substitute for calling 000.<\/p>\n    <h3>Annual termite inspection eliminates the termite emergency<\/h3>\n    <p>The termite emergency protocol in this guide exists because homeowners encounter active termites unexpectedly. The annual AS 4349.3 inspection eliminates that surprise: a property with a current inspection report either has no active activity confirmed, or has activity caught at the earliest detectable stage rather than discovered accidentally after months of structural damage. At $280-$380 per year, the annual inspection is the most cost-effective form of termite emergency prevention available. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/blog\/complete-guide-termite-protection-brisbane\/\">complete termite protection guide<\/a> for full inspection and barrier program details.<\/p>\n    <h3>Brief all household members on wasp nest discovery protocol<\/h3>\n    <p>Children are at disproportionate risk from wasp sting emergencies because they are more likely to approach a nest out of curiosity and are smaller bodied, making a multiple-sting event more medically serious by weight. Walk your garden with children in September each year and check eaves, pergola rafters, and garden structures for founding wasp nests before they reach full population. Early detection of small founding nests (August-September) produces a situation manageable with a consumer spray at dusk; the same nest found in January as a large colony is a professional-only job. Prevention through early detection is the most effective wasp nest management strategy for families with young children.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-box\">\n      <div><h3>Same-day emergency pest response: Brisbane and Gold Coast<\/h3><p>0406 178 471.
