Termites Gone
Mick went into the ceiling when every other operator skipped it — and long-term clients keep coming back because of it.
What prompts that loyalty seems to be a combination of thoroughness (he's the only one who looked in the ceiling, one reviewer notes) and honest advice: one customer recalls Mick telling them they could fix a bug problem themselves rather than charging for an unnecessary job. For homeowners with heritage or older timber properties where ongoing inspection matters more than a single treatment, that kind of candour and a maintained inspection schedule are exactly what you want to see.

About Termites Gone
Mick — the sole operator behind Termites Gone — has been running termite inspections, treatments, and general pest control across Townsville and surrounds for around 17 years, and the reviews make clear he's built a genuinely specialist practice rather than a generalist spray-and-go service. He's particularly noted for tackling subterranean termite infestations in difficult situations — including ceiling voids, heritage-listed Queenslanders, and long-established nests — and for setting up ongoing inspection schedules so clients aren't caught out between visits. What separates Mick from the bigger operators is a habit of actually explaining what he found and what he did, including going into ceilings when others apparently skip that step. Several long-term clients mention he keeps a schedule on file and follows up proactively, which suits heritage or older timber homes where termite risk is continuous rather than one-off. He's also comfortable advising homeowners and business premises — Belgian Gardens, West End, and Deeragun all appear in reviews — so his coverage extends well beyond the immediate suburb. For jobs where a customer has previously used a large-name company and felt underserved on price or thoroughness, the reviews consistently flag him as the alternative worth trying.
Best for: ongoing termite monitoring in older or heritage timber homes, homeowners switching from big-name operators looking for better value and thoroughness, residential and small commercial properties requiring both termite and general pest treatment.

What areas does Termites Gone service?+
Mick is based in Deeragun but reviews mention jobs across a wide range of Townsville suburbs including Belgian Gardens, West End, and surrounding areas. Reviews don't specify an exact service radius, so it's worth contacting him directly if you're outside the immediate Townsville region. Given he's a sole trader, confirming availability for your specific area before booking makes sense.
Does Mick provide a warranty on termite treatments?+
Yes — at least one reviewer specifically mentions receiving a warranty on termite eradication work. Another review notes Mick came back to re-spray after a new ant nest appeared, even though it wasn't covered under warranty, suggesting he takes post-treatment issues seriously. It's worth asking him directly about the warranty terms and what's covered before work begins.
What do customers say about Termites Gone's pricing?+
Pricing comes up repeatedly across the 30 reviews we analysed — customers consistently describe Mick as competitively priced, with phrases like 'very reasonable,' 'doesn't charge like a wounded bull,' and 'price for value was excellent.' Several reviewers mention switching from larger pest control companies specifically because of the better value. He also appears to keep costs honest — one customer noted he told them they didn't actually need a pest spray and could handle the issue themselves.
Can Termites Gone handle ongoing inspection schedules, not just one-off jobs?+
Yes — this is one of the things Mick is most consistently praised for. Multiple long-term clients mention using him annually or on a regular basis, and one reviewer notes he keeps a schedule on file so they know when their next inspection or treatment is due. For older timber homes or heritage properties where termite risk is ongoing, this proactive approach is a practical advantage over businesses that only respond reactively.
Does Termites Gone handle commercial properties as well as residential homes?+
Yes — reviews include at least one commercial client (a business in Belgian Gardens) who has used Mick for both business premises and their home. The scope of work described in reviews covers everything from single-room ant problems to well-established subterranean termite infestations across multiple areas of a property. If you have a specific commercial requirement, contact Mick directly to confirm he can accommodate the scale and access requirements of your site.
