Edens Landing is one of those suburbs that has so much going for it—green spaces, leafy streets, and that relaxed Logan lifestyle. But while it’s a great place for families, it’s just as attractive to pests. The warm, humid weather, plenty of older timber homes, and summer storms all create ideal conditions for ants, cockroaches, termites, and more.
The local climate plays a huge role too — Edens Landing stays warm and humid for most of the year (see BOM climate data here), which keeps pests active long after summer ends.
We spend a lot of time in Edens Landing helping homeowners keep pests under control, so here’s a closer look at what’s common in the area, why they show up, and how you can get the most out of your pest spray.
Common Pests in the Area
- Ants – From black ants in the kitchen to coastal browns digging up garden beds, they’re everywhere. Once one ant finds food, it leaves a chemical trail for the rest, which is why you rarely see just one.
- Cockroaches – German cockroaches thrive inside warm, damp places like dishwashers and fridges, while the larger Aussie and American varieties usually sneak in from drains or gardens. Even spotless homes can have them.
- Termites – The big one in Edens Landing. With plenty of timber fences, subfloors, and retaining walls, the area is perfect for termites. They work quietly, often causing damage long before you spot them.
- Spiders – Redbacks love garages and play equipment, while orb-weavers build those giant overnight webs in gardens.
- Rodents and possums – Warm, dark roof voids are basically five-star hotels for them.

Where They Hide
- Ants: kitchens, bathrooms, and garden beds.
- Cockroaches: drains, behind fridges, and dishwashers.
- Termites: fences, mulch, and hidden timbers under the house.
- Spiders: corners of sheds, garages, and outdoor furniture.
- Rodents: roof voids, sheds, and wall cavities.
Helping Your Pest Spray Last Longer
A professional treatment does most of the work, but you can help keep pests away by:
- Cleaning up crumbs and spills.
- Sealing food and keeping bins closed.
- Fixing leaks and damp spots around the house.
- Keeping gardens trimmed back from walls and fences.
- Following your technician’s advice—especially about leaving treated areas undisturbed.
The Bottom Line
Edens Landing is a fantastic place to live, but pests will always try to move in too. With regular pest treatments and a few simple preventative steps, you can keep your home protected and pest-free—leaving you to enjoy the lifestyle the suburb is known for.
