Pest control Ashfield

Cockroaches spreading through the block?

Ashfield sits between Parramatta Road and the Hume Highway corridor, with a busy shopping strip along Liverpool Road and Ashfield Mall near the station. The housing mix includes Federation homes, interwar houses and walk-up unit blocks, many of them decades old.

Ashfield Park and Pratten Park give the suburb green space in the middle. That's lovely for residents, and it also means more spiders around eaves and garden beds for the homes nearby.

What we treat in Ashfield

German cockroaches move between flats in Ashfield's walk-up blocks, so treating one unit on its own often has a short shelf life. We can quote a whole block for the owners corporation, with common areas and individual units listed separately.

In older houses, rats get into the roof through gaps in the eaves and tiles. Houses with original timber subfloors are also a common place for us to find termite damage.

We also inspect Ashfield homes for termites and fit bird proofing to balconies, awnings and roofs.

Signs to watch for in Ashfield homes

Ashfield's housing is a mix of post-war low-rise flats and Federation-era houses, with some grand Victorian homes from the late 1800s. In the flats, cockroaches gather around the fridge and under the sink.

In the older houses, droppings in the roof space and gnawed wiring are the signs of rats. Mud tubes on the brick piers under the floor point to termites.

If you're in a walk-up, you can ask your strata manager whether the whole block can be treated together. You'll usually get a longer break from cockroaches that way.

In an older house, keep your roof space tidy so you can see droppings early, and tell us if you hear movement at night.

How a visit works in an Ashfield block

In a unit block, we start with the flat you're in, then check the bin room, garages and stairwells if the owners corporation has asked us to. That shows where the cockroaches are coming from.

In a house, we check the roof space and the gaps around the eaves where rats get in.

What affects the price in Ashfield

Treating one flat costs less than treating a whole block, though a whole block usually gives the longer-lasting result. For older houses, the size of the roof space and subfloor matters, and so does whether a termite inspection finds activity.

Rat work depends on how many entry points need attention.

Why Ashfield locals call us

Owners corporations and residents get one point of contact, because the owner quotes, treats and follows up. If the block needs common areas and units listed separately, you'll get the quote that way.
