Pest control Blacktown

Older fibro or brick home with termite worries?

Blacktown is a major centre in Western Sydney, with a busy station, a shopping centre and a wide spread of suburbs in the City of Blacktown.

Homes range from older brick and fibro houses to newer estates and apartment blocks near the town centre.

What we treat in Blacktown

In a fibro home, termites can eat through the timber frame and floor without showing on the outside. We inspect the subfloor, roof space and timber around the house, and explain the treatment options before any work starts. Older homes also get rats in the roof and cockroaches behind the kitchen cupboards.

In the unit blocks around the station, German cockroaches travel from flat to flat through shared walls and pipes. Possums nest in roofs near mature trees and parks, and we fit one-way doors so they leave, then seal the roof behind them.

As well as general pest work, we inspect Blacktown homes for termites and bird-proof roofs and balconies.

Signs to watch for in Blacktown

Housing Commission estates were built in nearby Seven Hills and Lalor Park from 1945, with Lalor Park developed in the 1950s, including fibro homes. Homes of that era were usually built with timber floors and frames.

Look for mud tubes on piers and sagging floors. Winter is the driest season here, and rodents move indoors as it cools. If you have mature trees near the house, you'll want the roof line checked for possum entry points too.

If your home has fibro or weatherboard walls, you can check along the base after rain for mud tubes. You'll catch termites sooner that way.

Seal gaps under doors and around pipes in autumn, so rodents have fewer ways in once the cold arrives.

How a visit works in Blacktown

We check the roof void and subfloor, and note any timber touching soil. For apartments and units, we check the kitchen, bathroom and shared areas.

If you have a granny flat or shed out the back, you can include it in the same visit.

What affects the price in Blacktown

Older homes with large subfloors take longer to inspect, so you'll want to mention the size of your house when you call. Our general pest treatment page explains what's included.
