Pest control Burwood

Cockroaches in the unit or termites in the old house?

Burwood is a busy centre built around Burwood Road, Westfield Burwood and a major railway station. High-rise apartments cluster near the station, while the surrounding streets keep many Federation and interwar houses with established gardens.

Apartments and older houses need different approaches. In a tower, pests move between units through shared service ducts. In a Federation home, the risk sits in the roof space, the subfloor and the timber.

What we treat in Burwood

German cockroaches are the most common call from Burwood's restaurants and apartment blocks. For food businesses, we use gel baits and targeted treatments around kitchens and storerooms, and we can work before opening or after close.

Rats follow food waste in the lanes behind Burwood Road, and pigeons nest on balconies and air conditioning units. If you're in a strata building, we can send a quote and photos to help get balcony netting approved.

As well as general pest work, we check Burwood's older homes for termites and bird-proof apartment balconies and shopfronts.

Signs to watch for around Burwood

In the apartment towers, German cockroaches tend to show up first around the dishwasher, the fridge motor and the gaps where pipes enter the wall. Seeing one in daylight usually means many more behind the cupboards.

In the Federation homes, look for soft or blistered paint on skirting boards and window frames, and doors that suddenly stick. Those can be early signs of termites working in the timber.

If you live in a unit, you can help by wiping down the bench at night and keeping pet food sealed. Cockroaches find crumbs quickly, and your neighbours' habits matter too.

In a Federation house, you'll want to keep garden beds below the weep holes so termites can't sneak past unseen.

How a visit works in Burwood

For a unit, we check the kitchen and any shared service ducts, and we'll tell you if the problem is likely coming from next door. For a house, we work through the roof space and the garden edges.

Either way, you get a plain explanation and a price before anything is treated.

What affects the price in Burwood

A single unit is a smaller job than a whole floor or building, and an older house with a big roof space takes longer than a new townhouse. Balcony work depends on the height and size of the opening, and our bird netting page explains the options.

For restaurants near Burwood Road, the number of kitchens and storerooms counts.

Book an inspection in Burwood and you'll have the price in writing before any treatment.

Why Burwood locals call us

The owner answers the phone and does the job, so the person who quotes your apartment or house is the one who turns up. If strata needs photos and a written quote, you'll get them from the same person.
