Pest control Camden

Pests moving in after the floods?

Camden is one of the oldest towns in the Macarthur region, on the Nepean River, with a historic town centre on Argyle Street. Some of its heritage buildings date back to the mid-1800s.

Older homes sit close to the centre, while newer estates and remaining farmland surround the town. With heritage buildings, we take care with original timber and fittings, and we'll talk you through the plan first.

What we treat in Camden

Older timber homes and heritage buildings are a common place to find termites, especially near the river and gardens. We inspect subfloors, roof spaces and verandahs, and possums often turn up in roofs close to mature trees.

Farmland around Camden shelters mice and rats, especially after harvest or when land is cleared for housing. When food runs short, they move into homes, sheds and garages. Pigeons roost on older buildings in the town centre, and we choose bird proofing fixings that suit the building.

As well as general pest work, we inspect Camden homes for termites and bird-proof heritage buildings, shops and roofs.

Signs to watch for in Camden

Camden sits on the Nepean River, and the first town lots were sold in 1840. In 2022, the town was flooded four times, with the July flood reaching Argyle Street businesses and the town centre.

After floods, damp subfloors and wet timber attract termites. Rats and mice also move to higher ground, so look for droppings in sheds and roof spaces.

If your property flooded, you'll want your subfloor and timber checked once things have dried out. You can also clear away any wet debris that's left behind.

On a rural block, you can keep your feed sealed and your sheds tidy, so you aren't giving rats a reason to stay once the water goes down.

How a visit works in Camden

In an older home, we check the subfloor and verandah timber, taking care with heritage finishes and original fittings. On a rural property, we include the sheds and stables. If your home is heritage-listed, tell us when you book.

What affects the price in Camden

Older homes and properties with outbuildings take more time, and so do subfloors with tight access. Our termite inspection page explains what an inspection covers.
