Pest control Dulwich Hill

Worried about the old timber in your Federation home?

Dulwich Hill is a leafy Inner West suburb with large areas of Federation housing, plus shops along Marrickville Road and New Canterbury Road. The light rail runs through the suburb, and the GreenWay follows the old goods line past parks and bush regeneration sites.

With heritage homes, we treat carefully around original timber and finishes. We'll show you what we plan to do before any work starts.

What we treat in Dulwich Hill

Federation homes with timber floors and verandahs are a common place to find termites, especially near gardens and damp areas. Homes close to the GreenWay's trees see more possums, because the trees give them an easy path to the roof.

Rats move through shared walls and roof spaces in attached homes, and cockroaches are common in older kitchens and unit blocks.

We also inspect Dulwich Hill homes for termites and fit bird proofing to balconies and roofs.

Signs to watch for in Dulwich Hill

Dulwich Hill stretches south to the Cooks River, and its streets hold a large number of Federation homes. Verandah timber and floor joists in those homes are where termite damage tends to hide.

Homes near the GreenWay and its trees often hear possums at dusk. Droppings on the verandah and stains on the ceiling are signs one has moved into the roof.

If your home has original verandah timber, you can check it yourself every few months for soft spots and mud tubes. You'll catch problems while they're still small.

Keep downpipes flowing away from the house, because damp soil near your footings attracts termites.

How a visit works in Dulwich Hill

We look over the verandah and the roof space, taking care around original timber and plaster. You'll see the plan before any treatment starts.

If a possum is in the roof, we work out the entry point first so it can leave and be kept out.

What affects the price in Dulwich Hill

Heritage homes can take longer to inspect, because access to the subfloor and roof is often tight. Possum jobs depend on the number of entry points, and termite work depends on what the inspection finds, as set out on our termite control page.
