Pest control Engadine

Big black spider at the back door?

Engadine sits at the southern end of the Sutherland Shire, close to the Royal National Park and the Woronora catchment. It's a family suburb of brick and weatherboard homes on good-sized blocks, with the town centre and station in the middle.

With bush on several edges, many Engadine backyards run straight into habitat for spiders, possums and termites.

What we treat in Engadine

Funnel-web spiders shelter under rocks, logs and in sheds, especially after rain. They like moist spots such as rockeries, garden beds and the space under the house. A general pest treatment around the outside of your home reduces spider numbers, and we'll show you where they're most likely to shelter.

Termites move in from bush and garden areas, so an annual inspection is worth it for most Engadine homes. Possums move into roof spaces from nearby trees, and rats and cockroaches turn up in older homes too.

As well as general pest treatments, we protect Engadine homes from termites and bird-proof roofs and solar panels.

Signs to watch for in Engadine

Engadine sits between the Royal National Park to the east and Heathcote National Park to the west, on rolling sandstone slopes. The remaining land in North Engadine and Woronora Heights was developed in the 1990s, right up to the bush.

Funnel-webs wander after rain, often into garages and laundries. The Engadine Wetlands east of the station add mosquitoes in warm weather. Termites leave mud tubes along brickwork, and possums leave droppings on the roof and in the gutters.

If you live near the bush, you can keep your garage door closed at night and check your shoes before putting them on. You'll avoid most funnel-web surprises that way.

Your gutters and roof line are worth a look too, since possums travel along them from nearby trees and settle in the roof.

How a visit works in Engadine

We check the garage and laundry where spiders tend to wander in, and treat around the outside of the home. Then we look at the roof void and subfloor for termites and possum entry points.

You'll be shown where spiders are most likely to shelter around your yard.

What affects the price in Engadine

Homes with long bush boundaries and big gardens take longer to treat. Termite protection depends on the system you choose, and our general pest treatment page explains what's covered for spiders.
