Pest control Inner West
Pest control in the Inner West means working with some of Sydney's oldest homes. Terraces share walls, roofs and subfloors, so rats and cockroaches move easily from one house to the next. We find where they're crossing over and treat your home with that in mind.
From Newtown terraces to Burwood apartment towers, you'll get a clear explanation of the problem and a price before we start. You can call 0493 063 287 or request a quote online.

Pests crossing over from the house next door?
The Inner West is full of Victorian and Federation terraces, workers' cottages and walk-up unit blocks, with busy dining strips from Newtown to Burwood. Shared walls, old timber floors and back lanes give pests easy ways to move between homes.
In attached homes, we focus on the shared roof space, walls and subfloor. If a problem keeps coming back from next door, we'll suggest your neighbours treat at the same time.
What we treat across the Inner West
Rats and German cockroaches are the most common Inner West calls, travelling through shared roof spaces, walls and subfloors. Pigeons roost on awnings, parapets and old industrial roofs, and we fit spikes and netting to keep them off.
Possums nest in leafy streets near the parks and the GreenWay. Older timber homes are also worth a termite inspection, because termites can work under original floorboards for years unseen.
Alongside general pest treatments, we inspect Inner West homes for termites and bird-proof homes, strata buildings and businesses across the region.
Signs to watch for in Inner West homes
Scratching along a shared wall at night usually means rats moving between houses. Droppings in the roof space or behind the stove tell you the same story.
Under older timber floors, mud tubes on piers and boards that give underfoot point to termites. On shopfronts and balconies, a build-up of droppings below a ledge means pigeons have settled in.
If you share a wall, it helps to tell your neighbours what you've found. When you both treat at the same time, the pests have fewer places to retreat to.
You can also keep bins away from the back fence and clear the courtyard of stacked boxes, which takes away the cover rats like.
How a visit works in the Inner West
Most Inner West visits begin outside, with a look at the back lane and the roof lines next door. Then we check the kitchen and the roof void, and explain what we found.
If you run a food business on one of the dining strips, you can book a time before opening or after close.
What affects the price in the Inner West
Price depends on the size of the home and how far the problem has spread. Termite and bird work are quoted after an inspection, and our bird control page explains the options for awnings and balconies.

Blake did a fantastic job of installing bird spikes to our new construction.. He was on time, professional and patient with my queries. Great work!
Inner West suburbs we service
Each suburb has its own mix. In Newtown and Marrickville, narrow terraces with shared roof spaces let rats travel along whole rows. Leichhardt and Dulwich Hill have older timber floors and Federation verandahs worth a termite check.
Burwood and Ashfield mix apartment blocks with Federation houses, so cockroaches are a common call. In Strathfield, big older homes on leafy blocks often have possums in the roof. Pick your suburb below to read more.
