Pest control Prestons

Spiders in the eaves of your project home?

Prestons sits where the M5, the M7 and the Hume Highway meet, which makes it a hub for warehouses and logistics yards. Beside the industrial estates are newer housing estates built from the 1990s on, with family homes on smaller blocks.

Business and home pest problems here are quite different, so we'll start by asking what you're seeing and where.

What we treat in Prestons

Warehouses and loading docks attract pigeons, which roost in the rafters and foul stock and equipment. We fit commercial bird netting under the roof, spikes on beams and ledges, and roller door brush seals so birds can't fly in through the doors. Rats follow pallets and stored goods, and cockroaches turn up in staff kitchens.

Newer homes usually got a termite barrier during construction. Garden beds, paths and renovations can bridge it, and some barriers only last a set number of years, so an inspection is worth booking.

We also inspect Prestons homes for termites and bird-proof warehouses, loading docks and roofs.

Signs to watch for in Prestons

Most Prestons homes are brick veneer or two-storey brick-and-render project homes from the 1990s and 2000s. Many are now old enough that any termite protection laid at the slab should be checked.

Spider webs under the eaves, around window frames and on the garage door are the first thing most people notice. Mud tubes on the slab edge or behind garden beds are a sign of termites.

If you've added garden beds or paving since you moved in, you'll want to check they don't cover the slab edge. That edge is where you should be able to spot mud tubes.

You can also knock down webs from the eaves every few weeks, which helps your spider treatment last longer.

How a visit works in Prestons

We check the slab edge all the way around the house, including behind any garden beds or paving that cover it. Then we treat the eaves and garage for spiders.

If there's a termite barrier or bait stations from the build, we'll check those too.

What affects the price in Prestons

Two-storey homes take longer to treat around the eaves, and covered slab edges take more time to inspect. Our termite inspection page explains how barriers and bait stations work.
