Pest control Strathfield

Thumping in the roof at night?

Strathfield is known for its large Federation and interwar homes on wide, tree-lined streets. Apartment towers sit around the station, one of Sydney's main rail interchanges.

Large timber homes with established gardens carry a real termite risk. A yearly inspection tells you early if termites have found their way in, before the damage gets expensive.

What we treat in Strathfield

Mature trees make Strathfield a common area for possums in the roof. We find where the possum is getting in and fit a one-way door so it can leave and can't return, then seal the other entry points. Possums are protected in NSW, so they're released close to where they were found.

Spiders build up around large houses and gardens, and rats follow fruit trees and compost bins. Apartment blocks near the station see German cockroaches moving between units.

As well as general pest treatments, we inspect Strathfield homes for termites and bird-proof balconies and roofs.

Signs to watch for in Strathfield homes

Central Strathfield grew from the Redmire Estate, which began to be subdivided in 1867, so many homes are large and old. Possums in the roof make heavy thuds at dusk and dawn, and leave droppings and urine stains on ceilings.

Big gardens with mature trees and beds against the walls give termites food and moisture. Check timber around the back steps and any garden edging that touches the house.

If you have trees close to the house, you can trim back branches that touch the roof. That's often the possum's way in, and you'll hear the difference quickly.

You'll also help if you keep sprinklers off the walls and garden beds below the damp course, so termites have less moisture to work with.

How a visit works in Strathfield

On a large home, we start by walking the outside to find where possums or rodents are getting in, often along branches that touch the roof. Then we check the roof void and the subfloor.

For apartments near the station, we check your kitchen and the shared ducts.
