Pest Control Yarraville

Pest control built around Yarraville

Yarraville is dominated by Californian bungalows and weatherboard cottages on narrow blocks, most of them stumped with a subfloor underneath. It is lovely housing stock and, from a termite point of view, some of the more exposed in Melbourne's inner west.

Narrow blocks are the complicating factor. Side setbacks are often under a metre, which means fences, garden beds and paving sit hard against the weatherboards with no clear inspection zone at all. Where a slab home would show you a visible edge, here there is frequently nothing to see from outside.

That pushes the work into the subfloor, checking stumps, bearers and ventilation properly. The village strip also brings the usual food premises pressures nearby, so rodent activity moving through older rear laneways and shared walls is worth factoring in for anyone close to it.

• Subfloor and roof void inspections for cockroaches, rodents and termites
• Termite barriers on older homes checked and renewed where needed
• Possum and bird management around mature trees and roof lines
• General pest control suited to weatherboard and brick construction
