Pest Control Essendon

Pest control built around Essendon

Essendon has a lot of substantial period housing: Edwardian and interwar homes, solid original timber, deep subfloors, and gardens with trees that have been there as long as the houses. Good properties, and ones where a termite problem can run a long way before anyone notices.

On homes like these the inspection is genuinely physical. Getting properly into the subfloor, checking stumps and bearers, working through a roof void that has decades of stored material in it. It takes longer than a modern slab home, and skipping either of those areas makes the inspection close to pointless.

Mature trees also mean possums, consistently. Older tiled roofs and overhanging branches give them easy access into roof voids, and once they are in, the noise and the mess follow quickly. That work is about exclusion and blocking entry points, not treatment.

• 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
