Pest Control Frankston

Pest control built around Frankston

Frankston is coastal, and the soil and housing stock both reflect that. Sandy, free draining ground and a lot of older weatherboard homes on stumps, many with subfloors that are easy for termites to move through and awkward for people to inspect properly.

Sandy soil is significant. It lets termites move and build more freely than heavy clay does, and it makes shallow entry points harder to spot from above ground. On a stumped home the inspection has to happen in the subfloor itself, checking stumps, bearers and any timber that has been stored down there and forgotten.

Above ground, coastal exposure does slow damage to the things that keep pests out: weep hole screens, subfloor vents and door seals all degrade faster near the bay. Ti-tree and established coastal gardens close to the house also give rodents and spiders a permanent staging point.

• 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
