Pest Control Altona

Pest control built around Altona

Altona is one of the more established suburbs in Melbourne's west, with a solid mix of older weatherboard and brick homes, many with subfloors and decades old gardens. That history changes the pest picture from a newer estate: subfloor and roof void activity is more common, established trees bring possums and birds into the mix, and older termite barriers are often due for a check.

The calls we see most from Altona: cockroaches and rodents making use of subfloor access, spiders sheltering in mature gardens and outdoor structures, and termite barriers installed years ago that have not been inspected since. Coastal proximity also means slightly higher humidity, which subfloors and older weatherboard can hold onto if ventilation is not great.

We start every job with a proper inspection, including the subfloor and roof void where a property has them, since that is usually where the real activity is happening rather than what is visible from inside the house. If a termite barrier is ageing or was never installed, we will say so plainly.

Altona is a regular service area for us, and calls go straight to someone who can look at the actual situation and book you in, not a script.

• Subfloor and roof void inspections for cockroaches, rodents and termites
• Termite barriers on older homes checked and renewed where needed
