Pest Control Footscray

Pest control built around Footscray

Footscray is two pest control jobs in one suburb. There is the older residential stock, weatherboard and brick homes with subfloors and mature gardens, and there is a dense retail and food precinct around the market and Barkly Street that runs on a completely different set of pressures.

In the homes, the usual work is cockroaches and rodents in subfloors and roof voids, ants through summer, and termite inspections on older properties where the original barrier, if there ever was one, has long since expired. Mature street trees and established gardens also bring possums onto roofs more often here than in a newer estate.

Around the food premises and the newer apartment blocks, the picture changes. Shared waste areas, service risers running between floors and back-of-house storage give cockroaches and rodents a route through an entire building, so treating one tenancy in isolation rarely holds. For food businesses we work to a schedule and leave the documentation an audit will ask for.
