Pest Control Keilor

Pest control built around Keilor

Keilor sits along the Maribyrnong valley, and properties backing onto the parkland and river reserve deal with pressures the rest of the suburb does not. Rodents and spiders move in from the reserve, particularly as the weather cools, and they arrive from the back fence rather than the street.

The housing here is mostly established homes on larger blocks, which means more garden, more outbuildings, and more timber sitting on or near soil. Sheds, retaining walls, sleepers and woodpiles are all worth checking, and on a big block they are often far enough from the house that nobody looks at them.

For homes with a subfloor, ventilation is the thing that decides most termite outcomes. A damp, poorly ventilated subfloor in a valley suburb holds moisture through winter, and moisture is what termites are looking for before anything else.

• 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
