Pest Control Preston

Pest control built around Preston

Preston is mostly interwar and post-war housing, a lot of it weatherboard bungalows on stumps with established gardens. Homes of that age and construction give termites more ways in than almost anything built in the last twenty years, and most of them have no active barrier at all.

The subfloor is where the inspection matters. Stumps, bearers and joists sitting close to damp soil, poor cross-flow ventilation, and decades of stored timber under the house are all common here. So are garden beds and paving that have crept up against the weatherboards over the years.

Preston also has a busy food and retail precinct around the market, and older shopfronts with residential above them. Those bring the usual dense-area problems: rodents through shared walls and service ducts, and cockroach activity that moves between tenancies unless the whole building is treated.

• 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
