Pest Control St Albans

Pest control built around St Albans

St Albans is largely post-war housing on generous blocks, which changes what we look for. Brick veneer and weatherboard homes from the fifties through the seventies, often with a subfloor, and gardens that have had sixty years to grow in around them.

The most common issue we find on these properties is not inside the house at all. It is the garden: old sleepers, retaining walls, sheds sitting directly on soil, and stored timber down the side of the house. Any of those can hold a termite colony quietly for years before anything reaches the building.

Inside, the usual work is cockroaches in kitchens and bathrooms, rodents moving into roof voids over autumn and winter, and ants through the warmer months. On homes this age the original termite barrier, where one exists, is well past its service life and worth checking rather than assuming.

• 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
