Pest control in Macquarie Park

Macquarie Park is where we work from. It is mostly a business park rather than a residential suburb: office campuses, the university, the shopping centre, and a growing band of apartment towers around the metro stations.

Local conditions

Why Macquarie Park gets the pests it gets

Macquarie Park sits in the City of Ryde, the business park and university precinct, and where our own office is. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.

Office campuses and shared services

Large floor plates with central bin rooms, loading docks, end of trip facilities and basement car parks give rodents and cockroaches routes right through a building that a single office treatment will never reach.

Food courts and staff kitchens

A business park this size runs on food courts, cafes and dozens of staff kitchens. Each one is a small reservoir, and together they keep pressure constant across the precinct.

New apartment towers

The residential towers going up around the metro stations share the same risers, bin rooms and basements as any other high rise, with the same result: treating one apartment while common property is untouched does not hold.

Construction and landscaping

This precinct has been a building site for years. Disturbed ground, stored materials and fresh landscaping all push rodents into whatever is already standing.

What we use

The systems we are accredited in.

  • Termidor. A liquid termite barrier that termites carry back through the colony rather than simply avoiding.
  • Exterra. A termite baiting and monitoring system, used where a chemical barrier is not practical.
  • Termseal. Physical barrier systems, mostly at construction and renovation stage.
  • Greenzone and Pest Cert. Accredited applicator programs for general pest work.

Member of AEPMA, the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association. The products are registered chemicals applied by a licensed technician: water based, low odour, with no fumes once applied.

The termites here

Three species, one of them serious.

Sydney has three subterranean termites worth naming. Coptotermes acinaciformis is the destructive one and the reason inspections matter: it nests out of sight and works through structural timber from the inside. Schedorhinotermes is the second most common in damage claims. Nasutitermes mostly takes fences, stumps and decking rather than the house itself.

Telling them apart changes the treatment, which is why an inspection identifies the species rather than just confirming activity.
