Local conditions
Why Neutral Bay gets the pests it gets
Neutral Bay sits in the North Sydney, between Military Road and the harbour, running down to Neutral Bay and Hayes Street wharf. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
Interwar apartment blocks
The brick walk-ups throughout Neutral Bay were built long before pest proofing was a consideration. Shared wall cavities, old plumbing penetrations and a common bin area let cockroaches and rodents move between flats freely.
The Military Road strip
A long run of restaurants, cafes and grocers keeps a permanent food supply going. Buildings behind and above the strip carry most of the pressure from it.
Harbour foreshore
The foreshore and the wharf give rats cover and food. They move inland when an overhanging branch or a roof gap makes it easy.
Federation homes and damp
The older houses running down to the water have original timber, subfloor space and shaded, damp gardens. That is the combination subterranean termites look for.

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.

Asked in Neutral Bay
Questions we get from this area
We are an older strata block. What does a program look like?
Scheduled visits covering bin rooms, basements, risers, roof voids and grounds, with a written report the committee can file after each one. Individual flats are done as needed on top of that.
Can one flat be treated on its own?
It can, but in a block with shared walls and old plumbing it usually gets reinfested from next door. Mark will tell you which situation you are in before you spend anything.
Do you do the restaurants on Military Road?
Yes, on scheduled programs outside trading hours, with the documentation a health inspection asks for.
What are the prices?
General pest from $180 + GST, termite inspections from $280 + GST. Strata and commercial programs are quoted after a look, and the quote is free.
