Pest control in North Sydney
North Sydney is an office centre first. Towers, ground floor food, and apartment buildings threaded between them. Almost everything we do here is commercial or strata rather than a house call.

Local conditions
Why North Sydney gets the pests it gets
North Sydney sits in the North Sydney, the commercial centre on the northern side of the Harbour Bridge. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
Office towers and shared services
Lift shafts, riser cupboards, loading docks and central rubbish rooms connect every floor of a tower. Rodents and German cockroach use those routes, which is why a single floor treatment rarely holds.
Ground floor food
Cafes and food outlets at street level in a tower mean a permanent food source directly underneath the tenancies above. Grease traps and bin areas are the two places it usually starts.
End of trip and basement areas
Basement car parks, bike stores and end of trip facilities are damp, warm and rarely inspected, which makes them the quiet reservoir for a building's cockroach problem.
Residential towers
The apartment buildings have the same shared services as the offices, and the same issue: treating one apartment while the risers and bin room are untouched does not last.

Prices, up front.
- General pest treatment, from $180 + GST. Interior, subfloor and exterior. Cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish. Six month guarantee, German cockroaches excepted.
- Termite inspection, from $280 + GST. A full inspection to Australian Standard AS 4349.3, with a written report that is yours to keep.
- Termite treatments, by quote. Barriers and colony elimination. The price depends on the size of the building and what is found, so it is quoted after the inspection, never before.

- Greenzone and Pest Cert. Accredited applicator programs for general pest work.

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 North Sydney
Questions we get from this area
Do you do office buildings?
Yes. Scheduled programs covering common property, basements, bin rooms, risers and food tenancies, with a written report after each visit for the building's records.
Can you work after hours?
Yes. Most commercial work in North Sydney is done outside business hours so it does not interrupt tenants. Tell us the access arrangements and we will fit them.
We have pigeons on the building. Can you help?
Yes. Netting, spikes and proofing so they cannot roost, which is the only thing that works long term. Cleaning the mess without closing the roost just means doing it again.
How is commercial work quoted?
After a look at the site, because a single tenancy and a whole tower are different jobs. Quotes are free and there is no callout fee.
Need someone in North Sydney?
Free quote, no callout fee. Mark will tell you what it needs before you spend anything.
