Local conditions
Why St Leonards gets the pests it gets
St Leonards sits in the Lane Cove, around the station and the Royal North Shore Hospital precinct, where three councils meet. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
High rise, shared services
Riser cupboards, lift shafts, loading docks and central bin rooms connect every floor of a tower. Rodents and German cockroach use them, which is why treating one apartment or one tenancy rarely lasts.
The health precinct
Hospitals and medical buildings run around the clock with constant food service and waste handling. Pest control there is a documentation job as much as a treatment job.
Ground floor food
Cafes and food outlets at street level in a residential tower put a permanent food source directly under the apartments above. Grease traps and bin areas are where it starts.
Ongoing construction
St Leonards has been under construction for years. Disturbed ground and demolition reliably push rodents into whatever building is already standing next door.

- 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.

- 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.

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 St Leonards
Questions we get from this area
Do you do strata buildings in St Leonards?
Yes. Common property on a scheduled program: bin rooms, basements, risers, roof voids and grounds, with a written report after every visit for the committee's records.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes, and most work here is. Tell us the building's access arrangements and we will fit them.
Our building keeps getting rats in the basement. Why?
Basements and loading docks are the two hardest parts of a tower to seal, and with construction nearby the pressure is constant. Baiting alone will not hold it. The answer is proofing the entry points, then baiting to clean up what is already inside.
How is it quoted?
After a look at the building, because a single tenancy and a whole tower are different jobs. The quote is free and there is no callout fee.
Need someone in St Leonards?
Free quote, no callout fee. Mark will tell you what it needs before you spend anything.
