Local conditions
Why West Ryde gets the pests it gets
West Ryde sits in the City of Ryde, around the station and the Victoria Road shops, running down toward Meadowbank and the river. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
The retail strip
Grocers, takeaway and food shops around the station keep a steady cockroach and rodent population fed. The flats above and behind the shops carry most of the consequence.
New apartment blocks
The blocks going up near the station and toward Meadowbank share bin rooms, basements and plumbing runs, so a problem in one apartment is usually a problem in the building.
Older homes behind
The residential streets are largely post-war with original timber and enclosed subfloors, carrying the standard termite risk for housing of that age.
The river end
Ground falling toward the Parramatta River holds moisture longer, and damp soil against a slab edge or subfloor is what draws subterranean termites in.

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.

How much does a termite inspection cost?
From $280 + GST, with a written report to the Australian Standard that is yours to keep. General pest treatments start from $180 + GST.
Do you do strata buildings?
Yes, on a scheduled program covering common property, with a written report the committee can file.
