Real Estate & Strata Pest Control Services in Sydney

Real Estate Pest Control Services Sydney

PNP Pest Control understands that any pest infestation in a tenanted property is a sensitive matter that requires an urgent response and discretion.

Whether you manage strata, commercial or residential properties, our expert technicians can plan inspections & treatments allowing you to protect all investment properties that you have been entrusted with by their owners.

Property managers should act quickly at the first sign of a pest problem to prevent an infestation spreading throughout the property and neighboring buildings. Cockroach and rodent populations can expand quickly, spreading to infest entire properties in no time.

Pests also pose a serious health and safety threat with the potential to transmit pathogenic germs and cause extensive damage to equipment and buildings.

Rodents gnawing on wires, for example, can short-circuit electrical systems and increase the risk of fires.

What is the importance of pest control in common areas?

Unit blocks or townhouse complexes are high density residential areas and from a pest control perspective treating individual units is not always sufficient enough to control pests such as large cockroach species, spiders and rats or mice.

Cockroach Issues

Large cockroaches such as the American, oriental and Australian cockroach, can live and breed within the roof void, the sub floor and inside the walls of buildings and by just treating one or two units is not sufficient to eradicate and prevent other units or townhouses having issues with large cockroaches.

It is highly recommended that any property that is having an issue with large cockroaches or spiders conduct a spray to the common areas of the building which should include the roof cavity, sub floor, all internal and external common areas.

Pest Control for large cockroaches & spiders in a unit block or townhouse complex is recommended to be completed on a 4-6 monthly basis. Help protect the investment properties that their owners have entrusted you with whilst maintaining a pest free environment for your tenants!

If a property has reported issues with rats or mice it is important that the external common areas, roof cavity and sub floor area also be treat.

Just by treating 1 unit or townhouse is not going to ensure that the issue will be resolved, and this is because rats and mice come from outside and by organising an ongoing maintenance plan for the common areas you are creating a barrier for rodents before they head indoors.

Rodent Issues

Rodent control in high density living areas such as unit blocks or townhouses need to be completed in alliance with NSW & Australian standards.

Baits cannot be placed in any open area where there is a risk of children, pets or wildlife can gain access to the baits.

PNP Pest control will use lockable bait stations in all our strata managed properties to ensure only the safest baiting methods are used.

Lockable rodent stations (also known as bait stations) are an effective tool for controlling rats and mice which are specifically designed to prevent unauthorised access to baits, to stop the bait spilling out, ‘crumbs’ being carried away or baits being pulled out by mice and rats.
