Termite Control in Shellharbour

Termites are subterranean insects that feed on cellulose, making timber-framed buildings especially vulnerable to structural damage. A single colony can contain hundreds of thousands of workers, often travelling through concealed mud tubes to reach wood inside your home. Infestations typically go unnoticed until serious damage has occurred, with early signs including hollow-sounding wood, blistered paint and discarded wings. Professional inspections use tools like moisture meters and motion sensors to detect hidden activity. Treatments may involve soil-applied termiticides, baiting systems that eliminate the colony at its source or integrated barrier systems. Ongoing monitoring is essential, as termite pressure in Australia is constant year-round.

Cockroach Treatments in Shellharbour

Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid environments and can breed rapidly, producing dozens of eggs in each casing. Common species like the German, American and Oriental cockroach are known to contaminate food, spread bacteria such as Salmonella and trigger allergies through their droppings and cast-off skins. They typically hide in dark, damp spaces like drains, behind fridges and under sinks, emerging at night to forage. Effective control starts with a thorough inspection to identify species and harbourage sites. Gel baits, residual sprays and dusting are used together to eliminate active pests and block future entry. Good sanitation and sealing of access points help prevent reinfestation.

Possum Removal in Shellharbour

Brushtail and ringtail possums are nocturnal marsupials that often seek shelter in roof cavities and wall spaces. Though protected under Australian wildlife laws, they can cause considerable disruption by damaging insulation, gnawing wiring and making loud noises at night. Because relocation distances are limited by law, humane removal is the only legal and effective solution. Our process begins with an inspection to confirm the species and entry points, followed by installation of one-way exit doors or approved traps. Once the possum has left, we seal all access holes using durable materials. Ongoing prevention may include trimming tree branches and securing outdoor food sources.

Pre-Construction Pest Control in Shellharbour

Pre-construction termite protection is a legal requirement for new builds and provides vital long-term defence against infestations. Treatments are applied during early construction stages, either by chemically treating the soil or installing physical membranes that block termite access. Areas around plumbing and electrical penetrations are also reinforced using collars or mesh barriers. These systems work in combination to prevent termites from reaching structural timbers through concealed pathways. All treatments are installed to Australian Standards and include certification for council and warranty purposes. While physical barriers can last decades, chemical options typically require maintenance and annual inspections to remain fully effective.

Commercial Pest Control in Shellharbour

Pests in commercial spaces can damage stock, interrupt operations and lead to compliance issues with health authorities. Different industries face different risks—restaurants may struggle with cockroaches, warehouses with rodents and offices with ants or spiders. We begin by assessing your site to identify entry points, harbourages and environmental conditions. From there, we implement targeted treatments with minimal disruption, using bait stations, barrier sprays and non-invasive monitoring tools. We also provide detailed documentation to support audits, insurance and food safety programs. Staff training in hygiene and waste control further enhances long-term results, helping you maintain a clean, compliant workplace.
