Pest Control for Hillcrest Body Corporates and Sectional Title Complexes
Cockroaches, rats and pigeons pay no attention to unit boundaries, and Hillcrest’s sectional title complexes and estates show it. Treating one unit at a time rarely works when pests share roofs, drains and refuse areas. We help trustees and managing agents treat the whole complex, as part of our pest control in Hillcrest.

Written records you can table at the AGM.
Why Hillcrest Complexes Need a Coordinated Approach
Hillcrest has a large number of sectional title complexes and estates, and in a complex one untreated unit can keep the whole building infested.
- Gated estates Estates like Cotswold Downs, Camelot and Plantations share roads, gardens and refuse areas across many homes.
- Townhouse complexes Townhouse and cluster complexes share roofs, ducts and bin rooms.
- Landscaped estates Large estate gardens and green belts shelter ants, rats and spiders right up to the buildings.
- Birds on roofs Pigeons on ledges and solar panels affect every owner below.
We work with trustees and managing agents across Hillcrest’s estates and complexes, and in Winston Park, Everton and Waterfall.

Planning Pest Control for a Hillcrest Complex
A complex-wide plan works best when trustees, the managing agent and owners all know what’s happening.
- Agree who pays for what Your conduct rules should say whether common property and units are treated together. Clarifying this upfront avoids disputes later.
- Give owners and tenants notice Owners and tenants need to know the date, what to prepare and how long to stay out. A notice from the managing agent a week ahead works well.
- Keep refuse areas under control Bin rooms are where most complex infestations start. Regular cleaning and lids that close properly make treatment last longer.
- Log complaints A simple record of where residents see pests shows trustees which blocks or units need attention first.
- Budget for regular visits Planning scheduled treatments into the annual levy budget is usually cheaper than paying for repeated emergency call-outs.
Records from each visit can go straight into the AGM pack.
Frequently Asked Questions About Body Corporate Pest Control in Hillcrest

Will trustees get a report?
Yes. You get written records after each visit, ready to table at the AGM.
Do you offer service contracts?

Who pays for pest control in a sectional title complex?
Common areas are usually the body corporate’s responsibility. Inside a unit it depends on the conduct rules and, for tenants, the lease. Trustees often treat everything together because it works better.

For most complexes, yes. We plan it with the trustees or managing agent so owners and tenants know when to expect us.
