Local Pest Control & Exterminator, Built for Westville Properties

Westville’s older Randlord-style homes, large timber-framed roofs and mature gardens are prime territory for termites and wood borer, while its edge along the Palmiet Nature Reserve and Bridle Park brings the odd snake sighting into gardens closer to the greenbelt.

We work with homeowners across Westville, from the older streets near the university to the newer estates further out, offering termite protection, wood borer treatment and snake removal for properties bordering the reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Why do older Westville homes seem more prone to termites and wood borer?

    Many Westville homes were built decades ago with solid timber roof structures and floors, and mature gardens close to the house add moisture, both of which termites and wood borer thrive on. We offer inspections and treatment plans suited to older timber-framed properties.

  2. Do you get called out for snakes in Westville?

    Yes, properties near the Palmiet Nature Reserve and other greenbelt areas in Westville do see snake activity from time to time, particularly in summer. We offer snake removal and advice on reducing what attracts them to a garden.

  3. Can you treat Westville homes near the university or student housing?

    Yes, we work with landlords, letting agents and body corporates around the university precinct, offering cockroach and general pest treatments suited to shared and rented properties.

  4. Do I need a soil poisoning certificate when selling my Westville home?

    Many buyers and bond providers request a valid termite/soil poisoning certificate before transfer, especially for older homes. We issue compliant certificates after inspection and treatment.
