What we treat in Franklin.
Our Gungahlin run covers the same ground every week — general pests, termites (the age of the timber framing in many homes), rodents and birds (roof lines and overhanging branches), and the occasional wasp or bee nest. Beyond those four we also treat ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, bed bugs, silverfish and possums in Franklin, and carry out pre-purchase timber pest inspections for buyers.

The pests we see most in Franklin.
Franklin is one of the newer Gungahlin suburbs, built out from the mid-2000s around the northern light-rail terminus and close to the Gungahlin Town Centre and EPIC. The younger, densely-built housing — a lot of townhouses and compact blocks — sets a different pest mix to the older suburbs. These four come up most on Franklin jobs.
Termite barriers ageing out
Franklin's homes are now 15–20 years old, so the chemical termite barriers laid when they were built are ageing out. That's when subterranean termite risk starts to climb — a quick inspection catches it early, especially on slab-on-ground builds and attached garages.
Ants & spiders in tight blocks
The paved courtyards, retaining walls and compact landscaping across Franklin's townhouses are prime ground for Canberra ants and black house spiders. We treat inside and out using pet-safe product.
Cockroaches in townhouse kitchens
Shared-wall townhouses and unit blocks near the Town Centre see steady German cockroach pressure — one unit's problem quickly becomes the neighbour's, so we treat the run, not just the one kitchen.
Mice in the estates
As it cools, house mice get into Franklin's townhouses and garages through the smallest gaps. We bait, trap and close the ways in.
