Pest control in Hackett.
Hackett sits at the foot of Mt Majura, a small, leafy pocket of established homes backing onto bushland reserve. Bush-edge blocks mean more spiders, ants and the occasional wildlife visitor than the denser inner suburbs. Same-week residential and commercial service. Family-run. Fully licensed, ACT-licensed. Locally based.
What we treat in Hackett.
Our weekly run through Inner North Canberra covers four core jobs — general pest control, termite treatment (a real concern given the older housing stock common to the area), rodent and bird control (roof lines and overhanging branches), and wasp or bee removal when nests appear. Beyond those four we also treat ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, bed bugs, silverfish and possums in Hackett, and carry out pre-purchase timber pest inspections for buyers.

The pests we see most in Hackett.
Hackett is a compact 1960s Inner North suburb that backs directly onto Mount Majura Nature Reserve, close to Ainslie, Watson and the Dickson shops. Backing straight onto Mount Majura, Hackett is one of the Inner North's stronger suburbs for spider and wildlife call-outs — that reserve edge shapes the work, alongside the usual older-home issues. Four jobs dominate here.
Bushland spiders
Off the Mount Majura reserve come huntsmen, garden spiders and white-tails onto Hackett's reserve-side streets, into the damp garden beds and sub-floors. We work the exterior and the gaps in, not only indoors.
Possums & wildlife
Bush-backing Hackett yards get possums into the roof and the odd blue-tongue off Mount Majura. We block the roof-line access and rehome wildlife per the ACT rules.
Subterranean termites
Hackett's 1960s brick-and-tile homes lost their original barrier long ago, and the bushland damp only adds to the risk. An annual accredited termite inspection is the sensible call on houses this age.
Ants & wasps
Sugar and pavement ants track in from the gardens and paving, while European wasps set up in eaves and sheds over summer — cleared inside and out with a family-safe treatment.
