Pest control in Reid.
Reid is one of Canberra's oldest and most heritage-heavy suburbs, close to the Australian War Memorial and the city centre.

Fully licensed, ACT-licensed. Locally based.
What we treat in Reid.
We treat four things most often across Inner North Canberra: general household pests, termites (given the age of the timber framing in many homes), rodents and birds (roof cavities and eaves), and wasp or bee nests. Beyond those four we also treat ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, bed bugs, silverfish and possums in Reid, and carry out pre-purchase timber pest inspections for buyers.

The pests we see most in Reid.
Reid is one of Canberra's very first suburbs — heritage-listed garden-city cottages from the 1920s on tree-lined streets between the War Memorial and the city. The original timber in these homes shapes the pest work, and four issues recur.
Termites in heritage-listed homes
Reid's 1920s cottages carry original hardwood framing that termites find very attractive, with no modern barrier in place. Careful, regular inspection is essential on protected homes like these.
Borers in original timber
The old flooring and roof framing in Reid's cottages can harbour timber borers that quietly weaken the structure. We identify active borer and treat it before it spreads through the timber.
Redbacks & huntsmen
The mature garden-city plantings and old brick walls are ideal harbourage for redbacks and huntsmen. We knock back the outdoor populations before they head inside.
Silverfish in old storage
Period cottages and their document and linen storage are prone to silverfish. A targeted internal treatment protects papers and fabrics.
