Pest control across Newcastle and the Hunter

The Hunter is four pest environments wearing one postcode range, and the difference is not marketing. The age of the timber, the water table, the distance to the bush line: they decide what turns up in your house and where we look first. Find your country below.

Iron lace terrace houses in Cooks Hill, Newcastle
FIG. A, the inner ring

Newcastle

Terraces with shared walls, Federation weatherboards on shallow damp subfloors, salt air off the harbour keeping the timber moist. Cockroaches and rodents run the party walls; the subfloors stay damp enough to keep termites interested.

Brick and tile post-war house in Lake Macquarie
FIG. B, the brick-and-tile belt

Lake Macquarie

Postwar brick-and-tile on piers, gardens grown up over forty years, mulch and beds sitting above the weep holes. Quiet subfloors with blocked vents are the lake's standing termite story.

Weatherboard house on piers on the Maitland floodplain
FIG. C, the floodplain

Maitland

River-flat country with real wet years. After heavy rain the rodents move off the paddocks and into roof voids in numbers, and everything that likes moisture follows.

Modern home with timber deck backing onto bushland near Port Stephens
FIG. D, sand and bush

Port Stephens

Sandy soil, bush at the back fence, decks and landscape timber doing the entertaining. The vegetation line sets the spider pressure and the sleepers feed the termites.
