Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Annandale is a compact Inner West Council suburb about 3.7 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, in postcode 2038. Its streets run in a neat grid off Johnston Street and Booth Street, lined with Victorian terraces, semi-detached cottages and some of Sydney's more unusual late-1800s houses, including the Gothic Revival mansions known locally as the witches' houses. Parramatta Road forms the southern edge, and the suburb slopes north towards Rozelle Bay and the light rail.
For pest work, Annandale is mostly about age and closeness. Terraces share party walls and roof spaces, so rats and cockroaches that start in one house can reach the next. Many homes have timber floors over shallow sub-floors, rear lanes with bins, and extensions added over decades that leave gaps around pipes and eaves. We look for how pests are getting in before we treat, because sealing an entry point in a terrace often does more than a spray alone.
We work throughout Annandale, from the Parramatta Road shops up to the streets near Rozelle Bay. Forest Lodge, Camperdown, Lilyfield and Stanmore are on the same inner-city route, which helps us offer same or next-day visits.

What we actually see on the ground in Annandale, and why it changes the treatment.
Badu Park is about 0.3 km away, and small parks like it hold leaf litter and mulch where ants, spiders and rodents live. Jubilee Park light rail stop is about 1.0 km away, and rail corridors with their drains are a common path for rats between neighbourhoods. Norton Plaza, about 1.4 km away, is one of several food precincts nearby that keep rodent and cockroach numbers up.
Annandale also sits between two concrete stormwater channels, Johnstons Creek and Whites Creek, which carry water and debris towards the harbour. Drains like these can shelter rats, so rodent proofing along back fences and lanes is a regular part of our work here.
Landmarks we work around: Norton Plaza, Jubilee Park station, Badu Park.
Pest control in Annandale starts from $89 for a general treatment and from $159 for a termite inspection. A small single-storey terrace costs less to treat than a two-storey Victorian villa with a large roof space and cellar. Rat baiting and proofing is priced once we see the entry points. You get a fixed price first, and general treatments carry a 6-month warranty.

Annandale's 19th-century housing is attractive but porous. These four conditions explain most pest problems we find in the suburb.
Party walls, joined roof cavities and common sub-floors let rats, mice and cockroaches travel along a row of terraces, so one neighbour's problem can quickly become yours.
Johnstons Creek and Whites Creek run along the suburb's edges and can give rats sheltered, damp routes that connect to the street drainage network.
Back lanes with wheelie bins, sheds and overgrown fences provide food and nesting spots for rodents close to kitchens and laundries.
Original floor joists, window frames and later rear extensions can hide gaps and damp timber that termites, borers and silverfish exploit.

We find and block entry points, such as broken vents and gaps at roof junctions, and suggest neighbours treat at the same time where possible.
Yes, it is sensible. Houses of that age have extensive original timber, and later renovations can bridge soil to framing without anyone noticing. A timber pest inspection from $159 checks sub-floors, roof voids, window frames and gardens, and gives you a written report. It is also worth booking before buying, from $199 for a pre-purchase inspection.
They can. Older walk-up blocks share wall cavities, plumbing runs and garbage areas. We treat your unit with gel baits and targeted dusting in kitchens and bathrooms, and if the source looks like a common area we will say so, so the strata manager can arrange a whole-building treatment.

Yes. We use APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products, and gels and baits go into cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach.
