Ashbury is a quiet residential suburb about 8.9 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, in postcode 2193. It is split between the City of Canterbury-Bankstown and Inner West Council. Almost the whole suburb is a heritage conservation area, made up mainly of Federation and Californian bungalow houses built between about 1900 and 1940, with leadlight windows, terracotta tile roofs and decorative timber. Peace Park sits on the high ground, and the southern edge of the suburb runs down towards the Cooks River.
Those detached houses on garden blocks are what shape pest risk in Ashbury. Bungalows commonly have raised timber floors over a sub-floor, timber verandahs and front fences, and gardens that have grown for decades. That combination suits subterranean termites, spiders and possums in roof spaces. Because heritage controls encourage owners to keep original timber, finding termite activity early matters more than it would in a new build.
Our technicians cover every street in Ashbury, from the Peace Park area down to the Cooks River end. Croydon Park, Ashfield, Canterbury and Dulwich Hill are on the same run, so same or next-day appointments are usually available.

What we actually see on the ground in Ashbury, and why it changes the treatment.
James Foster Reserve is about 0.4 km away and Graham Reserve about 0.6 km away, and reserves like these give ants, spiders and rodents mulch and leaf litter to live in. Ashfield Mall, about 1.2 km away, and Canterbury station, about 1.4 km away, are the nearest busy food and rail areas, where rats and cockroaches are common.
In Ashbury the priority is usually the house itself. We check verandah posts, sub-floor piers, timber stumps and fences, and look closely where paving or garden beds have been raised above the original ground level.

Ashbury has little high-density housing, so most problems start in gardens, timber and roof spaces rather than shared buildings.
Bungalows built on piers with timber bearers and joists give subterranean termites hidden access if soil, stored timber or garden beds touch the structure.
Mature trees, shrubs and thick mulch around older Ashbury homes shelter spiders, ants and cockroaches that then move indoors through vents and gaps.
Tiled roofs on Federation and interwar houses often have gaps under eaves and ridges that let possums and rats settle in the ceiling.
Streets near the Cooks River at the south of the suburb can see more mosquitoes and damp ground after rain, which also suits ants and termites.

Many Ashbury homes are fine for years, but damage is usually hidden until it is advanced, so we recommend a yearly timber pest inspection from $159, especially if the house has had extensions.
A soil barrier or baiting system is installed around the outside and in the sub-floor, so it does not change the look of the house. Where drilling through paths is needed, holes are small and sealed. We explain the options before starting, and termite treatments start from $179.
Possums are protected in NSW, so they must be handled under the rules rather than harmed. We identify where they enter, fit one-way exits so they leave at night, then seal the gaps. A nest box in the garden gives them somewhere else to live. Possum removal starts from $179.
