Chifley is a small residential suburb about 11.5 km south of the Sydney CBD, in postcode 2036 and the City of Randwick. Named after Prime Minister Ben Chifley, it became a separate suburb in 1964, and a large public housing development with multi-storey buildings was part of its growth in that decade. Much of the original low-rise housing has since been replaced by larger family homes and townhouses, so the streets now mix older houses, newer builds and unit blocks.
Its location between Malabar and Little Bay puts it close to open headland, and a small remnant of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub survives on its western edge, a reminder of the native vegetation that once covered this area. That green space can bring spiders, ants and occasionally funnel-webs into gardens, and sandy local soils can suit subterranean termites. New homes built on old sites also need checking, because a knockdown can disturb termite activity nearby. We keep treatments practical for households with children and pets.
Our technicians service all of Chifley, including the streets around Dr Walters Park and the sports fields. Malabar, Matraville, Little Bay and Phillip Bay are covered on the same southern run, so we can usually book you in for the same or next day.

What we actually see on the ground in Chifley, and why it changes the treatment.
Doctor Walters Park is about 0.4 km away and Chifley Sports Reserve about 0.6 km away. Irrigated playing fields and park edges give ants, spiders and rodents food and cover, and bins at sporting grounds can attract rats on busy weekends. Malabar Headland National Park, about 1.8 km away, adds a larger area of coastal bush and heath to the south-east.
Because many Chifley homes have been rebuilt, we often find new slabs sitting beside older fences, sheds and timber garden edging. Those older timbers are where termites tend to show up first, so we check them along with the house itself.
Landmarks we work around: Malabar Headland National Park, Malabar Beach, Doctor Walters Park, Chifley Sports Reserve.
General pest control for a Chifley home starts from $89 and a termite inspection starts from $159. Townhouses and units usually sit near the lower end, while a larger new family home with a garden costs a little more. You are quoted a fixed price upfront, and general treatments include a 6-month warranty.

Chifley's pest pressure comes from a combination of rebuilding, open space and nearby coastal bush. These four conditions account for most of what homeowners report.
Demolition and new construction can disturb soil, old timber and existing termite colonies, and neighbouring homes may see termite or rodent activity during and after works.
The patch of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub on Chifley's western edge and nearby headland bush can harbour spiders, ants and native wildlife that wander into gardens.
Watered turf, bins and clubhouses at local reserves keep ants and rodents active, and houses facing these open spaces often notice them first.
Timber fences, sleeper edging and sheds left from earlier houses can give termites an easy food source right next to a new slab.

Get a Free QuoteNew homes in NSW generally have to include termite management measures under the building rules, but gardens, fences and later landscaping can bypass them. It is worth confirming what system your builder is installing, and booking an inspection once landscaping is finished. Termite inspections start from $159.
They can. Sydney funnel-webs live in moist, sheltered spots such as under rocks, logs and dense garden beds, and homes near bush or scrub can see males wander in during warmer months. Our general treatment from $89 targets spider harbourage around the perimeter, and we suggest simple steps to reduce hiding places.
Yes. We treat individual units using gel baits and targeted products in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. If cockroaches or mice keep returning, the cause is often a shared space, so we can let you know what to raise with the building manager or housing provider.
