Collaroy lies along one continuous surf beach of about 3.4 km that runs north and joins Narrabeen Beach at Wetherill Street. It is in postcode 2097, around 17.6 km north-east of the Sydney CBD, within Northern Beaches Council. Long Reef headland marks the southern end. Pittwater Road is the main street, with cafes, restaurants, a cinema and The Collaroy hotel. In June 2016 a major storm eroded the beach and left a row of beachfront houses on Pittwater Road with backyards washed away.
Being right on the open beach gives Collaroy its own pest problems. Houses and apartment blocks close to the sand have sub-floors and basements exposed to salt spray and damp. Units share bin rooms and car parks, where cockroaches and rodents spread. The busy Pittwater Road strip adds food waste. Storms and erosion can also disturb soil and footings, which is worth keeping in mind for termite protection. We look at each building and its position before recommending a treatment.
We cover Collaroy from Long Reef to Narrabeen, including beachfront homes, unit blocks and businesses along Pittwater Road. Collaroy Plateau, Wheeler Heights, Cromer and Narrabeen are close by on the same route, so same or next-day visits are usually available.

What we actually see on the ground in Collaroy, and why it changes the treatment.
Frazer Reserve is about 0.1 km away, and its garden beds and trees give ants, spiders and rodents shelter. Collaroy Beach is about 0.3 km away, and salt spray keeps sub-floors and basements damp, which suits cockroaches, silverfish and timber decay. Long Reef Golf Course, about 1.5 km away, keeps turf irrigated and can support mosquitoes.
For beachfront properties, we check sub-floors, basements and garages. For units and shops along Pittwater Road, we start with bins and shared service areas.

Collaroy's pest issues come mainly from its position on the open beach and its mix of houses, units and shops.
Homes close to the beach face constant salt and damp, which can soften timber and keep sub-floors humid for cockroaches and silverfish.
Storms that erode the beach, like the one in June 2016, can disturb soil around footings and may affect existing termite barriers on beachfront blocks.
Cafes, restaurants and a hotel along the main strip produce food waste that supports rats and German cockroaches in nearby buildings.
Units share bin rooms, car parks and service ducts, so cockroaches and rodents can move between apartments easily unless common areas are treated.

If storms, erosion or repair works move soil near your foundations, parts of the barrier may be damaged. After major works, it is worth having a termite inspection from $159 to confirm protection is intact.
Apartment buildings share bins, car parks and service ducts, and cockroaches travel easily between them. Salt air and humid basements add to the problem. We treat individual units with gel baits and can quote strata for common areas when the source is shared.
