Up on the Ridge in Collaroy Plateau
Collaroy Plateau is an elevated residential suburb in postcode 2097, about 17.2 km north-east of the Sydney CBD, under Northern Beaches Council. It became a separate suburb from Collaroy in 2011 after local lobbying. From its ridge, homes overlook Collaroy Beach, Long Reef, Narrabeen Beach and Narrabeen Lagoon. The suburb has a trig station, the site of a Second World War radar station, Plateau Park, McLeans Lookout and the Edgar Gornall Wildflower Garden. Native dry sclerophyll vegetation includes banksias, waratahs, wattles and tea-trees.
The high ground and remaining native vegetation shape pest risks here. Gardens planted with natives or backing onto remnant bush can harbour termites and funnel-web spiders, and banksias and wattles attract possums. Homes on the ridge face wind and driving rain, and those on the slopes often have sub-floors and retaining walls where moisture collects. Streets are mostly houses rather than units, so pest control usually centres on the whole property, from roof to garden edge.

Augusta Shopping Centre is about 0.3 km away, and food waste from shops can support rats and cockroaches that move into nearby homes. Edgar Gornall Wildflower Garden, about 0.6 km away, is dense native planting where leaf litter shelters ants, spiders and rodents.

LOCAL PEST RISKS
Why Pests Find Their Way Onto the Plateau
Collaroy Plateau's native vegetation, elevation and sloping blocks create the conditions behind most local pest problems.
Native plant gardens
Banksias, wattles and tea-trees in gardens and reserves attract possums and shelter funnel-web spiders and termites close to houses.
Remnant bushland
Dry sclerophyll vegetation around the Edgar Gornall Wildflower Garden and other reserves can support termite colonies that forage into neighbouring yards.
Sloping blocks
Homes on the slopes above Collaroy and Narrabeen often have retaining walls and deep sub-floors where moisture builds up and pests shelter.
Wind-driven rain
Exposed ridgetop homes can get rain blown under tiles and into wall cavities, creating damp spots that attract termites and cockroaches.

FAQ
Collaroy Plateau Pest Control Questions
Local answers for Collaroy Plateau residents and businesses. Still unsure? Just call us.
Get a Free QuoteDo native gardens on Collaroy Plateau attract termites?
Native plants themselves do not cause termites, but thick mulch, leaf litter and damp soil in established gardens can support foraging termites close to the house. Keeping garden beds away from walls and weep holes, and using a thinner layer of mulch, reduces the risk. A yearly inspection from $159 is sensible.
Why are possums so common around the plateau?
Banksias, wattles and eucalypts provide food and shelter, and tall trees give possums easy roof access. Once inside a roof, they can be noisy and damage insulation. Possums are protected, so we use one-way exits and seal entries. Removal starts from $179.
Does living on the high side of the plateau affect pests?
Exposed homes can take strong winds and driving rain, which can lift tiles and let water into roof spaces. Damp roof timber attracts termites and cockroaches, and gaps give possums a way in. Checking the roof after storms helps prevent these problems.
How soon can someone come to Collaroy Plateau?
Usually the same or next day. We cover Collaroy, Cromer and Wheeler Heights regularly, so the plateau is a short drive up from jobs we already have nearby. Call 1300 313 373 to book, or for anything urgent like rats in the ceiling.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products, and gels and baits go into cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach. You are told the re-entry time on the day, usually once surfaces are dry, and which areas not to wipe so the treatment keeps working. Cover fish tanks and switch off pumps before we start.
Are you licensed and is the work guaranteed?
Elite Pest & Termite Solutions holds NSW Pest Management licence 5122967 and is fully insured. General pest treatments carry a 6-month warranty: if covered pests return in that time we come back and re-treat at no charge. Warranty terms for termite, rodent and other specialist work are confirmed in writing with your quote.
