Como sits on the southern bank of the Georges River in postcode 2226, about 20.2 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, with the Woronora River forming its western edge. It is part of the Sutherland Shire. The suburb is known for its railway bridge: the original single-track bridge from the 1880s now carries walkers and cyclists, while trains use a newer concrete bridge beside it. Como station, the Como Hotel and the Como Pleasure Grounds by the river are local landmarks.
Most homes in Como are separate houses, many on sloping blocks running down towards the water or up against bushland. Como West was badly hit by bushfires in 1994, which is a reminder of how close the bush is. For pest control, the combination of river foreshore and bushland means termites, spiders, possums and rats all turn up in Como homes. We pay particular attention to sub-floors, garden edges near reserves and anything timber close to the water.
Como is on our regular run with Bonnet Bay, Jannali, Oyster Bay and Kareela. Technicians working these suburbs pass through Como most days, so same or next-day visits are usually possible.

What we actually see on the ground in Como, and why it changes the treatment.
Henry Lawson Reserve is about 0.3 km away, and its trees and leaf litter provide cover for ants, spiders and rodents close to homes. Ninth Avenue Reserve, about 1.7 km away, is part of the wider bushland where termites and funnel-web spiders live.
Como station is about 0.4 km away. Rail corridors and their drains are a common travel route for rats, and in Como the line runs close to houses on its way to the bridge. River foreshores add damp soil and mosquito breeding spots, especially on lower blocks after heavy rain.
Landmarks we work around: Ninth Avenue Reserve, Kareela Golf Course, Como station, Henry Lawson Reserve.
A general pest treatment in Como starts from $89, and a termite inspection from $159. Sloping riverside blocks with decks and sub-floors can take longer, so we give you a fixed price before any work starts. Rodent and possum work is quoted on inspection, and general treatments come with a 6-month warranty.

River frontage, bushland and the rail line all meet in Como, and each one brings its own kind of pest pressure.
Blocks sloping to the Georges or Woronora River often have damp lower ground, which draws termites and gives mosquitoes places to breed.
Bush reserves around Como and Como West shelter termites, funnel-webs, ticks and possums that can move into nearby gardens.
The Illawarra line and its drains run between houses, giving rats a sheltered corridor to travel along at night towards the river.
Some Como homes are older weatherboard or timber-floored houses, where gaps in sub-floors and roofs give rodents and termites access.

That does not guarantee a problem, but it is a good reason for yearly inspections. Our termite inspections start from $159.
Rats do use rail corridors, drains and the vegetation along them to move around, so houses beside the line may notice more activity. Tamper-resistant bait stations along the boundary and sealing roof and sub-floor gaps usually keep them out of the house itself.
Start by removing still water around your home, such as blocked gutters, pot saucers and buckets. A barrier treatment on shrubs and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest can then reduce numbers around outdoor living spaces. Mosquito treatments start from $119.
Yes. We inspect every area that can be safely accessed and use tools such as moisture meters to check walls and timber we cannot reach directly. Any areas that could not be inspected are noted in the written report, so you know exactly what was covered.
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.
