Pest Control Where Two Rivers Meet
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.

Riverbanks, rail and reserves in Como
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.
How much is pest control in Como?

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

- Keep fences backing onto the rail line clear of dense weeds where rats shelter
- Clear gutters of leaves before storm season
- Look for mud tubes on piers and brickwork when you are under the house

FAQ
Como Pest Control Questions
Local answers for Como residents and businesses. Still unsure? Just call us.
Get a Free QuoteDo riverside houses in Como have a higher termite risk?
They can. Soil near the river often stays moist, and termites need moisture to survive and forage. Sloping blocks also send water towards lower walls and sub-floors. That does not guarantee a problem, but it is a good reason for yearly inspections. Our termite inspections start from $159.
Are rats a problem near the railway line in Como?
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.
What can I do about mosquitoes near the Como Pleasure Grounds and river?
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.
Can you inspect a Como house with a steep, hard-to-reach sub-floor?
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.
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.
