Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Dover Heights is a small cliffside suburb in Waverley Council, about 6.4 km east of the Sydney CBD, sharing postcode 2030 with Vaucluse and Watsons Bay. It sits between Rose Bay to the west, Vaucluse to the north and North Bondi to the south, with sea cliffs dropping to the Pacific Ocean on its eastern side. The coastal reserves carry part of the Bondi to Watsons Bay cliff walk, and Dudley Page Reserve on the higher ground is known for its harbour views.
Homes are mostly substantial houses, many of them architect-designed and built to capture ocean or harbour views. Exposure to wind-driven salt spray, large windows, decks and landscaped gardens all influence pest problems. Spiders and ants shelter in coastal plantings and rock gardens, possums and rats use trees and roof lines, and timber decks or window frames exposed to moisture can attract termites. We inspect Dover Heights properties with those exposed conditions in mind, rather than treating them like sheltered suburban houses.
We cover all of Dover Heights, including the streets near Caffyn Park, Dudley Page Reserve and the cliff-top reserves. Rose Bay, Vaucluse, Bondi Beach and Point Piper are on the same route, so same or next-day appointments can usually be arranged.

What we actually see on the ground in Dover Heights, and why it changes the treatment.
Caffyn Park is about 0.1 km away, and grassed reserves and coastal plantings give ants, spiders and rodents shelter right beside homes. Rose Bay Beach is about 1.0 km away and the ocean cliffs are closer still, so wind carries salt and moisture into eaves, sub-floors and window frames. Royal Sydney Golf Club, about 1.3 km away, keeps a large area of irrigated turf that can support rodents and mosquitoes.
On inspection we pay particular attention to timber decks, pergolas and window frames exposed to weather, and to any rock walls or dense plantings against the house where spiders and termites can hide.

Dover Heights homes are built for the views, which also leaves them exposed to weather. These four conditions account for most of the pest risk we find.
Decks, pergolas and timber screens facing ocean winds and rain can crack and hold moisture, making them attractive to termites and wood decay if not maintained.
Dense coastal gardens, rock walls and mulch give spiders, including funnel-webs, and ants cool, damp places to shelter close to entries and outdoor living areas.
Mature trees near houses give possums and rats direct access to roofs, where they may enter through gaps in eaves, vents or roof tiles.
Wide sliding doors and windows used for views and breezes can let spiders, flying insects and cockroaches in if seals and screens are worn.

Termites can then move from the deck into the house. An inspection from $159 includes decks, pergolas and fences, and we note any timber that needs sealing, replacing or lifting off the ground.
Sydney funnel-webs favour cool, moist spots under rocks, logs and thick garden beds, so rockeries and coastal plantings can suit them. They are most active in warm, humid weather. A perimeter treatment reduces the risk, and keeping a clear gap between gardens and doorways helps keep wandering males outside.
Modern houses with large sliding doors, louvres and outdoor living areas still have gaps where spiders and insects enter, particularly around worn seals and screens. Outdoor lights also draw insects, which in turn attract spiders. A general treatment from $89 covers eaves, window frames and outdoor areas where webs build up.
Same or next-day visits are usually available, as Dover Heights shares a technician route with Rose Bay, Vaucluse and Bondi Beach. If your home has a gate, intercom or steep driveway, mention it when you call 1300 313 373 so the technician knows how to reach the door.
Yes. We use APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products, and gels and baits go into cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach.
