Greenwich is in the Municipality of Lane Cove, about 4.6 km north-west of the Sydney CBD, on a peninsula on the northern side of Sydney Harbour at the opening of the Lane Cove River. It has some of the lower North Shore's oldest homes, including Greenwich House from 1836, and grew as a commuter suburb from the 1880s, with many Federation bungalows. Greenwich Point sits at the eastern tip, with a harbour swimming pool, sailing clubs, Manns Point Park and a ferry wharf. Historically, shipbuilding, quarrying and a Shell terminal at Gore Bay operated here.
Older timber homes, sloping harbour blocks and foreshore bushland give Greenwich a strong termite and rodent profile. Damp sub-floors near the water, mature trees over roofs and reserves along the shore can bring termites, possums and rats close. We inspect carefully and explain what each property needs.
Greenwich is covered by technicians working Wollstonecraft, Waverton, Woolwich and Longueville, so same or next-day appointments are usually available.

What we actually see on the ground in Greenwich, and why it changes the treatment.
Greenwich Baths is about 0.9 km away, and moist harbour air can keep sub-floors damp, which suits cockroaches, silverfish and timber decay. Holloway Park, about 0.4 km away, has mulch and leaf litter where ants, spiders and rodents shelter.
Wollstonecraft station is about 0.8 km away, and rail drains are one of the routes rats use between properties. Given the harbour exposure, inspections pay close attention to sub-floor ventilation, damp timber and roof lines near trees.
Landmarks we work around: Greenwich Baths, Mall 88, Lane Cove Country Club, Wollstonecraft station, Holloway Park.
General pest control in Greenwich starts from $89, and a termite inspection starts from $159. Federation bungalows and older homes with sub-floors and sloping gardens take longer to inspect and treat, which the fixed quote reflects. You receive the price beforehand, and general treatments carry a 6-month warranty.
The closest suburbs on our run are Wollstonecraft (0.7 km), Waverton (1.3 km), Woolwich (1.6 km) and Longueville (1.7 km).

Greenwich's history as one of the lower North Shore's earliest suburbs means older homes and harbour moisture dominate its pest risks.
Bungalows and older houses often have timber floors and verandahs that termites can reach through damp sub-floors or garden beds.
Homes on the peninsula can have humid sub-floors and lower levels, which encourage timber decay, silverfish and cockroaches.
Parks and bushland along the shore can shelter possums, rats and spiders that move into gardens and roofs.
Steep sites toward the water hold moisture behind retaining walls, drawing termites and slaters toward footings.

It can add to damp sub-floors and lower rooms, which encourages timber decay, silverfish and cockroaches, and makes timber more attractive to termites. Improving ventilation and drainage helps. Our inspections identify moisture problems as well as pest activity.
Homes close to trees and reserves often see possums in roof spaces. They are protected, so we use humane exclusion: finding the entry, fitting a one-way exit and sealing it afterwards. Possum removal starts from $179.

Yes. We use APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products, and gels and baits go into cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach.
