Haberfield is an Inner West Council suburb about 6.7 km west of the Sydney CBD, in postcode 2045. Developed from 1901 by Richard Stanton as a planned garden suburb, it was promoted as slumless, laneless and publess. The whole suburb is heritage protected, with around 1,500 Federation and bungalow homes designed by the architects Spencer, Stansfield and Wormald, many with leadlight windows showing Australian flora and fauna and slate or Marseilles tile roofs. Ramsay Street has long been a centre for Italian food, and the light rail stops at Marion and Hawthorne.
Haberfield's pest risks come directly from its heritage houses and gardens. Federation homes have timber floors, verandahs, decorative timber and large roof spaces, and many owners keep original materials. That suits subterranean termites, borers, possums and rats. Established gardens and street trees add spiders and ants. We treat heritage homes carefully, using methods that do not affect original features.
We service all of Haberfield, from Ramsay Street and the light rail stops to the streets bordering Five Dock, Summer Hill and Ashfield. Five Dock, Summer Hill, Rodd Point and Ashfield are on the same route, so same or next-day appointments are usually available.

What we actually see on the ground in Haberfield, and why it changes the treatment.
Algie Park is about 0.1 km away, with trees and leaf litter where ants, spiders and rodents shelter. Hawthorne light rail stop is about 0.9 km away, and the corridor and its drains can give rats a route between suburbs. MarketPlace Leichhardt, about 1.3 km away, is a nearby food and retail centre.
In Haberfield we spend most of our time under and above the house. Sub-floors, verandah timbers, roof voids and garden edges are checked on every inspection, because that is where heritage homes are most vulnerable.
Landmarks we work around: Graham Reserve, MarketPlace Leichhardt, Hawthorne station, Algie Park.

Haberfield's heritage-protected houses and mature gardens are beautiful but give pests many opportunities. These four are the most important.
Timber floors, verandahs, fretwork and joinery that owners keep for heritage reasons can be damaged by subterranean termites and borers if moisture and soil contact are present.
Slate and terracotta roofs on big Federation homes can have gaps at ridges, valleys and eaves where possums and rats get into ceilings.
Established trees, hedges and gardens that define Haberfield provide cover for spiders, ants and possums close to homes.
Delis, cafes and restaurants on Ramsay Street produce food waste that can attract rodents and cockroaches to nearby properties.

If drilling through paths is needed, holes are small and sealed. We explain the options and their impact before starting. Termite treatments start from $179.
At least every 12 months, as recommended by Australian Standard AS 3660.2. Homes with original timber, garden beds against walls or past termite activity may benefit from more frequent checks. Inspections start from $159 and include a written report.
Haberfield's large trees and big tiled roofs make it good possum territory, and older roofs often have gaps. Possums are protected in NSW, so we use one-way exits to let them leave, then seal entry points. Possum removal starts from $179, and trimming branches away from the roof helps.

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