KENSINGTON EXTERMINATORS
Bungalows, Flats and the UNSW Precinct
Kensington sits along Anzac Parade about 4.6 km south of the Sydney CBD, in postcode 2033 and the City of Randwick. Much of the land was once swamp that was levelled during the 20th century, and the University of New South Wales now occupies the site of the old Kensington Racecourse. NIDA and The Australian Golf Club are also in the suburb, and light rail along Anzac Parade opened in 2020. Most homes are flats and apartments, but streets of Federation houses and California bungalows remain.
That mix produces two distinct kinds of pest work. Apartments and student accommodation often deal with German cockroaches, mice and bed bugs, which can spread through shared kitchens, plumbing and second-hand furniture as students and tenants move in and out. The older freestanding houses have timber floors, sub-floor spaces and gardens where termites, rats and spiders can settle. Food outlets along Anzac Parade add waste that supports rodents nearby. We take a different approach for each type of home.

What drives pest pressure in Kensington
Wills Reserve is about 0.2 km away, and reserves with lawn, trees and leaf litter let ants, spiders and rodents live close to homes. The Australian Golf Club and Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre are each about 1.0 km away, and large irrigated spaces like these can support mosquitoes and rodents in warm, wet weather.
Because parts of the suburb were built on former swampland, some sites may hold moisture under the floor after rain. We check sub-floor ventilation and timber in older houses carefully, and in apartments we start with kitchens and shared bin rooms.
Landmarks we work around: Jack Floyd Reserve, The Australian Golf Club, Green Square station, Wills Reserve, Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre.

LOCAL PEST RISKS
Kensington Pest Risks, Home by Home
Kensington's pest problems vary sharply between its apartment blocks and its older houses. These four local conditions explain most of what we find.
Student and share housing
Frequent moves, shared kitchens and second-hand furniture in student and share accommodation can bring in bed bugs and German cockroaches and help them spread.
Former swampland
Parts of Kensington were built on levelled swamp, and where soil stays damp, subterranean termites and timber decay can become a concern for older houses.
Anzac Parade food strip
Restaurants and takeaways along Anzac Parade create steady food waste, which can support rats and cockroaches in lanes and adjoining buildings.
Bungalow sub-floors
California bungalows and Federation homes usually have timber floors raised over sub-floor spaces, where rats, spiders and termites shelter if ventilation is poor.

PREVENTION
Pest Checklist for Kensington Properties
- Check second-hand mattresses and bed frames closely before bringing them into share housing
- Keep shared kitchens clean each night, with food stored in sealed containers
- Clear sub-floor vents on bungalows so the space under the floor stays dry
- Have downpipes checked so they drain away from the house on damp sites
- Book a pest treatment at the start of a new lease rather than waiting for a problem
- Keep bins lidded if your home backs onto a lane behind Anzac Parade shops

FAQ
Kensington Pest Control Questions
Local answers for Kensington residents and businesses. Still unsure? Just call us.
Get a Free QuoteHow do bed bugs get into Kensington share houses and student flats?
They usually arrive in luggage, second-hand mattresses or furniture, then spread between bedrooms as people move items around. Early signs include small dark spots on mattress seams and bites in rows. We confirm the infestation, treat affected rooms from $119 and usually return for a follow-up to catch any newly hatched bugs.
Are California bungalows in Kensington at risk of termites?
They can be. Bungalows and Federation houses have timber floors and framing over a sub-floor, and parts of Kensington sit on former swampland where soil can stay moist. That combination suits subterranean termites. An annual inspection from $159 checks the sub-floor, roof void and garden and gives you a written report.
Can a landlord book treatment between tenants in Kensington?
Yes. A treatment between tenancies lets us reach kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms while the property is empty, which makes baiting and inspection more thorough. We send the report to the landlord or managing agent, so there is a record for the next lease.
Do you get to Kensington quickly?
Usually on the same or next day, since Kensington shares a route with Zetland, Waterloo and Moore Park. For share houses, tell us which rooms are affected and whether all tenants know about the visit when you call 1300 313 373, so every room can be reached.
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.
