Malabar sits around Long Bay in the City of Randwick, about 11.4 km south of the Sydney CBD in postcode 2036. The suburb took its name from the cargo ship MV Malabar, wrecked nearby in 1931. It is mostly residential, but big parcels of land are taken up by the Randwick Golf Course, the ANZAC Rifle Range and the Long Bay Correctional Centre. A small group of shops trades along Prince Edward Street, and Malabar Headland, with its wartime fortifications, forms the northern side of the bay.
For pests, Malabar is a suburb of edges. Streets run close to the beach, the headland scrub and the fairways, so spiders, ants and possums have plenty of cover close to homes. Sea air and sandy soil keep bathrooms and sub-floors damp, which suits cockroaches and silverfish. Houses close to the headland and the rifle range land are the ones where we pay most attention to termites and timber in contact with the ground.
Malabar is on our weekly southern Randwick route, together with Maroubra, Matraville, Chifley and Little Bay. That means we can normally schedule a visit the same or next day, including early morning appointments for people who work shifts or need to get to the city.

What we actually see on the ground in Malabar, and why it changes the treatment.
Boulevarde Reserve is about 0.2 km away and Malabar Beach about 0.4 km away, so most of the suburb lives within a short walk of grass, dunes and salt spray. Malabar Headland National Park is about 1.0 km away, and its coastal heath gives spiders, rodents and possums a large area to move from.
In practice, that means perimeter work matters more here than in inland suburbs. We look at fence lines facing open land, weep holes, damp sub-floors and the roof line where possums get in.
Landmarks we work around: Malabar Headland National Park, Malabar Beach, South Maroubra Shopping Village, Boulevarde Reserve, Chifley Sports Reserve.
Pest control in Malabar starts from $89 for a general treatment, and a termite inspection starts from $159. A unit usually costs less than a family house near the headland with a garden and sub-floor. We confirm a fixed price first, and every general treatment is backed by a 6-month warranty.

These are the conditions we find most often behind pest problems in Malabar, and each one points to a different part of the property to check.
Houses facing Malabar Headland or other open land can get funnel-web spiders, ticks and possums moving in, especially in the cooler, wetter months.
Moist sea air and sandy ground keep sub-floors, laundries and bathrooms damp, and that suits cockroaches, silverfish and timber decay.
Randwick Golf Course and the sporting reserves hold irrigated grass and drains where mosquitoes can breed and rodents find cover near housing.
The Prince Edward Street shops produce food waste, and rats and cockroaches can spread from rear bin areas into the nearest homes.

A perimeter spider treatment around doors, windows, eaves and garden edges reduces how many reach the house. We also show you where burrows tend to form so you can check them safely.
Salt air and sandy soil keep many Malabar homes damp underneath and in wet areas. Cockroaches and silverfish both prefer that moisture. Treatment works best when it is paired with better ventilation, so we check sub-floor vents, exhaust fans and leaking taps and tell you which ones are keeping the problem going.
Yes. Possum removal starts from $179. Possums are protected in NSW, so we use a licensed approach: we find the entry point, fit a one-way exit, and seal the roof once the possum has left. We can also suggest a possum box in your garden so it has somewhere to go.
Often, yes. Our technicians are in the southern Randwick area most days, working through Maroubra, Matraville and Little Bay. Call 1300 313 373 in the morning and we can usually confirm a time that day, or first thing the next day.
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.
