North Strathfield is a City of Canada Bay suburb in postcode 2137, about 11.2 km west of the Sydney CBD. For most of the twentieth century it was an industrial area, best known for the Arnott's Biscuits factory, which ran from 1908 to 1997. That site is now the Bakehouse Quarter, a precinct of offices, restaurants, cafes and shops, and Arnott's head office is still there. Other former factory sites have been replaced with higher-density apartments, alongside the older residential streets. North Strathfield station, on the Northern Line, was upgraded in 2019.
This change from industry to housing shapes pest pressure in the suburb. The Bakehouse Quarter's restaurants create food waste that rats and cockroaches follow, and construction on former industrial land can disturb rodents that then move into homes nearby. Newer apartment buildings bring shared basements and bin rooms. Older houses need attention to sub-floors, roofs and termite risk. We look at which of these applies to your property and treat accordingly.
We service North Strathfield homes and businesses, from apartments near the station to houses on quieter streets and venues in the Bakehouse Quarter. Homebush, Homebush West, Concord West and Concord are covered on the same route, so same or next-day visits are usually possible.
