Riverwood is split between Georges River Council and the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, about 17 km south-west of the Sydney CBD in postcode 2210. After World War II, the site of a wartime army hospital was used for public housing, and from the 1950s purpose-built apartment blocks and bungalows followed; the suburb was renamed from Herne Bay to Riverwood in 1957. Private housing developed in the southern sections. Riverwood station is on the East Hills line, Riverwood Plaza is the main shopping centre, the M5 Motorway crosses the suburb, and Salt Pan Creek, with mangroves along its shores, meets the Georges River here.
Post-war apartment blocks with shared bins and stairwells are a classic setting for German cockroaches and rodents moving between homes. Post-war bungalows face termites and rats in sub-floors, and homes near Salt Pan Creek can see more mosquitoes. We treat units, houses and shops with methods suited to each.
We service all of Riverwood, from unit blocks near the station and plaza to houses in the southern streets. Peakhurst, Narwee, Beverly Hills and Mortdale are on the same route, so same or next-day visits are usually available.

Riverwood's pest issues come from shared unit living, a busy shopping centre and its creek and river setting.
Shared bin areas, stairwells and plumbing in older unit blocks can let German cockroaches and rats spread between neighbours.
Supermarket and food outlet waste can sustain rodents and cockroaches in surrounding streets.
Mangrove and estuarine edges can breed mosquitoes and hold moisture that suits termites in nearby homes.
Older houses with sub-floors and roof voids can shelter rodents and give termites access to timber.
