Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Woolloomooloo is an inner-city harbourside suburb in the City of Sydney, about 1.2 km east of the CBD in postcode 2011. Once a working-class docklands area, it is now a mix of terraced houses, public housing and contemporary apartments. The heritage Finger Wharf, about 400 metres long and once the largest timber structure in the world, now holds apartments, a hotel and restaurants. Garden Island naval base sits offshore, and a 1973 green ban helped protect the area's low-income housing.
Woolloomooloo's pest issues come from density, age and the waterfront. Terraces and older apartment buildings share walls, roof voids and plumbing, letting German cockroaches and rats move between homes. The harbour foreshore and low-lying streets keep buildings damp. Restaurants on the wharf and nearby streets generate food waste, and rats use drains and lanes to reach homes.
We service Woolloomooloo with Elizabeth Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Potts Point and Darling Point. It is close to our city route, so same or next-day visits are normally available for homes, apartments and hospitality venues.
