When one lot owner pays a pest controller and the next does nothing, the problem just moves. German cockroaches travel through plumbing risers and shared walls. Rodents use roof voids, bin chutes and basement carparks. Termites enter through gardens, retaining walls and slab penetrations.
A building-wide program treats common property and the perimeter once, on a schedule the owner corporation owns — and gives every lot owner a stable, low-cost result. It is almost always cheaper than 20 separate callouts a year and produces the documentation strata managers need.

Owner corporations have a statutory duty to maintain and repair common property under the Strata Schemes Management Act. Pest control of common areas, basements, bin rooms and roof voids falls within that obligation — and ignoring it has real cost.
A documented building-wide program reduces unit-by-unit callouts, prevents termite damage that owners cannot insure against under standard policies, and gives the committee answers when a lot owner complains.
Most strata insurance excludes termite damage. A timber-frame or hybrid building with no annual inspection can face six- and seven-figure repair bills the OC has to special-levy.
Recurring cockroach, rodent or ant issues in common areas drive complaints to the strata manager and, eventually, NCAT applications against the OC for failing to maintain common property.
Buyers and lenders check strata records. A history of pest complaints or a missing pest plan affects sale price, finance and the building's reputation.
Unaddressed rodent activity in roof voids and risers means damaged insulation, gnawed cabling, fire risk and rising insurance premiums at renewal.
We walk common property — basement, bin rooms, lift lobbies, roof voids, gardens and perimeter — and provide a written scope and fixed annual price the committee can approve at one meeting.
Cockroach, ant and spider treatment in common corridors, bin rooms and basements; rodent stations through the perimeter, bin chutes and roof voids; insect-light traps where appropriate.
Building-wide AS 3660.2 inspection of common property — slab edges, retaining walls, fencing, gardens, garages and roof voids — with a written report for the OC and strata file.
Where lot owners report activity inside their unit, we attend at a pre-agreed unit rate billed direct to the owner — keeping common-property costs separate from in-lot work.
Quarterly reports for the strata manager and an annual summary for the AGM — findings, treatments, termite inspection results and recommendations the committee can act on.
Rodent and spider hotspots — perimeter stations and bulkhead treatments keep activity out of storage cages and lobbies.
Cockroach and rodent magnets — monthly or quarterly servicing with lockable stations and gel baiting in chute hoppers and bin enclosures.
How cockroaches and ants move between lots. Dust applications in risers and sealing of penetrations break the network.
Rodent hotspots — droppings, gnawed cabling and fire risk. Stations and exclusion stop population establishment.
Termite, ant, spider and rodent entry points. Annual termite inspection and exterior baiting protect the building.
Where lot-owner complaints arise. Routine inspection and discreet treatment keep front-of-house presentable.
