Strata Pest Control for Sutherland Shire Owner Corporations
Pests in strata don't respect lot boundaries. One unit's cockroach issue moves through risers, walls and bin chutes into the next. Our building-wide programs cover common property, common areas and the perimeter — with fixed annual pricing, clear scope and reporting strata managers and committees can present at AGM.

Why strata needs a building-wide program — not unit-by-unit
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.
What strata managers, building managers and committees should watch for
Most strata issues are spotted by the building manager, cleaning contractor or a lot owner reporting through the strata manager. A clear protocol means issues are logged once, treated once, and reported back to the committee.
The real cost of unmanaged pests in strata
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.
Termite damage is rarely insured
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.
Lot owner complaints & disputes
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.
Property value & saleability
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.
Cleaning, repair & insurance premiums
Unaddressed rodent activity in roof voids and risers means damaged insulation, gnawed cabling, fire risk and rising insurance premiums at renewal.
Our strata pest control process
Every program is built around the building type, age, lot count, common areas and the strata manager's reporting requirements.
1. Building inspection & fixed-price scope
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.
2. Quarterly common-area program
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.
3. Annual termite inspection
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.
4. Lot-owner callouts (where requested)
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.
5. AGM-ready reporting
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.
High-risk areas in strata buildings
Our risk map covers every part of common property pests use to move through the building.
Basement carparks & storage
Rodent and spider hotspots — perimeter stations and bulkhead treatments keep activity out of storage cages and lobbies.
Bin rooms & garbage chutes
Cockroach and rodent magnets — monthly or quarterly servicing with lockable stations and gel baiting in chute hoppers and bin enclosures.
Risers, voids & plumbing penetrations
How cockroaches and ants move between lots. Dust applications in risers and sealing of penetrations break the network.
Roof voids & lift motor rooms
Rodent hotspots — droppings, gnawed cabling and fire risk. Stations and exclusion stop population establishment.
Gardens, perimeter & retaining walls
Termite, ant, spider and rodent entry points. Annual termite inspection and exterior baiting protect the building.
Common corridors & lift lobbies
Where lot-owner complaints arise. Routine inspection and discreet treatment keep front-of-house presentable.
