Victorian Terraces, Federation Cottages & Connected Roof Voids in the Inner West
The Inner West is defined by character housing: late-1800s Victorian terraces in Newtown, Enmore, Glebe, Stanmore, and Balmain, early-1900s Federation brick cottages in Marrickville, Petersham, Leichhardt, Summer Hill, and Haberfield, and post-war walk-up flats and high-rises around Ashfield, Burwood, Strathfield, and Rhodes/Homebush.
Older terraces and semis share continuous brick party walls, narrow damp breezeways, and low sandstone-pier subfloors. That architecture allows German and American cockroaches, roof rats, Norway sewer rats, silverfish, and black house ants to travel straight along a row of houses. Our $99 General Pest Package treats all five zones — internal rooms, kitchen cockroach gel, roof void dusting, subfloor, and courtyard/perimeter — to create a complete shield around your home.
Damp Subfloors & Subterranean Termite Inspections Across the Inner West
Many Federation and Californian bungalows in Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt, Haberfield, Ashfield, and Strathfield sit over clay soil with cast-iron or terracotta subfloor vents that have been partially blocked over the decades by concrete side paths or courtyard renovations. Poor subfloor ventilation traps moisture against structural Oregon and hardwood floor bearers — creating ideal conditions for subterranean termites.
Our $199 thermal imaging termite inspection scans subfloors, internal timber framing, skirting boards, and roof spaces in line with AS 3660.2 and provides a detailed written report.

Laneway Rats, Cafe Strips & Possums in Inner West Roofs
Rear cobblestone laneways, brewery and restaurant strips along King Street, Enmore Road, Norton Street, and Burwood Road, and the Cooks River / Hawthorne Canal corridors generate heavy rodent activity. At the same time, mature brush box and fig trees give native brushtail and ringtail possums easy access to terrace roofs.
Before placing any bait in an Inner West ceiling, our technician inspects the roof void to confirm whether the noises are rats/mice or a protected native possum — then deploys lockable, pet-safe $149 rodent stations or humane possum-proofing advice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control in Inner West
Does the $99 General Pest Package cover Inner West terraces, semis, and apartments?
Yes. For any terrace, semi, cottage, or apartment up to three bedrooms across the Inner West, our $99 General Pest Package covers internal rooms, kitchen cockroach gel baiting, roof void dusting, subfloor treatment where accessible, and courtyard/external perimeters — with a 6-month free re-treatment warranty.
How do you tell if the loud noise in our terrace ceiling is rats or a possum?
Inner West terraces get both. Possums make heavy thudding steps and coughing/screeching sounds mainly at dusk and dawn, while roof rats make lighter scampering and gnawing sounds all night. We inspect your manhole first so rats are baited safely (from $149) and protected possums are handled via legal exclusion.
Are your treatments safe for our indoor cat or dog in a small courtyard home?
Yes. We use low-toxicity, odourless formulations, conceal cockroach gel inside hinges, and lock any ground-level rodent baits inside heavy-duty tamper-resistant stations that dogs and cats cannot open.
Can I get a same-day End of Lease flea spray certificate in the Inner West?
Yes. Our End of Lease Flea Treatment starts from $120 and comes with an official NSW EPA-licensed Tax Invoice and Certificate of Treatment for your Inner West property manager. Mention THE DON for 10% off.
