AB1 Pest & Termite Control Oatley is your local termite inspection and control specialist in Oatley.
The climate in Sydney has ideal conditions throughout the year for insects to multiply. You will see a particular increase in activity in the time following a few hot days when there has been rain.
Regular pest inspections and treatments are important to control pests that can be destructive to property. Many pests are harmful to you and your family or just a nuisance.
German cockroaches will still remain as a major pest. The sprays and baits that you get from the supermarket will not get rid of these cockroaches. Call us about the use of new non-repellent treatments. The treatments are safe and guaranteed to get rid of German cockroaches (the small brown ones).
While we specialise in termite management, we can also get rid of all your nuisance pests like, spiders, cockroaches, ants, rodents, wasps and many more.

Are There Any Termites in Oatley? – Yes
Natural bushland means termite inspections in Oatley is needed
Late last year I walked up to the new Oatley Park Adventure Playground with my son. While he was riding his scooter I could not help myself investigating nearby trees. Found 3 trees with termite nests within 30 meters of the playground.
The big tree right in the middle of the park at the exit of the large green slide has termites, genus nasutitermes.
Next time your visiting the park, see if you can find the other 2 termite nests.
The termites are only doing what is natural to them in seeking out wood to sustain the colony. You just don’t want them in your home.
See the photos that I took on the day of the termite nest in a tree, lone termite and a termite nest on the ground next to a path.
If you wish to hear what termites sound like when they have been disturbed, refer to the video on our Termite Control Specialist page.

What To Do If You Find Termites At Your Home – Termite Inspections Oatley
If you find active termites at your home during renovations or other discovery, it is very important to apply immediate and correct treatment to the termites.
Call your local termite specialist for advice.
Do not spray the termites with an insecticide from the supermarket or hardware store. You may kill a few of the termites, but the remaining up to a million termites will still be lurking, waiting for the next opportunity to recommence feasting on your home.
The wrong treatment will cause greater difficulty to remove the termites from your home and increase the damage and cost to make your home free of termites.
A thorough termite inspection should be conducted and a suitable treatment plan devised. It could include the use of termiticide dusts, foams, baits or liquid treatments.
