What is different about pest control in Hobart
Hobart has the lowest termite pressure of any Australian capital; the cool climate keeps the destructive mainland species out, and termite work is a small part of the local trade. What Hobart does have is European wasps, which are firmly established and a real summer and autumn problem, rats and mice moving into older weatherboard homes every winter, spiders, and, in older damp homes, borer and mould that owners sometimes mistake for pests.

Low termite risk
Cool climate keeps termites minimal; do not pay for mainland-style termite programs.
European wasps
Well established; nest removal is a busy summer and autumn trade.
Winter rodents
Older weatherboard homes get rats and mice every winter.
Damp
Borer and mould in old timber homes are often the real issue.
