What is different about pest control in Perth
Perth has a serious termite problem and a well-developed pest control industry to match. The sandy soils, warm climate and large stock of timber-framed homes mean termite inspections and treatments are routine, and lenders and insurers often expect annual inspections. Beyond termites, the hot dry summers drive ants, spiders and cockroaches indoors, and the winter rains bring rodents into roof spaces. European wasps are less established than in the east but are monitored closely.

Termite risk
High across the metropolitan area; annual inspections are standard and expected by lenders.
Sandy soil
Barriers are easier to install than on clay, and reticulation systems under slabs are common in newer homes.
Seasonal pests
Summer ants and spiders, winter rodents; an early-summer treatment covers most of the year.
Distance
Perth is long north to south; a local operator means lower call-outs and faster service.
