Prestons is a family suburb in the City of Liverpool, close to the M5 and M7 interchange. Most homes were built from the 1990s onwards on concrete slabs, with neat gardens, pergolas and outdoor entertaining areas, alongside an industrial and logistics precinct that keeps the area busy.
Common pests in Prestons
- Ants under paving, along slab edges and trailing into kitchens. See ant control.
- Spiders on eaves, pergolas and outdoor furniture, including redbacks. See spider control.
- Cockroaches coming in from gardens and drains in summer. See cockroach control.
- Termites. Slab homes still need checking, as termites can travel up through slab joints and around plumbing penetrations. See termite inspections.
- Rodents around the industrial area and in roof voids. See rodent control.
Slab homes and termites
A concrete slab doesn't make a home termite-proof. Termites can get in through cracks, joints and gaps around pipes, and then travel unseen inside wall frames. Keep the slab edge visible, don't pile garden beds or mulch against the walls, and stick to an annual inspection.
