Pest control in St George & the Sutherland Shire

From the older suburbs of St George around Hurstville and Kogarah down to the Sutherland Shire, this part of Sydney is framed by the Georges River, Botany Bay and the Royal National Park. Sandstone, bushland and water are everywhere, and so are the pests that like them.

Common pests in St George and the Shire

• Funnel-web spiders. Bush-edge suburbs and gardens with sandstone rockeries are prime funnel-web habitat, especially in the warmer months. See spider control.
• Termites in older homes in St George and properties backing onto bushland in the Shire. See termites.
• Cockroaches in units around the busy centres and in older homes. See cockroaches.
• Possums and rodents in leafy streets and older roofs. See possums and rodents.

Coastal humidity

Closer to the coast, humidity stays higher for longer. Funnel-webs and termites both need moisture to survive, so damp gardens, leaking taps and poor subfloor ventilation all add to the risk. Keep the area around the house dry and clear, and fit door seals if you're on a slab near bushland.
