Home Pest Control Sydney

We understand that your home is where your heart is. You definitely don’t want to think of your home as the place where unwanted pests live too! Hire us at Forensic Pest Control for all your home pest control needs.

So You Have A Pest Problem?

If you live in Sydney and you think you have any of the following common household pests in or around your home, call us to discuss your problem. We’ll give you the option of either a targeted or general pest control treatment.

  • Cockroaches

    Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures. They rest during the day in cracks and crevices before coming out at night. If you’re seeing any cockroaches in your home during the day or before you go turn off the lights at night, there’s likely to be plenty more lurking and running around after dark!

    We’ll talk to you about what you’re seeing and give you an obligation-free quote over the phone.

  • Rats and Mice

    Are you hearing or seeing physical evidence of rats and mice?

    Rats and mice are not only highly infectious creatures, they are also prolific breeders. Eradicating them is crucial before they contaminate your food, spread disease and damage your electrical wiring.

    We’ll talk to you about what you’re hearing or seeing and give you an obligation-free pest control quote over the phone.

  • Spiders

    Australia has more than 2,400 different species of spiders, and about 50 that are harmful to humans.

    If you’re not sure what spiders you’re seeing or you’re unsure of how big of a problem you really have, then we’ll talk to you about what you’re seeing and give you an obligation-free quote over the phone.

  • Ants

    Ants love to live in communities, so if you’re seeing some ants in and around your home, rest assured there are plenty more nearby.

    We’ll talk to you about what you’re seeing and give you an obligation-free quote over the phone.

  • Bed Bugs

    Often the first sign of bed bugs is spots of blood on your sheets where these pests have pierced your skin to enjoy a meal. Alternatively, you may notice evidence of bed bug droppings.

    Bed bugs bite and they are also prolific breeders. An adult female bed bug can lay between 200 and 500 eggs a year. Bed bugs are nocturnal and spend their days hiding in cracks and crevices in and around your bed before coming out at night.

  • Why should I hire a home pest control service?

    It is possible to get rid of pests by yourself, but hiring a professional pest control team ensures that they’ll be gone for good. Here are a few reasons why you should call us for all your pest control needs:

    • Expertise and Knowledge Professional pest control technicians have extensive knowledge and training in identifying pests, understanding their behaviour and implementing effective control methods. Our team can accurately assess the severity of an infestation and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
    • Customised Solutions We can provide tailored solutions based on the specific pest problem and the unique requirements of your property. We consider factors such as the type of pest, the extent of infestation, the layout of the premises and any specific concerns you may have.
    • Safety and Health Our professional team is trained in the safe handling and application of pest control products to ensure minimal risk to humans, pets and the environment. They can also provide guidance on necessary precautions and post-treatment care.
    • Long-Term Prevention A professional pest control service not only addresses the current infestation but also focuses on preventing future pest problems. We can advise you on pest-proofing your property, implementing preventive measures and scheduling regular maintenance to keep pests at bay.
    • Cost and Time Efficiency While DIY pest control methods may seem cost-effective initially, they can be less efficient and more time-consuming in the long run. Our team at Forensic Pest Control has access to specialised equipment, advanced techniques and professional-grade products that yield better results. Hiring us saves you time, effort and potential expenses of recurring infestations.
  • How do you decide when treatment is needed?

    We follow this systematic approach:

    1. Inspection We examine the affected areas, potential entry points, nesting sites and signs of pest activity.
    2. Assessment Based on the inspection findings, our home pest control team assesses the severity of the infestation and determines the most suitable treatment options. 
    3. Treatment Plan Our team develops a treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of the situation. This plan outlines the recommended treatment methods, products or techniques to be used and any necessary follow-up actions. 
    4. Implementation Our team carries out the necessary procedures. We apply the chosen treatments, set up preventative measures and address any identified vulnerabilities that could contribute to future infestations.
    5. Evaluation and Monitoring After the initial treatment, we monitor the treated areas for any signs of pest activity, conduct follow-up visits if necessary and make adjustments to the treatment plan to ensure long-term control and prevention.

6 Preventive Measures That Can Help You Avoid Pests at Home

Conducting regular home pest inspections is a proactive way to identify and address potential pest issues before they become major problems. Here at Forensic Pest Control, we recommend having a property inspection and general home pest control treatment carried out at least every 6 – 12 months to ensure a pest-free environment for you and your family.

Here’s what you can do to prevent pests from encroaching on your home or property:

Step 1: Start with Exterior Inspection

Begin by examining the exterior of your home. Look for any visible cracks or gaps in the foundation, walls or windows that pests can use as entry points. Check for signs of nests, droppings or chew marks near doors, windows and utility entrances. Trim bushes and trees away from the house to eliminate potential pathways for pests.

Step 2: Inspect Doors and Windows

Thoroughly inspect all doors and windows for gaps, broken seals or damaged screens. These areas are common entry points for pests such as ants, flies and spiders. Ensure all screens are intact and fit tightly, preventing pests from sneaking inside.

Step 3: Assess Indoor Areas

Move indoors and carefully inspect all rooms, paying close attention to areas where food is stored or prepared. Check for signs of pest activity, such as droppings, chewed packaging or gnaw marks on furniture and baseboards. Look for cracks in walls, flooring or ceilings that may serve as hiding spots for pests.

Step 4: Examine Plumbing and Utility Areas

Pests are often attracted to moisture-rich environments, so thoroughly inspect plumbing areas, including under sinks and around pipes. Look for leaks, standing water or dampness that could attract pests like cockroaches or silverfish. Check utility areas, such as the basement or attic, for signs of nesting or damage caused by rodents.

Step 5: Don’t Forget the Garage and Outdoor Spaces

Pests can also find their way into your garage or outdoor spaces. Inspect these areas for any signs of pest activity, including droppings, nests or damage to stored items. Keep the garage clean and clutter-free to minimise hiding spots for pests.

Step 6: Ensure That Pests Have Nowhere to Go 

Seal any cracks or gaps found during the inspection, install door sweeps and repair damaged screens. Keep food stored in airtight containers, promptly clean up spills and maintain proper sanitation in and around your home.

I was looking for a solution to evict the dozen pigeons roosting under my solar panels, they were making a constant mess including building a massive nest. I came across Forensic Pest control via their website and found dealing with the team a real pleasure, the team was punctual and efficient. Right from the start dealing with Janelle kept me up to date and then to Chris and the team, they are really professional and take their business seriously. Highly recommended.
