The Pest Problem in New Lambton Heights
Blackbutt's bushland runs through the middle of this suburb rather than around its edge, so reserve-frontage pressure applies to a large share of homes. That means native cockroaches, ants and spiders arriving continuously, possums using roof spaces and fence lines as travel routes, and rats following the walking tracks and drainage lines. The terrain adds the second problem: these blocks slope, so retaining walls and cut-in lower levels hold damp soil against the structure, and timber decks and stairs are exposed on the downhill side. Damp, exposed timber plus continuous termite supply from the bush is a combination worth inspecting every year.

Understanding New Lambton Heights's Conditions
Reserve-frontage properties get boundary treatment plus monitoring along the fence line, and we check retaining walls, deck footings and stair stringers at every inspection because that is where the moisture and the exposed timber meet. Roof voids are inspected where access allows, since possum entry usually starts at a damaged tile or barge board.
