Pest Control in Woodberry: The Overview
Woodberry is a small, tightly built suburb of mid-century fibro and weatherboard homes on flat ground near the river and the rail line. The soil stays wet, the housing is old enough to have been extended several times, and several streets have been through flooding.

The Pest Problem in Woodberry
Water is the constant constraint. On flat ground near the river, subfloor soil does not drain and stays damp for most of the year, which is the definition of termite habitat. The housing stock — fibro and weatherboard on brick piers, with bathrooms, laundries and rear extensions added over decades — gives termites concealed routes and gives cockroaches and silverfish warm, damp voids. After flooding, rodent populations redistribute and cockroach activity surges in wet wall cavities, and sheds and outbuildings hold water and debris that keep both around. Pre-1980s fibro also means treatments have to avoid cutting or drilling sheeting.
Understanding Woodberry's Conditions
We inspect the subfloor and the drainage around the block before treating, because a barrier in permanently wet soil will not perform. Rodent work covers sheds, outbuildings and the route along the rail line, and cockroach treatment targets wet areas and wall cavities. Where fibro is present we plan around intact sheeting rather than through it.
