Sylvania Waters was built by LJ Hooker in the 1960s, mostly on land reclaimed from Gwawley Bay. The mangroves were cleared so the homes could have water frontages with boating facilities. That makes pest control in Sylvania Waters different from most of the Shire. Many yards end in a seawall, a jetty or a pontoon instead of a back fence. Lights over the water draw insects at night, so spiders web the jetty rails, eaves and boat covers. Rats use the seawall and the gaps under decks and boat sheds to move between properties. A treatment here covers the waterfront as well as the house.
How we work
Our pest control process in Sylvania Waters
Here is how a pest control visit in Sylvania Waters works, urgent or booked ahead.
2
Treatment plan
From what the inspection finds, you'll get a plan that says which pests, which areas and what will be used. Anything near the water is planned with the product label in mind.
3
Application
The treatment is applied as planned, following the label directions for use near waterways. You'll be told how long to keep children and pets off treated areas.
4
Follow-up
If pests are still showing up once the treatment has had time to work, tell us and we'll book a follow up check.
Check the boat before the season starts
A boat that has sat under a cover or in a shed over winter is an easy place for pests to settle. Before you take it out, look under the cover and in the storage lockers, the cabin and around the trailer for webs, egg sacs, cockroaches and droppings. Rats will chew wiring, cushions and life jackets. If you find droppings or chewed material, clean it out wearing gloves and check the boat shed or garage it came from. If you want the shed and jetty treated as well, mention the boat when you book so the technician knows to look at it.

FAQ
Sylvania Waters pest control questions
Straight answers on pest control in Sylvania Waters.
Do you provide pest control in Sylvania Waters? ▼
Yes. We treat homes right across Sylvania Waters, including jetties, pontoons and boat sheds.
Can you come out urgently in Sylvania Waters? ▼
Yes. Tell us what you're seeing, for example rats under the deck or a wasp nest in the boat shed, and we'll give you the earliest time a technician is free.
How much does pest control cost in Sylvania Waters? ▼
It depends on the size of the house and what else needs treating. A house with a jetty, pontoon and boat shed takes longer than the house alone. Tell us what you'd like covered and we'll quote.
Can you treat the jetty, pontoon and boat shed? ▼
Yes. These are inspected and treated as part of the visit if you ask. Work near the water follows the product label, so some products used inside a house are not used over the water.
Why are there so many spiders around my jetty lights? ▼
Because the lights draw insects at night, and spiders build where the food is. Switching to warm coloured globes or using a sensor light cuts the number of insects, which means fewer webs.
How do I keep rats out of the boat shed? ▼
Keep bait, fish scraps and food out of the shed, store cushions and ropes off the floor, and close gaps under the doors. If you're finding droppings or chewing, book a rat treatment.
How often should a Sylvania Waters home be treated? ▼
That depends on how quickly pests come back after a treatment. Waterfront spiders often return sooner than pests inside. A yearly termite inspection is a separate matter and is recommended by the Australian Standard.
Is pest control safe for children and pets? ▼
The main precaution is keeping children and pets off treated surfaces until they're dry, and the technician will say how long. Tell us about fish ponds, aquariums or pet birds when you book.
How can I check a pest controller is licensed in NSW? ▼
Search the technician's name on the NSW EPA's public licence register, or ask to see their photo licence card. Anyone paid to do pest control in NSW needs a licence.
Do you cover suburbs near Sylvania Waters? ▼
Yes. We also work in Sylvania, Taren Point, Miranda and Caringbah. Send us the address if you're not sure.
