Why you need strata pest control

Common property, such as foyers, lifts, fences, gardens and swimming pools are areas of shared responsibility. If processes aren’t put in place, these areas can either become neglected, or one person reluctantly takes on the responsibility. At best, this person does a good job, until a holiday or sickness comes along. At worst, they do a quick fix, and these areas deteriorate.

Cockroaches are attracted to damp, unclean areas. Although these pests are shy, they’re visible once their numbers reach a threshold. A cockroach infestation will invade private units and apartments. Treating a private area will only be a short-term fix if the common areas are not treated as well.

Another pest we often find around strata buildings is rodents. Rats and mice can spread diseases in areas of high-density living.

But the real threat to apartments, units and other strata buildings is termites.

If you suspect pests, don’t disturb them. Call 1300 270 019 immediately. Speak to our experts and book a pest inspection today.

Who is responsible for strata pest control?

Strata laws can differ slightly between states. But generally, the landlord is responsible for the treatment if pests are present before a tenant moves in. If pests have developed since the tenant has moved in, it’s the landlord’s responsibility.

The body corporate is responsible for any pest inspection, prevention and treatment work on common property.

Ways to reduce the risk of pests in your strata building

Our pest technician may recommend ways to decrease the likelihood of pests in your building. These could include

  • Make doors to common areas, such as stairwells and halls close automatically
  • Remove any decaying timber or cardboard boxes that could be nesting sites
  • Make sure lids fit well on bins and empty them when full
  • Keep common areas clean and tidy
  • Repair cracks or damage where pests can enter
  • Fix water leaks and keep soil and timber away from the building perimeter, which could attract termites

Who is responsible for termites in a strata complex?

Many units and apartments in Australia are surrounded by gum trees. So regular termite inspections are essential, even in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne.

Termites affect the structure of the building, which is common property. Even if termites are found in an individual apartment, the body corporate is responsible for the treatment.

Pests and termites don’t only attack older homes. Flick can advise you on which treatment plan is best for your specific building, location, and budget.

Body Corporate Pest Control

Depending on the strata or body corporate residential arrangement, it can be up to residents to organise pest control for their own homes. However, pest control in common areas such as gardens, pool areas, foyers, hallways and basements is usually the body corporate manager’s responsibility. If you’re responsible for running a body corporate, Flick Pest Control can help tailor a pest control program to suit the needs and requirements of your complex.
