Anonymous Service Examples
Real local situations for this service
Anonymous Epping strata roof void and common area case
Multiple residents reported scratching and running noises in roof spaces at night, while large cockroaches were seen around the shared bin room. Common external walls, bin areas, drains and roof void access points were inspected. Rodent control was set up in roof void areas and common-area pest treatment was completed around bin and drainage zones. Residents reported roof noises had stopped within about two weeks, and the bin room showed a clear reduction in cockroach activity after treatment. The strata later moved to an annual maintenance arrangement.

Can strata pest control cover individual units?
It depends on the booking scope and access approval. Common-area treatment is separate from individual unit treatment unless unit access is arranged and included.
Why do pests return in apartment buildings?
Shared walls, service penetrations, bin rooms, garages, gardens and multiple food or moisture sources can allow pests to move or re-enter if the wider conditions remain.
What should a strata manager provide before service?
Provide access details, complaint locations, building maps if available, bin room access, parking notes and any resident communication requirements.
