Pest management in Bennett Springs, on the new estates beside Bennett Brook.
Bennett Springs is one of Perth's youngest suburbs, gazetted in 2011 and built out in stages between Tonkin Highway, Reid Highway and Marshall Road, with Whiteman Park bush across the road. New slab homes on low grey sand next to a brook and a regional park bring their own pest pressure.

Almost every home in Bennett Springs is a slab-on-ground build from the late 2000s onward: brick or rendered walls, steel or treated-pine roof framing, alfresco areas poured hard against the slab and paving right to the boundary. The ground is Bassendean grey sand, leached and flat, with the water table close to the surface near Bennett Brook. New homes carry a termite management system under AS 3660.2 from construction, but that system depends on the slab edge staying exposed. Garden beds, retaining walls and paving laid against the brickwork bridge it within a few years, and a brand-new house sits next to the same bush and older stock that has always fed termite colonies here.
Whiteman Park lies directly across Marshall Road, Bennett Brook winds through the suburb on its way from the park to the Swan River, and the Malaga industrial area sits across Tonkin Highway. Bush and brook mean rats, mice, native cockroaches and a steady mosquito load through the warm months; industrial land means well-fed rodents moving into roof spaces when the weather turns. We treat Bennett Springs homes with that in mind: perimeter treatments that respect the slab edge, non-repellent ant work under the paving, and roof-void rodent management that starts with proofing. Bennett Springs Shopping Centre at Beechboro Road and Bridgeman Drive, and Altone Park next door in Beechboro, are the usual reference points when we quote.
The Bennett Springs pest short-list.
Termites
New slabs with bridged edges and heavy colony pressure from Whiteman Park bush. Inspections to AS 4349.3, and management systems reinstated to AS 3660.2 where landscaping has broken the original one. Termite inspections.
Coastal brown ants
Estates built on warm sand with paving on every side are where coastal brown ants do best. Super-colonies under driveways, alfresco slabs and retic boxes need colony-level treatment with a non-repellent product, not a repellent spray.
Rats and mice
Whiteman Park, the Bennett Brook corridor and the Malaga sheds keep the population up. We bait to label, proof the eaves and meter boxes, and check garages where stored goods make easy nesting. Rodent management.
Mosquitoes
Bennett Brook and its drains breed mosquitoes from spring through autumn. We treat resting harbourage around the yard with an APVMA-registered product applied to its label and find the standing water on the property that is adding to the problem. Mosquito management.
This season in Bennett Springs.
September in Bennett Springs means coastal brown ants surfacing along paving joints as the sand warms, the first mosquitoes off Bennett Brook, and rodents still in roof spaces after winter. The estates are young but the termite pressure from Whiteman Park is not, so if your home is more than a few years old and has never been inspected, book one before the November alate flights.
Warmer soil brings coastal brown ants and redbacks out. Good time for a perimeter treatment before summer.
Subterranean termites swarm on warm, humid evenings. Sandy northern-suburb soils and garden timber raise the risk.
German and Australian cockroaches follow warmth and food into kitchens as nights cool.
Rats and mice look for warm voids. Sealing entry points now beats baiting later.

My Bennett Springs home is only a few years old. Do I really need a termite inspection?
Yes, once landscaping has gone in. A new home's termite management system to AS 3660.2 relies on the slab edge staying visible. Paving, garden beds and retaining walls laid against the brickwork give termites a hidden path over it. An inspection to AS 4349.3 checks whether that path exists and what to do about it. Book an inspection.
Why do the ants keep coming back around my alfresco in Bennett Springs?
Because a repellent spray only moves a coastal brown ant colony sideways. The nests sit under the alfresco slab and paving and link into the neighbours' yards. We use a slow-acting non-repellent product and baits, APVMA-registered and applied to label, so the workers carry it back and the colony collapses. Ant management.
Are mosquitoes worse near Bennett Brook?
They are. The brook and the drains that feed it hold water well into summer, and the Whiteman Park wetlands are a short flight away. We treat the shaded resting spots around the house and yard, then walk the property to find pot plant saucers, blocked gutters and retic leaks that are breeding them on site. Read more.
