Pest management in Landsdale, where market gardens became estates.
Landsdale went from market gardens and rural lots to slab-on-ground estates from the late 1990s, with lakes and walking trails through Landsdale Gardens and the Gnangara pine country to the north. New homes, wet ground and bush edges all pull in a different pest.

Landsdale is one of the newer suburbs we service. Until the late 1990s it was market gardens, poultry farms and small rural holdings, and it still has a working light-industrial pocket and a few large lots in the north. The estates that replaced the gardens are almost all slab-on-ground double brick or framed homes with tiled or Colorbond roofs, paved to the slab edge, with alfresco areas and driveways covering the perimeter. The ground is grey Bassendean sand over a shallow water table fed by the Gnangara Mound, which is why the market gardens were here. That water table is why Landsdale Gardens has lakes, and why the low-lying streets stay damp long after the higher suburbs have dried out.
Warradale Park and Broadview Park sit at the centre around the Landsdale Forum shopping centre, Alexander Drive forms the western edge, Hepburn Avenue the south and Gnangara Road the north, with the pine plantation and Lake Gnangara beyond it. The constructed lakes and the wetland pockets are mosquito habitat from spring onwards, and the pines and bush to the north keep rats, native cockroaches and huntsmen coming. New estates have their own termite pattern: a management system was installed at construction, but paving, garden beds and retic penetrations bridge it within a few years, and every new subdivision disturbs the colonies that were already in the ground.
The Landsdale pest short-list.
Termites
Slab-on-ground homes whose construction-stage systems have been bridged by paving and gardens, on damp sand with bush to the north. Inspections to AS 4349.3, perimeter systems to AS 3660.2 with slab-edge and penetration treatments. Termite inspection.
Coastal brown ants
Estate paving is ideal habitat. Super-colonies under driveways, alfresco slabs and retaining walls, treated at colony level with slow-acting non-repellent products and baits, applied to label. Ant management.
Rats and mice
The pines and bush along Gnangara Road, the light-industrial area and the shopping centre bins. Baiting in tamper-resistant stations to label and proofing of eaves, gable vents and garage door seals. Rodent management.
Mosquitoes
The lakes at Landsdale Gardens and the damp low ground in spring and early summer. Larval habitat checks on the property, a barrier treatment of resting vegetation, APVMA-registered and applied to label. Mosquito management.
This season in Landsdale.
Spring in Landsdale is coastal brown ants along the driveway and alfresco paving first, then mosquitoes building on the streets nearest the lakes as the days warm. Redbacks move back into retic boxes and under outdoor furniture. Homes now fifteen to twenty-five years old are past the life of their original termite system, so an inspection before the November flights is worth booking.
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.

What it typically comes to in Landsdale.

Newer slab-on-ground homes are quicker to treat inside, so general pest jobs tend to sit at the lower end; termite work is quoted on perimeter length and how much of it is paved. Every job is quoted itemised in writing before we start, with no call-out fee and no deposit. Full investment guide.

About ten minutes from Warwick along Warwick Road and Alexander Drive. Same-day for active pests is usually possible.
My Landsdale home is only twenty years old. Do I need a termite inspection?
Yes. The system installed at construction has a finite life and is often bridged by later paving, garden beds and retic penetrations. The neighbouring bush and every new stage of subdivision pushes disturbed colonies onto established homes. An inspection to AS 4349.3 every twelve months, and a perimeter system to AS 3660.2 once the original has lapsed.
Why are ants so bad in the Landsdale estates?
Coastal brown ants love warm sand under continuous paving. They form linked super-colonies with many queens under driveways and slabs across several properties. Repellent sprays split them; slow-acting non-repellent products and baits, APVMA-registered and applied to label, collapse them. Read more.
We get mosquitoes near the Landsdale lakes. What can you do?
We check the property for breeding sites first, then apply a barrier treatment to the vegetation and shaded surfaces where adult mosquitoes rest, APVMA-registered and applied to label. It reduces numbers around the house for several weeks and is timed for spring and early summer when the lakes are full.
What does a general pest treatment in Landsdale involve?
Internal and external treatment for spiders, cockroaches and ants with low-odour non-staining products indoors, APVMA-registered and applied to label. A typical three-bedroom home, internal and external, sits in the $250 to $350 range. Every job is quoted itemised in writing. See the investment guide.
