Pest Control Specialists in Cherrybrook
Cherrybrook was built through the late 1970s and 1980s on large blocks, and forty years on those blocks are densely planted.
The housing is substantial detached brick, much of it since extended, and the gardens are mature. That combination gives us a specific set of problems: established root systems and stumps close to houses, canopy contact with roofs, heavy gutter loads, and additions that created junctions nobody inspected at the time.
Our pest and termite management Sydney service covers Cherrybrook and the surrounding Hills District.

Construction-stage treatment from the late 1970s and 1980s has passed its effective life by decades, and documentation rarely survived.
Established beds, retaining walls, paving and mature planting sit against brickwork, covering the inspection zone at the slab edge or the subfloor vents.
Mature trees over roofs give rodents and possums access and fill gutters with leaf litter that holds moisture against the structure.
Homes of this size and age have typically been extended. Junctions between old and new structure are a common concealed entry route.
Large gardens mean sleepers, edging, pergolas, sheds and pool surrounds, much of it timber in soil near the house.
Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or looking to prevent future pest problems, we offer tailored treatments to suit Cherrybrook homes and businesses.
Our comprehensive termite inspections follow Australian Standards AS 3660 and AS 4349.3. We inspect your home as well as outdoor timber structures such as decks, pergolas, retaining walls, sheds, fences and garden sleepers. Where needed, we also use thermal imaging and moisture meters to help detect hidden termite activity.
No two termite infestations are the same. Depending on your property and the level of activity, we may recommend a chemical barrier, termite baiting system, monitoring stations, or a combination of treatments to provide long-term protection.
Rats and mice often find their way into roof spaces through overhanging trees, gaps in roofing or wall cavities. We don't just remove the rodents—we identify how they're getting in, seal entry points where possible, and recommend ways to help prevent them from returning.
From cockroaches and ants to spiders, silverfish, fleas, wasps, pantry pests and carpet beetles, we treat the pests commonly found in Cherrybrook homes. Every treatment is tailored to the type of pest and your property's needs.
If possums have taken up residence in your roof, we provide humane removal in line with NSW regulations. Once they're out, we'll identify and seal entry points to help stop them coming back.
We're trained in bird biology and nesting behaviour, giving us the knowledge to provide practical, long-term bird control solutions. Every service is completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Effective pest control should never come at the expense of your family's safety. Our ISO 14001 Environmental Management and AS/NZS 4801 OHS certifications reflect our commitment to safe work practices. We use proven treatments that are safe for children and pets once dry while delivering long-lasting protection for your property.
We begin with a quick chat about what you've noticed. Whether it's scratching sounds in the roof, termite activity, or possums visiting at night, the more we know, the better prepared we are before we arrive.
Our technician carries out a thorough inspection of your property, looking for signs of pest activity, nesting areas, moisture issues and entry points. For Cherrybrook homes near bushland reserves, we also pay close attention to roof voids, overhanging trees and outdoor timber structures that often attract pests.
Every treatment is carefully planned around your property's layout, surrounding landscape, the pest involved and how it's accessing your home. For example, a possum entering through roof tiles requires a very different approach from termites attacking a timber retaining wall or ants nesting under paving.
Our experience has taught us how different pests live, feed and move around a property. We know where rodents travel, where termites are most likely to spread, and how possums repeatedly use the same access points. Targeting the source instead of just the visible activity helps deliver more effective, long-lasting results.
Once the treatment is complete, we'll walk you through what we've done and share simple steps to help reduce the risk of future infestations. If your treatment includes a warranty period, we're only a phone call away should the covered pests return.

Great service! Very professional and do a great job. I get them twice a year and think they are fabulous! I even had floors taken up recently as part of a renovation and found their name on a joist so I knew they had crawled all the way to the end of the small space under the floor past all the ducted heating.

A number of pigeons decided that making a home for themselves under my Solar Panels was a really good idea. I didn’t agree given the constant noise they were making and the mess they were creating by building a nest. There was also the issue of the potential damage they could cause to the multiple expensive arrays I have installed on my roof. It took a while to track down a reputable company that offered a professional solution at a fair price. The work required was completed on time to a high standard. I would highly recommend Forensic Pest Services.

Common Questions
With a full termite inspection including the garden structures. On a home of that age with mature landscaping, the risk is real and the inspection zone is usually obscured.
Ideally not right against it. Soil and mulch against brickwork covers the slab edge or vents, holds moisture and gives termites a concealed route up.
Timber in ground contact near the house is worth inspecting, yes. Pool surrounds, sleepers and edging are all part of what we look at.
Cherrybrook’s leafy streets, established gardens and mature tree cover make it a suburb where pests find plenty of opportunity, from moisture drawn in around dense vegetation to activity along the many local reserves bordering residential blocks. Whether your home dates back to the original 1959 subdivision or one of the later estates built through the 1980s, a proper inspection is the only way to know what’s really going on. Get in touch with Forensic Pest Management Services and we’ll have a technician out to sort it properly.
