Gledswood Hills is brick veneer on slab on compact blocks beside the Gledswood Homestead and Winery, with drainage our technician describes as usually inadequate and garden beds that very often cover the weep holes. Those three facts set the pest list.
Crickets are a problem, in our technician's words, in off the open ground on warm nights. Exterior barrier treatment at the doors and garage, plus brush seals.
Ant trails along slab edges and fresh garden beds, Australian cockroaches in garages, drains and mulch. Perimeter and entry-point treatment handles both.
Garden beds covering weep holes bridge the termite management system a new home was built with. Annual inspection with Termatrac T3i detection, and the slab edge cleared where it can be. Termite inspections.
Redbacks in new fencing, outdoor furniture and letterboxes, black house spiders in window frames and eaves. Harbourage treatment inside and out.
Baiting stations and proofing of roof and garage entry points, placed where pets cannot reach. Rodent control.
Documented programmes for the townhouse complexes and strata schemes on the estate, quoted after a site visit.

Gledswood Hills is the estate beside the Gledswood Homestead and Winery on the Camden side of the corridor, in Camden LGA, and it is one of the suburbs our technician knows most thoroughly, with around seventy jobs there in the last two years. He records brick veneer on standard suburban blocks, subfloors mostly slab, roof voids mixed, soil mixed and drainage usually inadequate.
The thing that marks Gledswood Hills out from Oran Park and Gregory Hills next door, in his words, is that the houses are more compact, closer together. On a compact block a pest problem crosses the fence faster, drainage has less room to work, and the garden beds end up hard against the house.
Garden beds covering weep holes is common, per our technician, and it is the single most important thing to fix on this estate. A buried weep hole bridges the termite management system the house was built with and hides the slab edge from inspection. Clearing it is an afternoon's work.
Houses closer together means ants, cockroaches and rodents move between properties along fences, pavers and shared drainage. We check the boundary lines, not just the walls.
Our technician records drainage on these blocks as usually inadequate. Water sitting against footings keeps soil damp, which is the condition subterranean termites and cockroaches both favour.
Crickets are a problem here, with the heaviest activity on warm nights in late summer and autumn when they come in off the paddocks and parkland that still surround the estate.
Field notes, Mark Coomber, OCG Pest Control technician (NSW EPA Licence 5073726). Around 70 Gledswood Hills jobs in the last 24 months. Housing: brick veneer, standard suburban blocks, subfloor mostly slab, roof void mixed. Weep holes: garden beds covering weep holes is common. Soil: mixed. Drainage: usually inadequate. What you see here that you do not see next door: houses are more compact, closer together. Pests recorded: crickets are a problem; ants and cockroaches all year round.
The difference is simple. We do not spray a skirting board and leave. In Gledswood Hills we clear and check the weep holes, follow the fence lines and look at the drainage, because that is where the activity actually is. Tell us what you've seen and we'll tell you what it costs.
Catherine Field and Cobbitty are booked on the same number. These neighbours have their own pages.
Because a buried weep hole bridges the termite management system the house was built with and hides the slab edge from inspection, and our technician records garden beds covering weep holes as common on this estate. Clearing the bed back so the weep holes and slab edge are visible is an afternoon's work and the single most useful thing a Gledswood Hills homeowner can do.
Yes, our technician records crickets as a problem here, with the heaviest activity on warm nights in late summer and autumn when they come in off the paddocks and parkland around the estate. An exterior barrier treatment at the doors and garage, plus brush seals on the garage door, keeps them out.
Often, yes, because the houses are more compact and closer together than the estates next door, in our technician's words, so ants, cockroaches and rodents move between properties along fences, pavers and shared drainage. We treat the boundary lines as well as the house, and a street of neighbours booking together gets a better result.
