Why Pest Control Matters in Real Estate & Strata Management
Real estate and strata properties in VIC and NSW, from busy urban complexes to suburban developments, face constant pest risks due to shared spaces, high occupancy, and structural vulnerabilities. Pests can damage buildings, disrupt tenants, and lead to costly repairs or legal issues. At Area Specialist Pest Solutions, we deliver proactive pest management to ensure your properties remain safe, habitable, and regulation-ready.
-
Property Value: Pests like termites erode structural integrity, reducing market worth.
-
Tenant Satisfaction: Infestations drive complaints and vacancies, harming your reputation.
-
Compliance: VIC and NSW laws mandate pest control for health and safety.
Common Pests in Real Estate & Strata Properties
Strata and real estate properties in VIC and NSW face unique pest challenges due to dense living and shared spaces. Here are the most common pests:
-
Termites: Silent destroyers of timber frames, a major threat to property value.
-
Rodents: Rats and mice nest in basements and bins, spreading disease and damaging wiring.
-
Cockroaches: Thrive in warm, cluttered areas like kitchens and stairwells, contaminating surfaces.
-
Ants: Invade via common areas, targeting food in units or communal spaces.
Our team tackles these pests with precision, keeping your properties secure and tenant-friendly.

Government Regulations & Compliance in VIC and NSW
In Victoria, the Public Health and Wellbeing Regulations 2019 require property owners and managers to prevent pest infestations in multi-occupancy buildings, including strata properties, to protect public health. Local councils enforce these rules, often inspecting common areas. In New South Wales, the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 assigns pest control in common areas (e.g., hallways, gardens) to the owners corporation, while individual lot owners handle their units unless by-laws state otherwise. The Public Health Act 2010 (NSW) further mandates pest-free conditions to avoid health risks, with oversight from NSW Health.
For real estate and strata, compliance often ties to maintaining habitable conditions under tenancy laws (e.g., Residential Tenancies Act 2010 NSW and Residential Tenancies Act 1997 VIC), where landlords must address pre-existing pest issues. As a licensed pest control company, Area Specialist Pest Solutions ensures your properties meet these standards. We provide certificates and reports, supporting strata managers and real estate agents during audits or tenancy disputes in VIC and NSW.
