WHY US
Why Choose Masters Pest Control Sydney for the St George Area?
Choose Masters Pest Control Sydney for trusted local expertise, licensed in-house technicians, and safe, effective pest treatments for homes, families, pets and food-handling environments throughout St George
Local Knowledge of the St George Area
When you’ve spent 40 years treating pests in the St George area, you get pretty familiar with the kinds of properties that pests love. Our team members live in the area, so we understand how high-density unit blocks in Hurstville and Kogarah, waterfront homes along the Georges River, and older brick homes in Bexley and Carlton each shape different pest problems.
The combination of apartments, proximity to water and properties on bushland fringes impacts the type of pests that appear, and where. From Georges River Council to Bayside Council, we’ve got the area covered.
Licensed, Accountable and In-House
When our licensed pest control technician visits your property, you’ll get a full-time employee with full NSW EPA, HACCP, and CM3 licenses and certifications. We’ll never send a subcontractor, and the technician who inspects your property is the very same one who will carry out treatment and any follow-ups. That way, you’ll have a consistent, accountable technician throughout your pest control experience.
Safe for Children, Pets and Food-Handling Environments
At Masters Pest Control Sydney, we know how stressful it can be to get pest treatment done when you want to protect your family, kids, or pets at your property. That’s why we only use low-toxicity products that don’t leave any lingering effects. Child and pet friendly pest control methods are especially important for apartment buildings, due to dense living and shared spaces.
Our pest control methods are also all HACCP-compliant. If you’re a business involved in food handling, such as a restaurant, cafe, or childcare centre, then you can rest easy: you’ll get the pest treatment you need, without having to compromise on safety standards.

OUR SERVICES
Pest Control Services Across the St George Area
At Masters Pest Control Sydney, we have a variety of pest management services designed to suit different pest issues and property types across the St George area. From termites and cockroaches to apartments and commercial properties, we’ve developed targeted services for specific situations. Here are just some of our most requested services.
Termite Inspections and Treatment
Termites are a common threat near Oatley Park, Carss Bush Park, and the Georges River foreshore. They’re also thriving in the older timber-framed homes across Bexley, Carlton, Penshurst, and Mortdale. If you let undetected colonies of termites have their way, they can cause serious, costly damage to your property.
To stop this from happening, we’ll perform a thorough termite inspection at your property. This includes a detailed visual inspection, a physical examination, and the use of thermal imaging cameras where required. Our termite inspections and termite treatments are different from general pest inspections and treatments, as they all require different methods.
If you’re living in a bushland fringe or waterfront home, we recommend annual termite inspections, as these areas are where termite activity is at its highest.
General Pest Control
Our general pest control services cover a wide variety of the most common pests in the St George area, including:
Thanks to the area’s warm, humid summers, these pests tend to be active throughout the year. With the right treatments from us, however, you can keep these unwanted guests away.
If you happen to have recurring issues with the pests covered by our General Pest treatment package within our six-month warranty period, then we’ll return and resolve this pest issue at no extra cost to you. While one or two pests may be seen during this time as they flee across treated areas, it’s time to call us if you’re seeing a lot of them on a regular basis.
Apartment and Strata Pest Control
Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale have some of the densest concentrations of apartments in southern Sydney. This makes it easier for cockroaches, rodents, and other pests to spread between adjoining units via wall cavities and shared plumbing.
Having pest control for your unit will provide you protection from invasive pests, however a coordinated or building-wide treatment is a far better option, to provide pest control protection for all Strata complexes and units within.
As part of our apartment pest control and strata pest control services, we’ll treat common areas, garbage rooms, and basement car parks to prevent pests from returning. We’ll also provide full documentation of our treatments for all of your strata record needs.
Commercial Pest Control
When you’re running an office-based business, restaurant or industrial complex, year-round commercial pest control is a must to ensure compliance. The restaurants, cafes, and other food outlets of Hurstville and Kogarah need consistent pest management programs to pass food safety audits. Offices, retailers, schools, childcare, and medical facilities each require pest control too, as they have a lot of people coming and going, and the potential for pests to move with them.
Thankfully, our team members each hold HACCP and CM3 certifications, so you can be sure that each treatment we carry out is fully compliant with all necessary regulations that apply to your business. To support this, we’ve created scheduled commercial programs to deliver quality pest control to you year-round. This way, you’ll never have to worry about remembering to schedule a visit from us, and you’ll stay well within necessary food and safety standards.
Other Pests We Handle
Besides our specialised pest services, we also offer a range of other pest control programs, including:

COMMON PESTS
Common Pests in the St George Area
St George’s pest pressures aren’t consistent across the entire area. High-density living, proximity to water, bushland reserves, and older housing stock are all related to pest activity.
Cockroaches in Units and Older Homes
Cockroaches are easily the most persistent pest across the St George area, as they breed quickly, love warm and humid kitchens and bathrooms, and are drawn to food-rich environments. This means they love nothing more than to infest unit blocks and older brick homes that are common in the likes of Bexley, Carlton, and similar areas.
Cockroach pest control should be treated as a priority. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also carry a variety of health risks to locals. Cockroaches easily spread bacteria and diseases across food surfaces, so getting on top of them with proper pest management helps keep your property hygienic and everyone inside healthy and safe. German cockroaches often build resistance to DIY pest control, which is why professional treatment is preferred.

Termites Near Bushland and the Georges River
If you live near Oatley Park, Carss Bush Park, and the Georges River foreshore, you probably enjoy the natural bushland and surrounds that they offer. What you probably don’t enjoy is the increased risk of termites that these areas bring. Termite colonies can stay hidden away for years, and if you’re in an older timber-framed home (such as the ones found in Penshurst, Mortdale, and Bexley), then their damage can become devastating. Subterranean termites are especially problematic because they stay active below ground and can go unnoticed for long periods.
Despite their ability to stay hidden, there are some telltale signs of termite activity, including:
- Mud tubes along brick work.
- Soft or hollow-sounding timber.
- Discarded wings near window sills.
If you spot any of these signs of termites, give us a call. We’ll inspect your property and determine the best termite control methods to use for comprehensive termite eradication.

Rodents Near Waterways
When there are reliable food and water sources around, rats and mice aren’t far behind. This is especially true for the Georges River and its foreshore parks, which have plentiful supplies of food and water for these pesky rodents.
As the months get cooler, rodents move indoors to seek warmth, and their activity in your home increases. This is especially apparent in Oatley, Carss Park, Sans Souci, and Blakehurst, which are particularly prone to rats and mice. Combined with common roof and subfloor entry points, rodents can be truly overwhelming to deal with. With our professional rodent control plans, we’ll find their hiding places and quickly remove them to prevent their spread in your property.
Bed Bugs and Fleas in Homes and Rentals
If you’ve rented a home, live in a share house, or own a pet, chances are you’ve encountered bed bugs and fleas. They can be hard to spot, and even harder to remove.
Thankfully, our flea control and bed bug treatments target both adults and eggs. This means you won’t see an infestation rebound weeks later, when eggs typically hatch. By doing this, Masters Pest Control Sydney keeps fleas and bed bugs away in the long term, and not just a quick fix to get rid of visible bugs.

OUR PROCESS
What to Expect During a Pest Treatment
At Masters Pest Control Sydney, we deliver pest management solutions to Sydney homes and businesses with a simple, three-step process.
Step 1
Inspection
A Masters Pest Control Sydney team member conducts an in-depth internal and external pest inspection of your property. They’ll give extra care to roof voids, wall cavities, and subfloors, as these are where many pests love to hide. During this process, they’ll identify the exact species of pest infesting your home, as well as highlight their activity points.
Step 2
Treatments
Our technicians will apply treatments that target the specific type of pest you’re dealing with, taking about 60-90 minutes depending on the size of your property. All of our methods are low-toxicity, so they’re safe for pets and families.
Step 3
Post-treatment
After our technicians have treated your property, they’ll give you prevention advice and guidance on sealing entry points, as well as managing moisture. Any necessary compliance documentation will also be provided, giving an in-depth account of our treatment methods.
For most of our pest control treatments, you won’t have to leave your property at all. Your technician will confirm any re-entry details with you during your booking, as well as on-site.
PRICING
How Much Does Pest Control Cost in the St George Area?
Calculating the cost of pest control in the St George area is impacted by different factors, including:
- Property size
- Pest type
- Severity of infestation
- One-off treatment vs ongoing program
- Commercial vs residential
How Often Should You Get Pest Control?
For most St George area homes, a general pest treatment every 6 to 12 months is enough to remove the most persistent pests. Termite inspections, meanwhile, can be done annually.
If you live near bushland, own a waterfront property, or operate a commercial property, then you’ll likely need more frequent visits from us for compliance. For our general pest treatments, you can take advantage of our six-month warranty; if your pests come back in large numbers during this time, then we’ll also return for a re-treatment at no extra cost.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control in the St George Area
How Much Does a Pest Controller Charge?
Our pest control packages start at $195, although the final cost will depend on the size of your property, the type of pest you're dealing with, and the severity of your infestation. Most pest issues can be quoted over the phone, with no hidden fees. All pricing is confirmed before we start work, so you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.
What Is the Hardest Pest to Get Rid Of?
German cockroaches and bed bugs are considered by many to be the most challenging pests to get rid of, with infestations often requiring specialist repeat-cycle service. They both breed quickly and are excellent at hiding in cavities. Professional treatments are the most effective option in Australia, and far superior to any DIY pest control methods
For the most destructive pest, look no further than termites. Their love of chewing through wooden beams and other housing elements means they can cause significant and costly structural damage, and should be dealt with before causing major problems.
What Is a Termite's Worst Enemy?
A termite's worst enemy is early detection and professional treatment. Our termite control methods include a variety of chemical barriers and baiting systems. Installed by our licensed technicians, these techniques stop termite colonies in their tracks.
Can I Stay in My Home During and After Treatment?
Our technicians use targeted, low-toxicity treatments instead of fumigating your whole house, so you'll be able to stay in your home in most cases. The methods we use are all safe for children and pets, so you won't have to worry about any lasting effects. Your Masters Pest Control Sydney technician will walk you through any re-entry instructions during your booking and while on-site, so you'll always be kept safe and informed.
What Is the Most Common Pest in the St George Area?
The most commonly treated pests in the St George area are German cockroaches, thanks largely to the many apartment and unit complexes. Ants, spiders, and termites are also common menaces, especially around bushland and the Georges River.
Do Local Councils Do Pest Control?
Local councils, such as Georges River and Bayside Councils, take care of pests in public areas only. All pest management in private homes and businesses is the responsibility of the owner or tenant/resident. To handle pests in these situations, the safest option is one of our pest specialists. All of our technicians are fully licensed and certified, so you'll be getting a safe pair of hands when you call us.
How Long Does a Pest Control Treatment Take?
Pest control treatments typically take 60 to 90 minutes and vary based on your property's size. Termite inspections, on the other hand, usually take between 60 and 120 minutes, as a thorough examination of structural timbers and voids is required.
Is Pest Control Safe for Children and Pets?
Yes, it is. Each Masters Pest Control Sydney technician uses low-toxicity treatments that are safe for children and pets. Your technician will inform you of any precautions you need to take on the day of treatment.
