Pest Removal Challenges of Manly

With its close proximity to the first colony in young Australia, and the heavy amounts of foot traffic, Manly has experienced pest removal issues since its inception. Battling both foreign and domestic foes, the scenic suburb has a long history of being a breeding ground for pest interactions. Among its beaches and seaside bluffs, Manly brings a unique set of challenges to the pest removalist.

Its scenic shores, long a vacation or place of relaxation for Sydneysiders, has subsequently bred the establishment of a residential community of considerably size. And like many areas in the city, the pests that are prevalent in Manly are a product of their environment. The developments here, along with the appropriation of many wild lands for residential uses, has meant that termites are prevalent, and simply moved in from the bush. Particularly during times of heavy precipitation – and the last two months have not been short on it – homeowners have reported numerous issues with termite colonies appropriating their homes.

The area, with its heavy traffic and well-trodden beach, is also prone to those pests in the market for a good feed. The excessive amounts of tourist and sightseer action here has meant that there is, and has been for a long time, a large amount of leftover garbage and refuse around the central entertainment district in Manly. This has attracted a strong population of black rats.

It has also served as a beacon for german cockroaches. These pests can be found in abundance both around the restaurant and beach scene, but also amid the adjoining residential areas in the city. Their presence, like in so many other areas in Australia, is tied to the food source.
