Pest Control Newcastle: A Homeowner’s Guide to Safe, Effective Treatments

Pest control in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie: common pests, treatment types, safety around children and pets, and how to extend the life of professional treatments. Licensed, family-safe pest management from Custom Dry Pro.

What We Treat

Newcastle’s Most Common Pests

The Hunter’s warm, humid climate makes it a hotspot for ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents and termites. A targeted, year-round treatment plan keeps populations under control rather than reacting to infestations after they’ve taken hold.

Choosing the Right Approach

What Homeowners Can Do

Keeping Treatments Effective

1

Remove food & water

Store food in sealed containers and fix leaky taps to deny pests resources.

2

Block entry points

Seal gaps around pipes and screens to deny access.

3

Keep vegetation back

Trim branches and mulch away from the external wall.

4

Book annual termite checks

Termites cause costly damage — early detection is far cheaper than repair.
