In Sydney’s Inner West, pest control isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your investment, your reputation, and the well-being of your guests and tenants. At Inner West Pest Control, we specialise in discreet, effective solutions for two of the most persistent pest problems facing property owners today: bed bug infestations in short-term accommodation and termite threats to buildings.
Bed Bugs in Short-Stay Accommodation
With international and domestic travel well and truly back, bed bugs have become an increasing concern across short-term rentals, hotel chains, and backpacker hostels. These tiny hitchhikers can travel on clothing and luggage, quickly spreading from guest to guest and room to room. Even spotless, high-end venues are not immune.
Why it’s a serious problem:
Bed bugs can cause itchy bites and disrupted sleep, leaving guests distressed.
Infestations can seriously damage your online reputation, especially on review platforms.
DIY treatment methods often lead to recurring outbreaks, making the issue worse over time.
How Inner West Pest Control can help:
At Inner West Pest Control, we provide:
Discreet and comprehensive inspections using professional detection tools.
Targeted heat and chemical treatments that eliminate both adult bed bugs and their eggs.
Flexible service hours to minimise disruption to your guests or business.
Ongoing monitoring and prevention plans tailored to accommodation providers.
Whether you operate a boutique Airbnb or a large hotel chain, we tailor our bed bug solutions to suit your operations and compliance needs.
Termite Baiting Systems: Sentricon and Exterra
While bed bugs affect your guests, termites threaten the structural integrity of your property. Termites often go unnoticed until the damage is extensive—and expensive. Fortunately, modern baiting systems provide a safe, non-invasive way to eliminate colonies and protect your investment long-term.
Our preferred systems:
Sentricon® Always Active™
This system uses bait stations installed around your property, containing a durable and highly palatable active ingredient that termites consume and share with the colony. It eliminates the source of the problem—quietly and efficiently.
Exterra® Termite Interception and Baiting System
Exterra creates a Termite Interception Zone™ around your structure, luring termites into in-ground stations before they reach the building. The REQUIEM® bait used is both highly effective and environmentally friendly.
Why these systems are effective:
Non-invasive installation—no trenching or drilling required, making it ideal for established gardens or heritage homes.
Targets and eliminates entire colonies, not just individual termites.
Safe for children, pets and the surrounding environment.
How Inner West Pest Control can help:
As authorised installers of both Sentricon and Exterra systems, we offer:
Thorough on-site termite inspections and detailed reporting.
Customised installation plans based on your building and surrounding landscape.
Scheduled monitoring and maintenance for continuous protection.

We regularly assist homeowners, strata managers, builders, and real estate professionals throughout the Inner West.
