Pest control in Berry
Berry is a country town on the northern edge of the Shoalhaven, surrounded by farmland and rural-residential blocks. Older homes in town and sheds, fences and stored timber on acreage outside it all need checking. Rats and mice in sheds and feed stores are common rural jobs.
Termites
Nowra's humid climate and rain spread across the year keep soil moist, which suits subterranean termites. Have the home inspected regularly and check for mud tubes, hollow timber and damp areas. Read the Nowra termite guide and what to expect from an inspection.
Licensing
In NSW, anyone who applies pesticides for a fee or reward needs a pest management technician licence from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Termite and other timber pest treatments need a timber pest management technician licence. Licences are held by individual technicians and are listed on the EPA's public register. See how to check a licence.
