Caroline Springs was built in one go through the late nineties and 2000s: brick homes on slabs, wide streets, lakes and wetlands running through the middle, and Kororoit Creek along the northern edge. Twenty years on the gardens have filled out, the mulch and paving sit hard against the slabs, and the lakes supply insects all year. That is why spiders are the main call. Black house spiders web the big eaves and Colorbond fences of every street near the water, redbacks move into the outdoor furniture, the play equipment and the switchboards, and huntsmen come inside through the garage when the weather turns.
Ants trail off the garden beds and the slab edge into kitchens after spring rain and again in the February heat. Rats and mice live along the creek and the wetlands and move into roof voids and garages every autumn, with the streets backing onto Kororoit Creek and the Ravenhall grasslands the first to notice. European wasps nest in the retaining walls, the sleeper garden beds and the roof voids through summer. We treat all of it across Caroline Springs, Burnside, Taylors Hill, Hillside, Deer Park, Derrimut and Fraser Rise, and we give you the price on the phone before anyone drives out.
