Adam was very professional and the results are amazing. Highly recommend this service to anyone looking to get a pest control.
Great value for money and highly professional.
6 month service guarantee! Thank you so much.
What sets him apart is his depth of knowledge — he clearly understands the science behind pest control and applies the right solution based on the situation, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. You can tell he has a wide range of tools and experience, and he carefully chooses what works best for long-term results.
Importantly, the treatment is safe for people, which gave me real peace of mind.
Abbas is honest, professional, and genuinely focused on solving the problem properly. Add to that very competitive pricing, and it is an easy decision.

Since the treatment, I’ve noticed a huge improvement—no more pests and great peace of mind. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers.
Highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and effective pest control!
He took the time to explain everything and clearly cares about doing the job properly.
Really appreciate him stepping in and making it right.
What impressed me most was how thorough and calculated he was. You could tell he understands pest behaviour and uses smart tactics to eliminate them effectively. He also took the time to explain what he was doing and why, which gave us a lot of confidence.
On top of that, the service comes with six-month warranty, which gave us a lot of confidence.
Highly recommended
It’s rare to find service providers who are not only skilled at what they do but also genuinely polite, friendly, and transparent. Adam made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. You can tell these are honest guys who take pride in their work and truly care about their customers.
I highly recommend Iconic Pest Solutions and will absolutely continue using their services in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, trustworthy pest control, this is the team to call.
After a week, I asked that the trap be moved to the backyard under the mango tree where I suspect it had been feeding. The morning after it was moved, we had the animal in the cage. I draped a towel over the cage until it was picked up.
Thank you Adam and Jeff.
I also want to thank you for your patience. I know I asked the same questions repeatedly over the past few days, and you always responded kindly, thoroughly, and very quickly.
The whole process of preparation, treatment, and post treatment went so much smoother because of the detailed instructions you gave us. Thank you for that!
Adam took the time to listen to us and understand the problem, then commenced with a treatment through the entire property and outdoors as well as to into the communal areas. He left traps out for us to monitor, and explained to us throughout the process exactly what he was doing and why, along with preventative measures we can take.
Most impressively, Adam took our calls in the following days as we had additional questions, and then proactively reached out a few weeks after to check the progress. We had seen one stray cockroach by the outside door (likely from outside), but Adam still came by again to do a final spray to make sure the problem was eliminated completely.
I don’t often write reviews in this depth, but felt compelled to do so due to the exceptional quality of service we received through the entire process.
Thanks so much Adam , you’re an absolute star !
Complete Pest Control Solutions in Leichhardt
Leichhardt sits about five kilometres west of the CBD on the ridge between Whites Creek and the Hawthorne Canal, and most of what makes it a good place to live also suits pests. The Excelsior Estate streets off Parramatta Road were carved up in the 1880s onto four and five metre frontages, so cottages share walls, share subfloor air and back onto service lanes barely wide enough for a bin. Both of the suburb’s old creeks were straightened and built over last century, leaving low, damp ground through parts of Piperston and West Leichhardt. Add the kitchens along Norton Street, the piazza cafes at the Italian Forum and MarketPlace Leichhardt on the corner of Marion and Flood, and there is steady food, water and shelter within a few hundred metres of most front doors. Pest control in Leichhardt has to be built around that.

Expert Pest Treatments for Leichhardt Homes & Businesses
At the 2021 census Leichhardt was roughly a third terraces, semis and townhouses, a third detached houses and just under a third apartments, and that mix is the whole job here. The Excelsior streets are single-storey attached workers cottages on tight lots. Albert and Seale Streets hold intact Federation rows. Catherine Street runs Victorian Italianate terraces, Edwardian cottages and Californian bungalows in the same block. Most of that stock is timber-framed over a subfloor, with rear lanes at the back.
The commercial side is different work. Cafes, delis, restaurants and takeaways along Norton Street, Marion Street and Parramatta Road all sit under Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2, which requires practicable measures to keep pests out and to get rid of them if they are there. We service food premises around trading hours and leave documentation you can hand to an inspector. Commercial pest control is set up separately from residential work for that reason.
Locations We Serve in Sydney

Protect Your Leichhardt Property with Expert Pest Control
If you have seen something and want it sorted, call and describe what you found, where in the property, and roughly when it started. That is usually enough to tell us whether it is a single visit, an inspection first, or something structural that needs the subfloor opened up. You get the scope and the price before we come out, not after. Call 0415 665 223 or send through the enquiry form.
Comprehensive Pest & Termite Inspections in Leichhardt
Termite Inspections
Regular pest inspections help identify hidden pest activity before infestations become more serious. Our pest inspection services in Leichhardt assess roof voids, storage areas, wall cavities, drainage zones, and outdoor harbourage areas where pests may be active.
Pre Purchase Inspections
Purchasing a property in Leichhardt? Our pre-purchase pest inspections help identify termite risks, timber damage, pest activity, and moisture-related concerns before settlement, helping buyers better understand the overall condition of the property.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging inspections help detect hidden moisture and pest activity inside walls, ceilings, and structural areas that may not be visible during standard inspections. This technology is especially useful for identifying early termite risks and moisture-related pest concerns.
Pest Inspections
Termites often remain hidden inside timber structures, subfloors, flooring, and wall cavities long before visible signs appear. Our termite inspection services in Leichhardt are designed to detect early termite activity and identify conditions increasing the risk of infestation.
Common Pest Problems in Leichhardt Outdoor Areas
Outdoor pressure in Leichhardt comes from the edges. The Hawthorne Canal Reserve and the GreenWay run the length of the western boundary, Whites Creek Lane winds down the eastern side, and Iron Cove sits at the top of the suburb past Leichhardt Park. Damp corners along all three hold mosquitoes and give rodents a clear run into the streets behind them. Closer in, the pressure is your own courtyard: pavers over sand, a shaded side passage, stacked timber against a party wall, a bin alcove in the rear lane. We treat perimeters, eaves, fence lines and paving joints, and point out the storage and drainage habits that are keeping the problem fed.

Our Step-by-Step Pest Control Process
Detailed Property Assessment
Every infestation develops differently depending on the property condition, environmental factors, and pest type involved. Our technicians begin by carefully inspecting pest activity, nesting zones, structural gaps, moisture-prone areas, and access points around the property.
Tailored Pest Treatment Plan
After inspection, we create a customised treatment strategy based on the infestation severity, property layout, and type of pest activity identified. Treatments are carefully selected to suit the specific environmental conditions affecting the property.
Professional Pest Treatment Application
Targeted pest treatments are applied using industry-approved products and modern pest management methods. Treatment areas may include kitchens, drainage zones, roof voids, storage spaces, wall cavities, subfloors, garages, and outdoor harbourage areas.
Ongoing Prevention Recommendations
After treatment, we provide practical recommendations designed to help minimise future pest infestations. Advice may include moisture management, ventilation improvements, rubbish storage guidance, and reducing environmental conditions that commonly attract pests.
Frequently Asked Questions
My Leichhardt terrace has a low subfloor. Can you still inspect it?
Usually yes. Most inner west terraces and workers cottages have a crawl space of 400mm or less, and access is through a vent or a hatch in a rear room. Where the clearance genuinely will not take a technician, we inspect what we can reach, use a moisture meter and thermal imaging on the floor above, and tell you clearly which areas were not accessed rather than reporting the whole subfloor as clear.
I run a cafe near the Italian Forum. How often do we need a service?
It depends on what you handle and what is around you. A coffee-and-pastry site with tight waste control might sit on a quarterly programme. A full kitchen backing onto a shared bin area often needs monthly attention, at least until the pressure drops. Standard 3.2.2 requires you to take all practicable measures against pests, so the sensible test is what your own site actually needs, documented, rather than a fixed interval chosen in advance.
Cockroaches keep coming back in my apartment. Why?
In a block, German cockroaches move between units through wall cavities, plumbing penetrations and shared risers. If your unit is treated and the one next door is not, the population simply reoccupies the space that was cleared. The fix is to treat the affected units together, seal the penetrations under sinks and behind cabinetry, and get the building manager involved for common areas such as the bin room and service ducts.
I am buying a Federation cottage in Leichhardt. What inspection do I need?
For a purchase, ask for a timber pest inspection carried out to AS 4349.3. On stock of that age the things worth finding are subterranean termite activity and damage, borers in seasoned timber, and wood decay from long-term damp under bathrooms and in the subfloor. The report should state what was inspected, what was not accessible, and what conditions on the property make future attack more likely.
Are there really termites this close to the city?
Yes. Termite pressure follows moisture and timber in the ground, not distance from the CBD. Leichhardt has both: reclaimed low ground along the Hawthorne Canal and the buried Whites Creek line, mature street and backyard trees, and a century of garden sleepers, old stumps and fence posts. Blocked or painted-over subfloor vents on older cottages make it worse by keeping the underfloor damp. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to find activity early.
Is treatment safe around children and pets?
The products used are registered with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority and are applied strictly to their label directions, which set the rates, the permitted locations and any re-entry period. We will tell you before the visit what to cover or move, how long to stay out of treated areas, and where baits and stations are placed so they can be kept away from children and animals. Fish tanks and reptile enclosures need particular care.
Rats are getting in from the rear lane. What can actually be done?
Baiting alone will not hold if the lane keeps feeding them. The practical sequence is to reduce the food source first, which usually means bin lids that close and a clean-up of the alcove, then bait and trap in secured stations along the runways, then proof the building. Proofing is the part that lasts: gutter gaps, lifted tiles, weepholes, gaps around service penetrations and any hole at the base of the rear wall.
