Strata Pest Control, Common Property Treatments & Rodent Management
Common property pest control and rodent management for body corporate and strata properties across Brisbane and surrounds. Coordinated access, optional services for residents and clear reporting for managers and committees.
We provide practical recommendations and clear reports to help managers and committees make informed maintenance decisions.
Pest Control for Unit Complexes and Apartment Buildings
Pest Termite Defence is based in Brisbane and owned and operated by Mitchell Pryce. Mitchell's background in body corporate management helps him understand work orders, resident communication and the reporting managers and committees need.
We work with unit blocks, townhouse complexes and apartment buildings, including high-rise buildings. Before the visit, we confirm which areas will be serviced, how we will access them and who will be invoiced. We coordinate with your manager or nominated representative and provide clear records of the work completed, limitations and practical follow-up recommendations.

Body Corporate Pest Services
Common Property Pest Control
Treatment of common property areas including external building perimeters, stairwells, foyers, corridors, basements, car parks, gardens, grounds, bin rooms, bin enclosures, plant rooms and shared service areas.
Annual Termite Inspection Programs
Visual, non-invasive termite inspections of accessible common property areas, with written reporting structured for body corporate committee records and maintenance registers.
Resident Opt-In Pest Control
Coordinated resident opt-in pest control where individual lot owners may book treatment of their own lot during the same visit as the common property service.
Committee & Manager Reporting
Clear written reports with photos where relevant, location details, access limitations, risk observations and practical recommendations for committee records.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
Annual, six-monthly, quarterly or site-specific pest management programs based on pest pressure, site conditions and committee requirements.
Resident Communication Support
Support with resident notification, access instructions and scheduling coordination to reduce the administrative burden on body corporate managers.
Which pests can we help with?
General pest treatments can address cockroaches (excluding German cockroach infestations), common ants, spiders and silverfish in the common property areas or participating individual lots included in your booking.
German cockroaches, wasp nests, flying insects and fire ants are separately assessed and quoted. We confirm the target pests, treatment areas and any follow-up in your quotation.
Rodent programs and termite inspections are separate services, with the work and areas covered confirmed before booking.
Body corporate termite inspections
Our body corporate termite inspection service covers accessible common property and participating individual lots, with a separate report for each inspected lot. The inspection page explains what is included and how access is arranged.
View inspection options, reporting, limitations and quotation detailsCommon property, individual lots and access
Common property areas are confirmed for each service. They may include building perimeters, foyers, stairwells, gardens, bin enclosures, basements, car parks and shared service areas. Lot interiors, garages, courtyards and exclusive-use areas are not automatically included: the work must be authorised, with the areas to be treated and suitable access confirmed beforehand.
We record areas serviced, exclusions and access limitations, with recommendations where further access or follow-up is needed. We can supply a notice for the body corporate to circulate, or work with access arrangements organised by the body corporate.
Property boundaries and maintenance responsibilities depend on the scheme and circumstances. The work order records which services and areas are included. It does not determine legal responsibility. Refer to the scheme documents and Queensland body corporate maintenance guidance where clarification is needed.
Coordinated Resident Opt-In Pest Control
When Pest Termite Defence attends a strata or body corporate property for common property pest control, residents may be offered the option to book pest control for their individual lot during the same visit. This can reduce disruption, improve treatment consistency across the complex and reduce the number of separate contractor visits to the property.
This service is optional and can be coordinated with the body corporate manager, caretaker, onsite manager or committee where suitable. Notices are supplied for the body corporate to circulate, or the body corporate organises access. Payment arrangements depend on the agreement and service. The body corporate may pay, or individual owners may opt in and pay directly. For annual body corporate termite inspections or rodent management programs, contact us to discuss your property.
Need treatment for just your own unit or apartment? See our general pest control service and tell us about your property when enquiring.
Committee & Manager Reporting
After the service, your report records the work completed and practical next steps. Reporting can include:
- Written inspection or treatment report for areas serviced
- Documentation with photos where relevant
- Clear identification of areas treated or inspected
- Access limitations and exclusions clearly stated
- Practical recommendations for identified issues
- Reporting suitable for committee records and maintenance registers
- Summary suitable for AGM or committee documentation where required
Rodent Management for Body Corporate Complexes
Pest Termite Defence provides rodent management programs for body corporate and strata properties, including secured rodent station placement, monitoring, rebaiting and activity notes. Reports can include station observations and recommendations for proofing, vegetation trimming, waste management improvements and access point reduction.
Rodent management programs can be scheduled quarterly or adjusted to suit site conditions and committee requirements.
Rodent Program Includes
- Secured rodent stations
- Regular monitoring and rebaiting
