Can you treat sheds and outbuildings, not just the house?

Yes. Northern Rock Pest Control services the Darwin rural area and wider Top End, including Howard Springs, Humpty Doo, Coolalinga, Berry Springs and the Litchfield area. Northern Rock has covered rural NT properties since 2008 and is set up to travel with a six-truck fleet.

Rural pest control is priced the same way as everywhere else, with the price confirmed before any work starts. Rural jobs may include a small travel and access charge, and remote blocks are quoted individually, so you always know the cost before booking. Current prices are listed on the Northern Rock pricing page.

Northern Rock services the greater Darwin rural area as standard, and travels further out to places such as Batchelor, Adelaide River, Dundee Beach and the Cox Peninsula on a custom quote. Call (08) 8931 2254 to confirm coverage for your address.

Generally yes. Rural blocks that back onto bushland face constant subterranean termite pressure, and sheds, decks and fence lines are often affected before the house. Northern Rock recommends a regular whole-property termite inspection for rural Top End properties.

Rats and mice are among the most common pests on Top End rural properties, drawn by feed sheds, water tanks and open ground, especially through the dry season. Subterranean termites and mosquitoes are also major concerns. Northern Rock treats all of these across rural NT.
