What are the most common pests in Darwin homes?

Cockroaches and ants are the most common pests in Darwin homes, and pressure peaks through the Build-Up and wet season. Subterranean termites are the most serious threat because of the structural damage they cause. Northern Rock treats all of these, plus rats, mosquitoes, spiders, fleas and ticks, across Darwin.
