🕊️ Pigeons
Pigeons nesting on roofs and under solar panels can be especially challenging to remove, particularly if they’ve been there for a long time. It envolves a deep cleaning and disinfectant. Pigeons are highly attached to their birthplace, which is one reason they were originally introduced to Australia for mail purposes.
🛏️ Bed Bugs
Bed bug treatments require a strict process and code of conduct. To provide relief for our clients, we use vacuuming and steam treatments, achieving a 100% success rate when the procedure is followed correctly.
🪳 German Cockroaches
German cockroaches are our third most difficult pest to treat. Their control involves two treatments, one week apart. If they’ve been reproducing for more than six months, they often spread throughout the entire house, hiding their egg sacs in cracks and crevices, which makes thorough treatment essential.

Non-chemical and prevention-focused approaches play a big role in effective pest control — and they’re what truly set House Care apart in the Adelaide market. Werner Lach
Hi, Werner here

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, I moved to Australia in 2019 with my wife and our three kids, and we quickly fell in love with Adelaide’s community spirit. After 25 years in audiovisual as an editor, camera operator, and television director, we chose Adelaide for quality of life and put our hands to work locally.
When I entered pest control, I saw how big brands often buy out small family businesses and push quotas that rush jobs and disappoint families. House Care Pest Control is our answer. We are family owned, no middleman, no call centers, just a local expert who turns up, listens, and solves the problem.
We protect homes while saving bees. Same day service and free inspections start every job. We focus on prevention and education, not harsh indoor sprays, so treatments are family safe and wildlife friendly. For tough issues like German cockroaches, we use a professional two step process a week apart and guide you through the clean that locks in results. Our exterior barrier carries a six month warranty covering twelve common pests, and our follow up means results guaranteed.
Based in Tea Tree Gully and proudly serving all of Adelaide, we also offer humane possum proofing, bee relocation, solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning, and bird proofing. Honest work, real warranties, and lasting peace of mind.
