Pest control called to SAS Australia contestant Roxy Jacenko’s $6.5m Vaucluse home

PR maven Roxy Jacenko had all the neighbours talking after they spotted a pest control truck outside her $6.5 million Vaucluse home last week.

Pest control were called to SAS Australia star Roxy Jacenko’s $6.5 million Vaucluse home last week.

Neighbours spotted a Flick truck, which specialises in termite solutions, arriving at the sprawling property, presumably in response to an infestation.

However, the PR maven told Confidential that she was simply trying to prevent creepy-crawlies from infesting her lavish home.

Roxy Jacenko and her husband Oliver Curtis paid $6.5m for harbourside home.

“We don’t have any [pests]. I just don’t want to risk having any especially given that I have young children... One issue which really bothers me is Spiders. Nothing worse than walking through a web!” Jacenko said.

She purchased the six-bedroom property through a Ray White auction two years ago.

The three-storey home boasts five bathrooms, a luxury swimming pool and sweeping harbour views.

What began as a difficult year went from bad to worse when she fractured her pelvis and hip while horseriding, six weeks before she was scheduled to film Channel 7’s gruelling reality TV show SAS Australia.

“My health comes first and foremost for me,” she said.
