Melbourne Pest Control
Melbourne, Australia's city of culture and entertainment.
The home of countless music and entertainment festivals, the Eureka Tower, Federation Square, the National Gallery of Victoria and, of course, the MCG.
Melbourne's Pests
Pest control in Melbourne is different than in other major cities around Australia and methods that work somewhere else do not necessarily mean they work here. Melbourne's moderate oceanic climate creates unique pest control issues like:
- termites - despite the common perception that termites are only a problem further north, Melbourne now has mandatory termite protection regulations for new construction.
- wasps - Melbourne's climate is typically not too hot and not too cold. A perfect combination for significant wasp problems throughout spring and summer.
- rodents - Melbourne is the second-most populous city in Australia. Where there are large cities there will be mice and rats and they love to make your home their home in the cooler winter months.

Common Melbourne Pests
Other than the typical Melbourne pests we mentioned earlier, these are the other pests that we commonly treat for in and around Melbourne.
SILVERFISH
We treat the roof void internally. We treat eaves, guttering, downpipes, around windows and door frames, attached pergolas and garages.
Additional treatments around fences, pools rockeries, cubbies, etc. can be added as an additional element quoted by the technician on the day.
ANTS
We try to locate nesting sites close to the house and treat them. We do an external treatment around the base of the house and into the weepholes (if applicable).
We treat the roof void and use gel and baits internally.
COCKROACHES
We treat the roof void, cupboards (using gel) and skirtings internally.
If you have a bad cockroach problem, we ask that you remove everything from the floor and top shelf of built in wardrobes and linen closets.
SPIDERS
We treat the roof void internally. We treat eaves, guttering, downpipes, around windows and door frames, attached pergolas and garages.
Additional treatments around fences, pools rockeries, cubbies, etc. can be added as an additional element quoted by the technician on the day.
POSSUMS
Inspection of the inside (including roof void) and outside of the premises prior to any work being carried out. The proposed treatment methods will be discussed with you to ensure the best pest management outcome.
The normal method of trapping possums is to place traps, which cause no physical harm to the possums, in roof voids, however they may be placed on the roof or on the ground near access points.
Once a possum is caught it must be released on the property or within 50 metres of the property after sunset. For this reason it is important that all entry points be sealed up.
