Pest Control in Every Corner of Melbourne
We split Greater Melbourne into nine service areas, each with technicians who work there every day. Every area has its own mix of housing, bushland, water and weather, and so its own pest problems. Pick your area to see what we deal with there, or go straight to your suburb in the list further down.
Every job starts with an inspection. Our technicians find where the pest is living and how it got in, give you an upfront price, then treat the source. You know the cost before any work starts, and there are no hidden fees after it is done.

Sound Familiar? What Melbourne Residents Search For
These are the problems people type into Google at 2am. If one of them is yours, here is what it usually means and who to call.
"Thumping and scratching in my roof at night"
Heavy thuds after dark usually mean a brushtail possum. Light, fast scurrying is more often rats. Both get into Melbourne roofs through gaps under tiles and broken eaves.
Possum removal Melbourne"Droppings in the pantry and chewed packets"
Mice droppings are rice-sized; rat droppings are larger and darker. Both carry health hazards and both chew wiring, which is a fire risk in older Melbourne homes.
Rat and mouse control Melbourne"Small brown cockroaches in the kitchen"
That is the German cockroach, the one that breeds fastest indoors. Spraying what you can see rarely reaches the nest behind the fridge or dishwasher.
Cockroach control Melbourne"Mud tubes on the wall or soft skirting boards"
Mud leads up a stump or brick wall are a classic sign of subterranean termites. Do not break them open. Book an inspection so the colony can be traced.
Termite inspection Melbourne"Wasps coming out of a hole in the lawn"
European wasps often nest underground or in wall cavities. They defend the nest in numbers, so keep children and pets away and call a technician.
Wasp removal Melbourne"A swarm of bees on my fence"
Spring is swarming season in Melbourne. A swarm often moves on within a day, but if bees start entering a wall or roof, it is becoming a hive.
Bee removal Melbourne"A terrible smell coming from the wall"
A rat or possum that died in a wall or ceiling cavity. The smell gets worse for days. We locate it, remove it and deodorise the area.
Dead animal removal Melbourne"Ants everywhere after the rain"
Heavy Melbourne downpours flood ant nests and push whole colonies indoors. Baiting the trail back to the nest works better than surface spray.
Ant control MelbourneWhat Each Melbourne Area Deals With
Bayside, bushland, inner city or new estate: where you live shapes the pests you get. Here is what our technicians see most in each area.
14 suburbs
Inner East Melbourne
The tree canopy and creek reserves support large numbers of possums, which move into roof spaces through gaps in old tiles. Leafy, damp gardens suit termites, and European wasps build big nests in established gardens through summer and autumn.
Pest control Inner East Melbourne28 suburbs
Inner Melbourne
Restaurant strips and laneways keep rat and cockroach numbers high in Inner Melbourne, and terraces let pests move along whole rows of homes. Possums travel along street trees and roofs, and creek corridors bring rodents close to homes.
Pest control Inner Melbourne31 suburbs
Inner South Melbourne
Mature gardens and street trees support large possum numbers, and the sandy bayside soil suits ants and termites. European wasps build nests in established gardens, and rats live along the foreshore and around the shopping strips.
Pest control Inner South Melbourne29 suburbs
Mornington Peninsula
Coastal bushland brings possums, rats and spiders close to homes, and sandy soil suits ants and termites. Holiday homes left empty for weeks give rodents and wasps time to settle in before anyone notices.
Pest control Mornington Peninsula30 suburbs
North East Melbourne
Bushland around Eltham and Greensborough brings possums, termites and spiders close to homes. Creek corridors carry rats into nearby streets, and farmland on the edge of the growth area brings mice into new estates.
Pest control North East Melbourne33 suburbs
North West Melbourne
Creek corridors carry rats into nearby streets, and open grassland around the growth area brings mice into new homes. Older weatherboard homes with timber floors suit termites and rodents.
Pest control North West Melbourne34 suburbs
Outer East Melbourne
Higher rainfall at the foot of the Dandenongs keeps gardens damp, which suits termites. Bushland and tall trees bring possums onto roofs, and European wasps are very common in the area.
Pest control Outer East Melbourne35 suburbs
South East Melbourne
Busy food strips in Springvale, Dandenong and Oakleigh keep cockroach and rat numbers up, and the new estates on the urban edge see mice moving in from farmland. Ferntree Gully sits at the foot of the Dandenongs, with higher termite and possum activity.
Pest control South East Melbourne54 suburbs
West Melbourne
Open farmland and grassland on the urban edge bring mice into the new estates, and industrial areas, the port and the Maribyrnong River support rats. Older homes near the river have timber floors that suit termites and rodents.
Pest control West MelbournePest Calendar for Melbourne: What to Expect Each Season
Bookings in Melbourne follow the weather. Here is when each pest peaks, so you can treat before the problem does.
Spring · Sep to Nov
Swarms and flying termites
Bees swarm, termite alates fly on warm humid evenings, ants rebuild and spiders become active. Possums are nesting with young in roof spaces.
Summer · Dec to Feb
Peak season for crawling pests
Hot days above 35°C push cockroaches, ants and spiders to breed fast. European wasp nests grow all summer.
Autumn · Mar to May
Wasps peak, rodents move in
Wasp nests are at their biggest and most defensive. As nights cool, rats and mice start looking for warm roof spaces and wall cavities.
Winter · Jun to Aug
Rodents and possums indoors
Cold, wet nights make Melbourne roofs prime real estate. Rodent and possum calls peak, and damp subfloors suit termites in the outer suburbs.

Pest Control Melbourne FAQs
Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?
All of Greater Melbourne, split into 9 service areas and 288 suburbs. Every area and suburb is listed on this page.
My suburb is not listed. Can you still help?
Call us. The list shows the suburbs with their own page, and our technicians often work in the streets around them. We will tell you straight away whether we can come and when.
Do you charge more for outer suburbs?
No travel surprises. The technician inspects first and gives you an upfront price before any work starts, wherever you are, with no hidden costs.
Is same day service available in every area?
Same day service is available across our 288 Melbourne suburbs on most days, and for urgent jobs a technician can often be onsite in 60 minutes. Our phones are answered 24/7.
Why do pests differ from one area of Melbourne to another?
Housing, bushland, water and weather change from area to area. Older homes with timber floors suit termites and rodents, bushland brings possums and spiders, and new estates on cleared land see ants, mice and termites move in. Each area page explains what we see most there.
Do you service businesses in every area?
Yes. We look after cafes, restaurants, offices, shops, warehouses and strata buildings across Melbourne, with visits scheduled outside trading hours where needed.
The Best Time to Book Was Last Month. The Next Best Time Is Today.
Every week a pest problem is left alone, it grows. One pair of mice can become dozens by the end of a season, and a cockroach nest doubles fast in a Melbourne summer.
Proven results, an upfront price and a dedicated professional at your door, often the same day.
