Pest control services Melbourne homes and businesses rely on
Twenty two services under one roof, from the insect control Melbourne kitchens need to a termite colony under the floor. Unlike most pest control companies Melbourne residents call, we put the price in writing before we start, so pick the pest you are dealing with and we will quote that exact job.
Bed Bug Treatment
Room by room treatment, including the follow up visit bed bugs always need.
Dead Animal Removal
Carcasses found and removed from roofs, walls and subfloors, then deodorised.
Not sure what it is?
Tell us what you are seeing and we will identify it before we quote.
Whole property programs
When it is more than one pest, or you need paperwork for an agent, an auditor or a strata manager.
Melbourne pest controllers who explain before they spray
Most bad pest control experiences start the same way. Someone arrives, sprays the skirting boards, takes the money and leaves you none the wiser. We work the other way round.
Your technician inspects first, shows you what they found, tells you the price and only then starts. You get a written report covering the pest, where it was coming from, what was applied and how long to keep children and pets off treated areas.
Because we are a local Melbourne pest control company, the team that quotes the job is the team that comes back if anything returns.
It works the same way whether you need pest removal Melbourne wide for a one off problem, or the ongoing pest management Melbourne businesses need for their food safety audits.
- Licensed and insured technicians
- Products registered for use in Australia by the APVMA
- Treatment matched to the pest, never a one size fits all spray
What are you actually noticing?
Pests give themselves away long before you see one. Match what you have noticed and we will point you to the right treatment, with a price for it.
Scratching or thumping at night
Light scurrying in the ceiling or walls usually means rats or mice. Heavy thumps and footsteps after dark are more often a possum.
Droppings in cupboards
Small dark pellets in drawers or behind appliances point to mice or cockroaches. Size and shape tell us which one it is.
Mud tubes or hollow timber
Pencil width mud trails on brickwork, or skirting that sounds hollow when tapped, need a termite inspection before anything else.
Itchy bites after sleeping
Bites in lines or small clusters overnight usually mean bed bugs. Bites around the ankles, especially with pets at home, suggest fleas.
Insects at one spot all day
A steady stream in and out of one gap in the eaves or the ground is a wasp or bee nest. Do not block the hole, they simply chew a new way in.
A smell that keeps getting worse
A sweet, rotten odour from a wall or ceiling that grows over a few days is almost always an animal that has died in the cavity.
The cheapest pest control is the one you book early
A pest problem is at its smallest, and its cheapest, on the day you first notice it. Every week after that the treatment gets bigger and so does the bill.
- 1Termite damage is usually excluded from Australian home insurance, so the repairs come out of your own pocket.
- 2House mice can start breeding at around six weeks old, which is how one mouse becomes a colony inside a season.
- 3A European wasp nest that survives a mild Melbourne winter can keep growing through spring instead of dying off.

If the pest comes back, so do we
Every treatment comes with a warranty period written on your report. If the same pest returns inside that period, we come back and re-treat at no charge.
The warranty follows the treatment, not the visit, so an inspection on its own is not covered. We would rather tell you that now than bury it in fine print.
- Warranty period written on every report
- Free re-treatment inside that period
- The same local team, not a call centre
Three things most pest control companies will not tell you
Choosing the best pest control Melbourne has to offer is easier once you know these. We would rather you heard them from us before you book anyone, including us.
A general spray does not cover everything
The standard general treatment is for crawling insects. Termites, rodents, bed bugs, fleas, wasps and possums each need their own treatment, and a company selling you one spray for all of them is setting you up for a second bill.
Some pests always need two visits
Bed bug eggs and German cockroach egg cases are protected from most treatments. The follow up visit is not an upsell. It is the part that actually finishes the job, so it belongs in the first quote.
Baiting without sealing is a subscription
Rats and mice keep arriving through the same gaps. Unless those entry points are found and closed, bait stations just catch the next ones, month after month.
Safe around children and pets, when it is done properly
Safety comes from how a product is used, not from a slogan on the van. Our technicians choose the lowest risk option that will actually work: baits and gels placed where only pests can reach them, targeted crack and crevice treatment instead of blanket spraying, and physical proofing wherever sealing a gap will do the job on its own.
Before we start we tell you which rooms and outdoor areas are being treated and how long to keep children and pets away. For most surface treatments that means until the area is completely dry, and it is written on your report so nobody has to remember.
- Pet bowls, toys and fish tanks covered or moved first
- Gel baits kept away from food preparation surfaces
- Re-entry times written down, never guessed

What we see most, suburb by suburb
Pest control Melbourne CBD. Apartments, offices and food businesses sharing walls and service ducts, so German cockroaches and rodents travel between tenancies. Treatment is often after hours.
Pest control Werribee. A mix of newer estates and older homes near the Werribee River. Ants and spiders are the most common calls in new builds on disturbed soil.
Pest control Truganina. Fast growing estates on former farmland, where mice and spiders move into new homes while the land around them is still being developed.
Pest control Tarneit. Young estates with lots of construction nearby, which pushes mice, ants and spiders towards finished houses.
Pest control Craigieburn. Northern estates close to open grassland, so mice in autumn and spiders around garages and fences are regular jobs.
Pest control Narre Warren. Established streets alongside newer estates. Cockroaches in older units and spiders in mature gardens come up most.
Pest control Bentleigh East. Older brick homes and units, where cockroaches in kitchens and rats in roof spaces are the usual problems.
Pest control Footscray. Older cottages, apartments and busy shopping strips close to the market, so rats and cockroaches are common calls.
Pest control Moonee Ponds. Period homes and apartments near parks and the creek, where rodents in roof voids and spiders in older timber are frequent.
Pest control Cranbourne South. Larger blocks, sheds and bushland edges, which suit spiders, wasps and termites around outbuildings.
Pest control South Morang. Estates near the Plenty Gorge parklands, with ants and spiders the most common reason for a visit.
Pest control Balwyn North. Large established homes with mature trees and gardens, where termite inspections and rodent work are common.
Pest control St Kilda East. Apartments and period houses close together, so cockroaches and bed bugs can move between neighbours.
Pest control Ringwood North. Leafy streets close to bushland, where spiders, wasps and rodents in roof spaces are the usual calls.
Pest control Roxburgh Park. Newer northern estates with young gardens, where ants and mice are the most frequent problems.
Pest control Melbourne FAQs
If your question is not here, call us. We will answer it on the phone without trying to book you in.
Call 0401 573 777How much does pest control cost in Melbourne?
Rodent control starts from $250 with us, possum control from $350, cockroach control from $220, spider and ant control from $180, and bee or wasp removal from $250. A termite inspection is $200. Anything else gets a free quote for your property. The final price depends on the size of the property, the pest and how established it is, and you get it in writing before any work starts.
When do I find out the price?
Before any work starts. A technician confirms the price in writing, and nothing begins until you have agreed to it.
Can you come out the same day?
Often, yes. Book before 2pm on a weekday and we can usually get a technician to you the same day. Urgent jobs, such as a wasp nest beside a doorway or a rat in the kitchen, are prioritised.
Is pest control safe for my children and pets?
Yes, when it is done properly. We use targeted baits, gels and crack and crevice treatments rather than blanket spraying, and we tell you exactly how long to keep children and pets off treated areas. For most surface treatments that means until they are completely dry.
How often should I get pest control?
Most Melbourne homes only need a general treatment once a year. The recurring check genuinely worth booking every year is a termite inspection, because termite damage is usually not covered by home insurance.
What does a general pest treatment cover?
Cockroaches, spiders, ants and silverfish, inside and outside the property. It does not cover termites, rodents, bed bugs, fleas, wasps, bees or possums, which each need their own treatment.
What if the pests come back?
Every treatment comes with a written warranty period. If the same pest returns inside that period, we come back and re-treat at no extra cost.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
For most general treatments you do not need to move out. We ask you to stay out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry, which is usually a few hours. Bed bug and flea treatments have their own preparation steps, and we send those to you before the visit.
Are your pest controllers licensed?
Yes. Pest control in Victoria has to be carried out under a pest control licence issued under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, and our technicians are licensed and insured.
Do you do commercial pest control?
Yes. We treat cafes, restaurants, offices, warehouses, childcare centres and strata properties, and supply the pest management plan, site map and service reports that food safety audits check.
Do you provide end of lease pest control?
Yes. We carry out flea and general treatments for tenants moving out and give you a receipt and treatment report for your agent. Whether you need one depends on your lease, not on a blanket Victorian rule.
Which areas of Melbourne do you cover?
All of metropolitan Melbourne, including the inner city, the northern, eastern, western and south eastern suburbs, Bayside and the Frankston area. If you need a pest exterminator near me or an exterminator service near me anywhere in the metro area, the same local team comes out.
What is the general pest control cost for a Melbourne house?
It depends on the size of the house and how established the pests are, so every property is quoted individually, and the quote is free. A general treatment covers cockroaches, spiders, ants and silverfish inside and out, and the price is quoted in writing before we start.
Is a pest controller the same as an exterminator?
Yes. In Australia the job is called pest control, but people looking for an exterminator Melbourne wide, a pest exterminator Melbourne homes can rely on, a bug exterminator Melbourne renters can book or a pest control exterminator near me are all after the same licensed service. That is what we do.
Do you do insect control as well as rodents?
Yes. Our insect control services near me cover cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, fleas, bed bugs, moths and flies, and we treat rats and mice too. So if you searched insect control near me for one problem and pest management near me for an ongoing plan, we can quote both in one visit.
