General Questions

What does pest control cost in Melbourne?

Pricing depends on the size of the property and how big the pest problem is. We always give you a firm quote before starting, no vague numbers or surprise line items.

How quickly can someone come out?

Our standard response time for general pest issues is 24 to 48 hours. Urgent jobs, like an active wasp nest, get top priority and a faster visit.

Are your pesticides safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Every product we use is registered with the APVMA (the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority) and applied according to label instructions, with any re-entry times explained beforehand.

What areas do you service?

We cover Melbourne CBD, Richmond, Carlton, Fitzroy, Southbank, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Essendon, Brunswick, Northcote, Dandenong, Frankston, Bayside, and the wider Eastern, Western and Southern Suburbs, along with our core regions of Geelong, Ballarat, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Our technicians work under Victoria’s pest control licensing requirements, and we carry public liability insurance.
By Pest Type

Common Household Insects

Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them myself?

A supermarket spray only kills the ants you can see. We trace the trail back to the nest and treat it directly. Related service: Ant Control.

How many visits does cockroach treatment need?

Often just one, but a genuine infestation may need a follow-up two to four weeks later to catch newly hatched cockroaches. Related service: Cockroach Control.

Do I need to worry about redback spiders?

Yes, mainly around sheds, eaves and outdoor furniture. We clear webs and apply a barrier treatment that keeps working after we leave. Related service: Spider Control.

What’s included in a general pest control visit?

This usually covers ants, cockroaches, spiders and other common household insects in one visit. Related service: General Pest Control.

Why do I keep getting flies even after spraying?

Flies breed in waste and standing water nearby. We treat the resting areas and can point you to the actual source, not just spray what’s flying around. Related service: Fly Control.

What attracts silverfish to my home?

Dark, damp spots like roof voids and storage areas. Damage to books, fabric or cardboard is often the first sign. Related service: Silverfish Control.

Is it clothes moths or pantry moths?

Clothes moths damage wool and other natural fibres in wardrobes. Pantry moths turn up in dry food. We treat each one differently. Related service: Moth Control.
By Pest Type

Rodents and Wildlife

How do I know if I have rodents in the roof?

Scratching at night, gnaw marks, or droppings in the roof or pantry are the usual signs. It’s worth booking an inspection early. Related service: Rodent Control.

What’s the difference between rodent control and rat and mice removal?

Rodent control covers the inspection and prevention plan. Rat and mice removal is the trapping, baiting and entry-sealing that clears an active problem. Related service: Rat and Mice Removal.

Can you remove a bird’s nest from my roof?

Yes, and we’ll proof the area afterwards with mesh or spikes so birds don’t come straight back. Related service: Birds Nesting Control.

Why do I have maggots in my bin?

They’re fly larvae, usually from food waste. We clear them and treat the fly problem causing it, not just the bin itself. Related service: Maggots Removal.

I can smell something dead but can’t find it. Can you help?

Yes. We locate dead animals, often cats or rabbits, in roofs, subfloors and yards, remove them, and deodorise the area. Related service: Dead Cat Removal and Dead Rabbit Removal.
By Pest Type

Termites, Timber and Structural Pests

How often should I get a termite inspection?

At least once a year, following the AS 3660 standard. Termite damage is usually invisible until it’s already expensive. Related service: Termite Control.

How do I know if it’s borers and not termites?

Small, round exit holes and fine wood dust point to borers. Termites leave mud tunnels and timber that sounds hollow when tapped. We check for both. Related service: Borer Control.
By Situation

Bed Bugs, Fleas and Moving House

Why does bed bug treatment need more than one visit?

Eggs can survive the first treatment and hatch five to ten days later, so a follow-up visit is standard, not optional. Related service: Bed Bug Control.

Will treating my pet get rid of fleas?

Not on its own. Most fleas live in carpets, bedding and outdoor areas, so we treat the environment, not just the animal. Related service: Flea Control.

Do I need pest control before I move out of a rental?

Many agents require it, especially if you’ve had a pet. We provide a treatment certificate you can hand over at your final inspection. Related service: End of Lease Pest Control.
By Property

Residential and Commercial

Do you treat single pest problems, or only full programs?

Both. We can do a one-off treatment for a specific problem, or set up an ongoing plan if you’d rather prevent issues before they start. Related service: Residential Pest Control.

Can you provide documentation for health inspections?

Yes. Our commercial service includes scheduled visits and paperwork suitable for audits and council inspections. Related service: Commercial Pest Control.
