General Pest Control Melbourne

Ants in the kitchen, spiders through the eaves, cockroaches behind the dishwasher. Most Melbourne homes get all three within the same few weeks of spring, and one general treatment handles the lot. Call 1800 381 000 and speak to a licensed technician, or ask us to call you back.

What a general pest treatment covers

It is not a spray along the skirting boards. A proper treatment follows the way pests actually get in, and where they shelter once they are inside.

• Interior — kitchen and bathroom cavities, under cupboards, behind appliances, wardrobes and skirting voids
• Exterior perimeter — the full base of the building, paths, paving edges and the garden beds that sit against the wall
• Eaves, window frames and weep holes — where spiders build, and where ants trail in
• Fence lines, retaining walls and sheds — the reservoir that reinfests the house after an interior-only treatment
• Subfloor and roof void entry points where there is access

A standard treatment covers ants, spiders including redbacks and huntsmen, cockroaches, silverfish, slaters and millipedes.

Wasps, rodents, termites and timber borers are separate jobs — different products, different method. If we find them while we are there, we will tell you.

When to book

Spring and early summer. Warm weather brings everything out at once: spiders come in through the eaves and build along window frames, ants start foraging indoors as the ground dries out, and cockroach breeding accelerates sharply in the heat.

Treating ahead of the peak rather than during it is the difference between one visit and a run of callbacks. If you only do one treatment a year, this is when to do it.

What happens on the day

1. We walk the property with you — inside, outside and along the boundary — and identify what you actually have. Identification decides the treatment, and a product aimed at the wrong species is wasted money.
2. We treat the interior where pests shelter and travel, not the open floor.
3. We treat the full exterior — perimeter, eaves, window frames, fence lines and any outbuildings.
4. We tell you what we used and how long to keep children and pets off treated surfaces.
5. We tell you what to expect over the following fortnight, including the rise in visible activity that normally follows a treatment and means it is working.

Across Greater Melbourne

Our technicians live across the metro area, so a general pest treatment is a local job wherever you are. We work throughout Greater Melbourne, including the northern suburbs, inner Melbourne, the west, the south and the east.

Pest pressure is not even across the city. Dry, cracking clay soil through the western growth corridor drives ants indoors harder than anywhere else we work, while mature gardens and deep mulch through the east bring spiders and millipedes up against the house.
