Quick answer

What is residential pest control?

Residential pest control is pest treatment planned for the way a family home is lived in: kids on the floor, pets in the yard, food in the kitchen and bedrooms that need to be used that night. It covers the everyday pests of Melbourne homes and is timed and applied so the house is back to normal quickly.

A unit needs a different plan to a weatherboard on a big block or a new estate home backing onto open land. We look at how your home is built, what is around it and which pests you are seeing, then choose where and how to treat so it works without disrupting family life.

House pest control for every kind of Melbourne home

Where pests get in depends on how the home is built. This is what we focus on in each.

Units and apartments

Kitchen and bathroom gaps, balconies and shared walls where cockroaches travel.

Townhouses

Garages, stairs and tight courtyards where spiders and ants gather.

Weatherboards

Sub floors, weep gaps and timber that suit silverfish, spiders and termites.

Brick veneer

Weep holes, eaves and roof voids, the main entry points for spiders and ants.

New estate homes

Open land nearby, so spiders and ants come in from the edges.

Acreage and bush edges

Wider perimeters, sheds and outbuildings, where rodents and spiders shelter.

Rentals

Quick, tidy treatments between tenants or before inspections.

Period homes

Old timber, roof voids and cellars that shelter silverfish and borer.

Melbourne pest calendar

When Melbourne home pests peak

Melbourne seasons are sharp, and each brings its own pests. Timing a home pest control visit before the peak works best.

Spring

Ants march in after rain, spiders build webs, European wasps start new nests.

Summer

Cockroaches, flies and fleas peak; redback and white tail spiders are busy.

Autumn

Rodents start moving indoors, and spiders shelter around windows and eaves.

Winter

Rats and mice in roofs and walls, possums looking for warm roof voids.

How our home pest control visit works

Home pest control starts with a walk around the house with you. We ask where you see pests, where kids play and pets sleep, and which rooms need to be usable that day. Then we check the outside, sub floor vents, eaves and roof void for entry points and nests.

Inside, we treat cracks, gaps and voids with gels and dusts rather than spraying open rooms. Outside, we treat the perimeter, eaves, windows, doors and garden edges. We finish with a short job record and simple tips for keeping your home pest free until the next visit.

  • Walk through with you
  • Kids and pets planned for
  • Gels and dusts inside
  • Perimeter and eaves outside
  • Roof void where needed
  • Written job record

Only calling when pests appear? Annual home pest control is easier.

An annual pest control visit before the spring peak stops most problems before they start, and costs less than chasing each pest as it turns up.

Final price confirmed in writing

These are starting prices. Your final price depends on the factors below. We confirm it in writing before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you approve it.

What sets your final home pest control price

  1. Home type. Units are quicker than houses; acreage takes longest.
  2. Storeys. Two storey homes need more time for eaves and windows.
  3. Block size. Bigger yards and fence lines mean more perimeter.
  4. Outbuildings. Sheds, garages and granny flats can be added.
  5. Pests found. Heavy activity may need a follow up.
  6. Specialist pests. Termites, rodents and possums are quoted separately.
Your questions first

Is home pest control safe for kids and pets?

The two questions families ask before booking residential pest control.

Children and pets

Licensed technicians apply every product exactly as the label directs. Inside, most of the work is gels and dusts in cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach.

Tell us about fish tanks, birds and pets when you book, and we tell you where they should be and for how long.

Annual pest control

Most Melbourne homes only need one visit a year. We can remind you when it is due, so you do not have to remember.

The treatment is covered by written warranty terms on your job record, explained before you agree.

How much does home pest control cost in Melbourne?

Home pest control starts from $159 for a unit or apartment, from $189 for a standard home, and from $289 for large homes or acreage. The final price depends on your home, and you get it in writing before we start.

Is annual pest control worth it?

For most Melbourne homes, yes. One visit in spring keeps spiders, ants, cockroaches and silverfish down through the warm months and costs less than treating each pest separately.

Do I need to leave the house during treatment?

Usually not for long. We explain which rooms and outside areas to keep clear, and for how long, before we start.

Do you do house pest control for rentals?

Yes. We treat rentals for owners, agents and tenants, including end of lease treatments, and provide a job record for your files.

What should I do before you arrive?

Clear the benches, move pet bowls and toys inside or away, and make sure we can reach the roof hatch and sub floor vents. We send a short list when you book.

Does residential pest control include termites?

No. Termites need their own inspection and treatment, which we quote separately. During a home pest control visit we do tell you if we notice termite risks such as mud leads or damp timber.

Is there home pest control Melbourne wide?

We cover all of metropolitan Melbourne, 7 days a week. Put your suburb in the form or use the suburb checker on this page and we confirm when we call.
