Services
Termite Treatment
Our termite treatments use non-hazardous, odourless products that eliminate colonies without requiring property evacuation. Technicians conduct thorough inspections to determine infestation extent before applying targeted solutions. Annual inspections help prevent structural damage through early detection. Treatments work instantly while providing long-term protection for Melbourne properties.
Ant Exterminator
Professional ant control services target nests using safe, fast-acting treatments that eliminate colonies within hours. Our non-hazardous sprays protect families and pets while addressing common species like black ants and Argentine ants. Technicians identify entry points to prevent future infestations in residential and commercial properties.
Bee Removal
Specialised bee removal services address feral honey bee infestations in walls, chimneys, and vents. Our technicians use non-hazardous treatments that eliminate colonies without harming native species. The process takes about one hour with no property evacuation required, followed by advice on preventing future bee problems.
Cockroach Control
Cockroach treatments employ odourless, non-hazardous products that leave no residue while eliminating German, Australian, and Oriental cockroach species. Treatments combine sprays, baits, and dusts to target nests in kitchens, bathrooms, and wall voids. Solutions provide lasting protection against these common Melbourne pests.
Rodent Control
Professional rodent control services address rat and mouse infestations using safe baiting and trapping systems. Technicians identify entry points and nesting areas to prevent reinfestation. Treatments include exclusion methods and ongoing monitoring to protect properties from disease risks and structural damage caused by these common pests.
Questions
How do I prepare my house for pest control treatment?
Clear floor items and tidy the area. For cockroach treatments, empty kitchen cupboards under sinks and low-level storage.
Are pest control treatments safe for my family and pets?
All treatments meet Australian non-hazardous standards, with additional safety guidance provided by technicians before treatments.
How often should I have termite inspections?
Annual termite inspections are recommended, with high-risk properties benefiting from bi-annual checks.
Do I need to vacate during treatments?
Vacate for 2-3 hours during spray treatments. No evacuation required for rodent or possum treatments.
What differentiates termites from white ants?
Termites and white ants are the same pest, with identical treatment requirements despite different common names.
How do I identify roof pests?
Possums create loud noises from dusk to dawn, while rats cause scratching sounds day or night in roof spaces.
