Home pest control Melbourne

A standard general pest treatment for a Melbourne home, covering cockroaches, spiders, and ants, typically costs between $150 and $350 depending on the property size. Larger homes or multi pest treatments cost more. Termite treatments and bed bug heat treatments are quoted separately as they require specialised equipment and more time on site.

Most standard home treatments take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. A general spray for cockroaches and spiders in a three-bedroom house takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Bed bug treatments and flea treatments take longer because they need thorough coverage of furniture, carpets, and crevices throughout the home.

For most standard treatments, you'll need to leave the property for two to four hours while the treatment dries. Children and pets should stay out a little longer. We use low-toxicity, TGA-approved products and will give you the exact re-entry time for your treatment when you book. Some treatments, like gel bait for cockroaches, don't require you to leave at all.

Most Melbourne homes benefit from a general pest treatment every 12 months. Properties with recurring cockroach or ant problems, or homes near bushland where spider and wasp pressure is higher, often need treatment every six months. Our technicians will assess your home and recommend the right frequency based on your property type, location, and history.

The most common household pests we treat in Melbourne are German cockroaches in kitchens and bathrooms, redback spiders in garages and garden furniture, black house ants trailing indoors through summer, and rodents entering roof cavities in autumn and winter. European wasps nesting in wall cavities are also a frequent call-out during late summer. Fleas are very common in homes with pets, and bed bugs have become increasingly prevalent due to domestic travel.
