Living in Melbourne means enjoying great weather and a vibrant lifestyle but it also means dealing with a wide range of pests that thrive in our climate. From sneaky ants to troublesome possums, pests can invade even the cleanest homes.
Here’s a look at the most common household pests in Melbourne and how Icon Pest Victoria can help you stay pest-free all year round.
🐜 1. Ants
Ants are one of Melbourne’s most persistent pests. They march into your kitchen searching for food, and once they find it, they don’t leave.
Tip: Keep food sealed and surfaces clean. For long-term relief, book a professional ants extermination service to treat hidden nests and prevent future infestations.
🪳 2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches love warm, moist environments perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and drains. They spread bacteria and can trigger asthma.
Tip: Regular cleaning helps, but for serious infestations, our cockroach treatment in Melbourne eliminates eggs, larvae, and adults using safe, family-friendly methods.
🕷️ 3. Spiders
Victoria is home to several spider species, including redbacks and huntsmen. While not all are dangerous, spider webs and sightings can be unsettling.
Tip: Remove clutter, seal gaps, and schedule professional spider treatment to keep your home web-free.
🐀 4. Mice and Rats
Rodents are a major concern during colder months as they seek shelter indoors. They can damage wiring, insulation, and spread diseases.
Tip: Seal entry points and store food securely. Our mice and rat control services use safe, targeted treatments to protect your home and family.
🕊️ 5. Birds
Pigeons and other birds often nest in roofs or solar panels, causing mess and potential health issues.
Tip: Prevent nesting with bird proofing solutions from Icon Pest Victoria an effective and humane way to deter birds without harm.
🐝 6. Bees and Wasps
Bees and wasps are essential pollinators but can become dangerous when they nest near homes.
Tip: Never try to remove a nest yourself. Our bees removal experts relocate nests safely, ensuring your property and the bees remain protected.
🐾 7. Possums
Possums often invade roof spaces looking for warmth, causing noise and mess.
Tip: We offer humane possum control treatments that safely remove and exclude them, keeping your roof free from future invasions.
