Murrumbeena Pest Control: Whatever Your Property, We've Got the Right Plan
Pests don't treat every building the same way, and neither do we. A weatherboard bungalow, a townhouse and a café on Neerim Road each attract different pests and need different treatment. Local Pest Control Pro starts with your property, then develops a plan.
Find Your Property Type
Character homes: bungalows and weatherboards
Older Murrumbeena homes often have roof cavities, subfloors, and small gaps that pests can exploit.
- Rats and mice use gaps in the roofline and subfloor. We check the whole building so we seal every entry point, not just the first one.
- Possums use branches and fences to reach the roof. They're a protected native species in Victoria, so we follow wildlife rules and seal the gap afterward.
- Termitesoften go unnoticed until walls or subfloors are opened, so we recommend an inspection before any renovation.
Townhouses and units
Shared walls and fence lines mean one household's pest problem can quickly become a neighbor's.
- Cockroaches and antstravel between units through walls and pipes. We treat the affected areas and look for where they're coming from.
- Bed bugsare more common in rental units with frequent turnover, so we also work with landlords and property managers.
- End-of-lease and pre-purchase checkshelp renters, buyers and agents know what they're dealing with.
Cafes, shops and businesses
Busy food premises give cockroaches, rodents and flies everything they want.
- Cockroaches and rodentspose the biggest risk near kitchens, storerooms, and bins.
- Stored product pestssuch as weevils can ruin food stock.
- Discreet servicemeans we plan treatments to keep disruption to your trading to a minimum.
We also service offices, schools, child care centers and medical clinics.

Quick Questions
1. Can you remove a possum from my roof?
Yes. We follow wildlife removal rules and seal the entry point afterward.
2. Should I book a termite inspection before renovating?
Yes, it's a good idea. Damage in older homes is often only found once walls or floors are opened up.
3. How often should I book pest control?
Once a year suits most properties; if you get a lot of seasonal pests, two or three visits a year is a better fit.
4. How much does it cost?
It depends on the pest, how serious the problem is, and your property's size. Contact us for a free quote.
5. Is DIY worth trying?
Store-bought products can be slow and sometimes don't solve the problem. A professional treatment is usually more dependable.
Keep Pests Out
Make your property less inviting to pests by securing food, removing rubbish promptly, closing entry points around pipes and roof areas, trimming overhanging branches, and fixing leaks or damp spots.
