How is pest control in the Melbourne CBD different?
Pest control in the Melbourne CBD is different because you share walls, ceilings, pipes and bin rooms with dozens of neighbours. A cockroach problem in one apartment is often coming from the unit next door, or from the rubbish chute. So we treat your space, look at how pests are getting in from the shared parts of the building, and seal the gaps around pipes and cables where they cross between units.
Most of our city work is German cockroaches in kitchens, rats and mice around bin rooms and laneways, and bed bugs in short stay apartments. We also handle ants on balconies and spiders in car parks. Access is part of the job in the city, so we book the loading dock, the lift and the building manager when we need to, and we come after hours so residents and trading are not disrupted.

Why apartment pests keep coming back, and how we stop it
In an apartment tower, the pipes, cables and ducts all run through holes in the walls and floors. Those holes are rarely sealed well, and they give cockroaches and mice a private road between units. Treat one kitchen and the insects from next door walk straight back in behind the dishwasher. Our handymen seal the gaps around pipes under sinks, behind toilets, around the hot water unit and where cables enter the meter cupboard.
Many of these walls are fire separations between units. Where a penetration is part of a fire rated wall, we flag it for the building’s fire services contractor rather than filling it with ordinary sealant. For strata pest control, we can also treat bin rooms, chutes and car parks, and give the committee a written report showing where activity was found, so owners can see why a whole floor might need doing at once.

- What we do
- Gel bait in hinges and voids, a follow up where needed, and the pipe gaps sealed.
Rats and mice
Norway rat, roof rat, house mouse
- How to spot it
- Droppings along walls, gnawed packaging, runs along the edge of bin rooms.
- Where it lives
- Laneways, bin rooms, basements, ceilings and wall cavities.

CBD pest control that deals with the shared building
Spraying one apartment in a tower is like mopping one tile of a wet floor. The problem comes back from next door.

Commercial pest control for CBD food businesses
For a cafe or restaurant, a cockroach seen by a customer or a council officer is a problem on its own. Council environmental health officers look for signs of pests when they inspect, and many food safety programs ask for pest control records. We give you a written service report after every visit, showing what was checked, what was found, what was used and where the bait stations are.
We work before opening, after close or overnight so trading is not touched. Our commercial pest control Melbourne service covers back of house, dry stores, cool room surrounds, grease trap areas and bin rooms. Our handymen fit door sweeps to back doors onto laneways and seal gaps around pipes behind benches, which is how rats and cockroaches usually get into a kitchen. For regular rodent problems see our rat and mice control.

Strata reports, body corporate paperwork and the CBD guarantee
What owners, committees and business owners ask us most.
Reports for strata and food businesses
After every commercial or strata visit you get a written report: what was inspected, what was found, what was used and what we recommend.
A body corporate or strata manager can file it, and a food business can keep it with its records.

The guarantee period for each treatment is written on the job sheet.
If pests come back to the treated area within that period, we re treat at no charge.
CBD pest control questions
Apartments, strata, food businesses and access. If yours is not here, ring us.
How much does pest control cost in the Melbourne CBD?
It depends on the pest, the size of the space and how many units are involved. We give you a free quote in writing before any work starts.
Why do cockroaches keep coming back in my apartment?
Usually because they are coming from another unit along the pipes. Treating your kitchen helps, but sealing the gaps around the pipes and treating the shared areas is what stops them walking back in. Our cockroach control page explains the treatment.
Who pays, me or the owners corporation?
Inside your lot it is usually you or your landlord; common property is usually the owners corporation. Check with your strata manager. We can quote both parts separately.
Can you come after hours or overnight?
Yes. We are open 24/7. Cafes are often done after close and offices overnight or on the weekend.
Do you need to treat the whole building?
Not always. One unit often works if the gaps are sealed. When the report shows activity across a floor, we recommend treating those units together.
Do you give service reports for food businesses?
Yes. Every visit comes with a written report you can keep with your food safety records.
How do you handle building access?
Tell us the building manager’s details and we book the loading dock, lift and parking with them before the visit.
Do you treat bed bugs in short stay apartments?
Yes, with a staged treatment and a follow up. See our bed bug control service.
Can you seal around pipes in a fire rated wall?
We flag those for the building’s fire services contractor, because they need a fire rated system. Other gaps around pipes and cables we seal ourselves.
Do you cover the inner suburbs as well?
Yes. Southbank, Docklands, Carlton, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond, South Yarra, St Kilda and the rest of Melbourne.
Is the treatment safe for residents and staff?
We use registered products by the label, keep them out of food contact areas and tell you when rooms can be used again.
