Which pests are most common in Melbourne’s east and south-east?
Rats, mice, possums, ants, cockroaches and spiders are the pests most often called in across the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. The mix changes with the area. Leafy suburbs close to bushland and creek corridors, such as Mooroolbark, Park Orchards and Bulleen, tend to see more possums, spiders and bull ants. Denser suburbs with many units and townhouses, such as Noble Park and Springvale, tend to see more cockroaches and ants, because shared walls let pests travel between homes. Newer estates in Keysborough and Carrum Downs, built next to open land, often see rodents moving in from nearby paddocks and reserves. An inspection confirms which of these applies to your property.
Pest Control by Suburb in Melbourne’s East & South-East
Pest control in Mitcham
Mitcham has many older brick homes with mature gardens and large trees. Branches that touch the roof give possums and rats an easy path into the ceiling, and ageing roof tiles and vents leave gaps. Typical Mitcham jobs include possums in the roof void, rodents in the subfloor and ants entering through kitchen walls.
Pest control in Mooroolbark
Mooroolbark’s tree-lined streets and nearby bushland suit possums, spiders and bull ants. Homes with timber decks, sheds and woodpiles give spiders places to nest, and bull ant nests are common in garden beds and grass. A visit usually checks the roof void, the outside walls and the garden edges.
Pest control in Bulleen
Bulleen sits close to the Yarra River corridor and several large open reserves. This brings rats, possums and ants into nearby homes, especially in autumn and winter when pests look for warmth. Older houses and townhouses often have entry points at the roof edge, around pipes and under the floor.
Pest control in Noble Park and Springvale
Noble Park and Springvale have a mix of older houses, units and townhouses, along with busy food areas. Cockroaches and ants are regular call-outs in kitchens, bathrooms and shared walls, and rodents are a concern near food waste. Because walls are shared in many dwellings, the technician checks how the pest is travelling between homes.
Pest control in Park Orchards
Park Orchards has large blocks, bush gardens and a semi-rural feel. Possums, rodents and spiders are the main call-outs. Sheds, outbuildings and stored firewood add more hiding places, so an inspection covers the main house and any buildings on the block.
Pest control in Keysborough
Keysborough combines older homes with newer estates built beside open land. Rodents move in from nearby paddocks and reserves, and ants are common around new paving and garden beds. Gaps around pipes, garage doors and eaves are the usual entry points.
Pest control in Carrum Downs
Carrum Downs has newer estates close to reserves and wetland areas. Rodents, ants and spiders are the main problems, and mild damp conditions suit cockroaches around laundries and bathrooms. A visit checks the garage, the roof void and the gaps around outside pipes.
What does a pest control visit in the east and south-east involve?

- 3. You receive a clear price before anything begins.
- 4. The treatment or removal is carried out.
- 5. You are shown the gaps that let the pests in, so the problem is less likely to return.
Pest control eastern suburbs Melbourne: frequently asked questions
Ques: Do you service my suburb in the eastern suburbs?
Ans: We service Mitcham, Mooroolbark, Bulleen, Park Orchards, Noble Park, Springvale, Keysborough and Carrum Downs, along with the areas between them. Call 0482074889 with your suburb and we will confirm.
Ques: How much does pest control cost in the eastern suburbs?
Ans: The price depends on the pest, the size of the home and how far the problem has spread. Marks gives a clear price after an inspection or photo review. See the pest control cost guide.
Ques: Which pests are most common near bushland?
Ans: Possums, spiders and bull ants are the most common near bushland and creek corridors. Rats and mice also move into roof voids and sheds when nights cool.
Ques: Why do I have cockroaches in my unit?
Ans: Cockroaches travel along shared walls, pipes and drains, so a problem in a neighbouring unit can reach yours. Warm, damp areas such as kitchens and bathrooms draw them. The technician checks the shared walls as well as your own unit.
Ques: Can you help with possums in my roof?
Ans: Yes. See our possum removal page for how the process works.
Ques: Do you treat rats and mice in newer estates?
Ans: Yes. Newer estates beside open land often see rodents moving in, and the usual entry points are gaps around pipes, eaves and garage doors. See our rodent control page.
