Which pests are most common in inner and western Melbourne?
Rats, mice, cockroaches, possums, ants and spiders are the pests most often called in across the inner and western suburbs. The mix changes with the area. Dense inner suburbs with many apartments, terraces and cafes, such as Prahran, South Yarra, Port Melbourne and Footscray, see more cockroaches and mice, because shared walls, drains and bin areas let pests travel between dwellings. Suburbs beside parkland and creeks, such as Parkville and Moonee Ponds, see more possums. Newer western estates such as Truganina, built beside open land, see rodents moving in from nearby paddocks. Pigeons are a regular concern around warehouses and commercial buildings. An inspection confirms which of these applies to your property.
Pest control in Prahran and South Yarra
Prahran and South Yarra have apartment blocks, older terraces and busy cafe and restaurant streets. Cockroaches and mice are regular call-outs in kitchens, bin rooms and shared walls. Near the Yarra and the gardens, possums and rats also move into roof voids and courtyards. In apartment buildings the technician checks how the pest is moving between units.
Pest control in Parkville
Parkville has older terraces, mature trees and a large park nearby. Possums are the most common call-out, using roofs, fences and tree branches to reach ceilings and roof voids. Rodents follow in autumn and winter. Narrow terrace roof voids can be hard to reach, so access is checked during the inspection.
Pest control in Port Melbourne and West Melbourne
Port Melbourne and West Melbourne have apartments, converted warehouses and busy commercial streets. Rats and mice are regular call-outs around bins, loading areas and old buildings, and cockroaches turn up in kitchens and shared services. West Melbourne also sees pigeons roosting on ledges and roofs. See our bird control page.
Pest control in Footscray and Kingsville
Footscray and Kingsville have older weatherboard and brick homes, dense housing, busy food areas and industrial edges. Rodents and cockroaches are regular call-outs near food waste, and ants are common around older kitchens and outside walls. Pigeons gather around commercial buildings in Footscray. We service both homes and business premises.
Pest control in Moonee Ponds
Moonee Ponds has Victorian and Edwardian homes, a busy shopping strip and creek reserves nearby. Possums, mice and spiders are the main call-outs, and older roofs and subfloors give them a way in. A visit usually checks the roof void, the subfloor and the outside walls.
Pest control in Kings Park and Truganina
Kings Park has older houses and units, while Truganina is a growing area of newer estates beside open land. In both, rodents, ants and spiders are the main problems. Rodents move in from nearby paddocks and reserves, and gaps around pipes, garage doors and eaves are the usual entry points.

Pest control inner and western Melbourne: frequently asked questions
Ques: Do you service my suburb in inner or western Melbourne?
Ans: We service Prahran, South Yarra, Parkville, Port Melbourne, West Melbourne, Footscray, Kingsville, Moonee Ponds, Kings Park and Truganina, along with the areas between them. Call 0482074889 with your suburb and we will confirm.
Ques: How much does pest control cost in inner and western Melbourne?
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: Why do I have cockroaches in my apartment?
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 services as well as your own unit.
Ques: Can you remove possums from a terrace house roof?
Ans: Yes. Terrace roof voids can be narrow, so the technician checks access first. See our possum removal page.

Ans: Yes, we inspect food areas, bin rooms and loading areas and explain what is drawing the pests in.
Ques: Can you deal with pigeons?
Ans: Yes. See our bird control page for how it works.

Ans: Yes. See our building and pest inspection page.
