Pest problems can appear in all kinds of Melbourne properties, from suburban houses and apartments to cafés, offices, warehouses and other commercial premises. When they do, finding a provider that handles the particular pest you’re dealing with is an important first step.
For Melbourne Talk readers researching local pest control services, All Pests is one business worth knowing about.
All Pests is a locally owned Melbourne pest control and termite inspection company established in 2000. According to the business, it has completed more than 10,000 jobs and services residential, commercial and industrial properties across Melbourne, Bayside, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.
Its services cover many of the pest problems Melbourne property owners, renters and businesses may need help managing.
What Pest Control Services Does All Pests Provide?
Different pest problems require different approaches, so it is useful to check whether a provider deals specifically with the issue you’ve found.
All Pests provides services for a broad range of pests and property situations. These include:
- termite inspections and barrier treatments
- ant and cockroach control
- spider control
- rodent management for mice and rats
- bed bug treatment
- bee and wasp removal
- bird and wildlife management
- fly and mite control
- end-of-lease pest control.
The company states that it begins jobs with an inspection intended to identify the pest, where it is entering or harbouring and the extent of the problem before deciding on a treatment.
That diagnostic approach may be useful to consider when comparing providers. Rather than looking only at whether a company offers “pest control”, ask how it identifies the source of the problem and what the proposed treatment is intended to address.
All Pests Serves Homes Across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula
Melbourne’s housing varies enormously depending on where you live. Pest issues can affect houses, units, apartments and townhouses, and the appropriate treatment can depend on both the pest and the property itself.
All Pests provides residential services across Melbourne and its south-east, including Bayside and areas around Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Locations identified by the business include Seaford, Rye, Hastings, Rosebud and Mt Eliza.
The company also states that emergency same-day services are available for acute infestations.
If you’re outside these areas or require urgent assistance, confirm directly with All Pests whether your suburb is currently covered and how quickly a technician can attend.
Termite Inspections and Treatments
Termites are a particularly important consideration for property owners because activity can occur within structural timber without being immediately obvious.
All Pests provides termite inspections as well as barrier treatments intended to detect, treat and prevent termite activity.
If you’re concerned about termites, it is worth asking any provider about the type of inspection proposed, what areas of the property will be checked, what happens if evidence of activity is found and what ongoing monitoring or treatment may be recommended.
Those questions can make it easier to compare services on more than price alone.
Pest Control for Melbourne Businesses
Pest management is not limited to homes.
Restaurants, cafés, food-related businesses, offices, schools, shops, warehouses and other commercial premises can all have pest-management requirements, with some businesses also needing records and ongoing servicing for operational or compliance purposes.
All Pests provides commercial pest management for single-site and multi-site organisations across Melbourne and Victoria.
According to the company, its commercial services include scheduled servicing, pest management plans and documentation for compliance purposes. Industries it services include hospitality and food manufacturing, offices, schools, retail premises, warehouses and industrial sites, as well as properties managed by real estate agencies, body corporates and strata managers.
Businesses with specific regulatory, audit or documentation requirements should discuss those requirements directly with the provider before arranging a service.
How All Pests Says Its Treatment Process Works
One detail worth looking at when researching pest control companies is what happens before treatment starts.
All Pests describes its process as diagnostic-first. The company says it inspects the property to determine the pest species, likely entry points and harbourage areas, the extent of the issue and conditions that may be contributing to it.
Treatment is then selected according to what that inspection reveals.
All Pests also states that it uses child- and pet-safe products wherever possible and provides a treatment guarantee under which it will return if the problem persists, at no additional charge.
Guarantees can have conditions, so readers considering the service should confirm the current terms, exclusions and applicable treatment period directly with All Pests.
The company also says it uses unmarked vehicles for residential visits for customers who prefer discretion.
Why All Pests May Be Worth Adding to Your Shortlist
When you’re faced with ants in the kitchen, rodents around a property, a wasp nest outside or possible termite activity, it can be tempting to book the first company you find.
Doing a little comparison first can be worthwhile.
All Pests has operated since 2000 and says it has completed more than 10,000 pest control jobs. The business also reports a 5.0-star Google rating and offers services covering a wide variety of residential and commercial pest issues.
